No, the point at which the egg becomes viably attached to the uterus.

>>> Oh.

>>> Than I suggest - for clarity's sake - that you use the descriptive phrase 'uterine attachment'... because that is not how 'viability' is commonly understood.

>>> PS - What about the - thus far hypothetical - case of a 'test tube' baby? If an 'artificial womb' is developed?

>>> PPS - What about 'theraputic cloning', where nuclear implantation is used to trigger stem cell production and division in an egg cell in a petri dish... and where no sperm cell is used, and the blastocyte never is placed in a womb (and never divides past 12 or 16 cells, I believe)?
