ANSWER:
Males produce 1,000 sperm per every heart beat, taking about 90 days to mature. Females are born with around 400,000 eggs which tend to deteriorate over time, and once they are all gone, menopause begins. Each month 2 or 3 ova leave the ovaries and literally float from the ovaries to the fallopian tubes, where they may or may not find a sperm to say hi to. In one week (7 days) after fertilization the human embryo consists of about 64 or 128 cells arranged around a central cavity forming the blastocyst (depending on how fast it is dividing).
yes because when you clone humans you have to use many embryo's to finally get a successful one the rest of the unused embryo's are destroyed

Embryonic stem cells refer to pluripotent cells that are generally derived from the inner cell mass of blastocysts (day 5). Stem cells have been derived from gonadal ridges and mesenteries (3200 to 4000) extracted from aborted five-to-nine week old human embryos.
The main controversy is whewn stem cells are harvested from aborted fetuses, or when an egg is fertilized in a laboratory for the sole purpose of harvesting stem cells. Stem cells can also be gotten from umbilical cord blood after a baby is born.
Yes, human egg cells can die, a process known as atresia. This occurs naturally as part of the menstrual cycle and the overall ovarian function, where many immature eggs undergo degeneration rather than maturing for ovulation. Factors such as age, hormonal imbalances, and environmental influences can also impact the viability of egg cells. Once an egg is released during ovulation, if it is not fertilized within a certain period, it will eventually disintegrate.
Human somatic cells typically have 46 chromosomes.
Human kidney cells are body cells, so they would have 46 chromosomes.
A blastodisk is a round, flattened region of cells from which the embryo of many vertebrates begins to develop in the fertilized ovum.

Stem cell transplants can be either auto (patient's own stored cells) or allo (related or unrelated donor.) According to the National Marrow Donor Registry, currently 3500 unrelated donor transplants are performed each year in the U.S. Auto transplants are at least twice as common but I didn't find a number for them.
It is estimated that the human body contains 40-60 trillion cells.
