We can culture an embryo for about two weeks under highly controlled circumstances, but without those controls and much beyond two weeks and it doesn't survive. Because of the requirements necessary for it to survive in that way and the shortened timeframe, calling it autonomous is just highly fallacious.

Once fertilized, it does cell division all on it's own regardless of environment, and you just admitted that it CAN survive out side of the womb, even if only for a couple weeks, which emphasizes my point. 

Autonomous cell specification is a form of specification in which the developing cell is able to differentiate with out receiving external signals.

Trying to use philosophical definitions or compare it to a chicken egg (or Duck, as in Ballot) is the fallacy as the process is not the same.

PS What grade ballot to you prefer? and do you get it fresh?
