The egg is dependent on the proto-chook to become a chick. The proto-chook made the egg. Its the chook’s egg not the chick’s. (a woman’s womb doesn’t belong to her child)
It’s much murkier than that. The placenta is majority made from the DNA of the sperm, not the egg. The child in the womb is both the DNA of the egg and of the sperm. There is both cooperation and competition in the gestation process. Ultimately it becomes impossible for the verb “belongs to” to have any meaning.
