That's not a good argument. An egg is a single cell, like a skin cell. it is not an organism with its own unique DNA such as a zygote.

The baby my mum lost wasn't just a cell and neither am I so I'm not sure how that effects the argument at all.

Looks like you saw a word and jumped in it rather than take on the actual point.

I think all cells carry DNA.

Red blood cells, for example, hollow themselves out and get rid of everything, including their DNA to make room for hemoglobin molecules to carry oxygen. However, when the cell is immature, it still has its DNA and gets rid of it later.
