"Upon the union of the male germ cell with the female egg cell, a new cell is created which almost immediately splits into two parts. One of these grows rapidly, creating the human body of the individual with all its organs, and dies only with the individual"

This quote by Christian Lous Lange explains the procedure of fertilization and the creation of a new life. When the male sperm cell accompanies the female egg cell, a new cell is formed. This cell then divides into two parts, with one part proliferating to form the body of the individual. This process is necessary for the development of all the organs and systems in the body. Nevertheless, the other part of the cell does not continue to grow and ultimately dies together with the person. This quote highlights the miraculous and intricate process of human recreation and the fragility of life.
