Answer: to make babies hope this helps :-) Answer: It is and it isn't. Fertilization occurs when sperm and egg meet and conception occurs. Without this, there is no reproduction, and no reproduction equals the death of a species. Humans would cease to exist if fertilization would cease to happen. There are large controversies over fertilization (and medical interference) because questions of religion, ethics, and morals are tied closely to the belief we are (or aren't) special as a species. Fertilization appears to be a supernatural process because some people believe that "the soul starts as the egg is fertilized."

The actual physical process of fertilization is trivial, it's a natural biological process that all mammals (and most animals) share.
