Because I get tired of seeing this in various places:

The eggs one buys in a supermarket are not chicken embryos. They are eggs. They are not fertilized. They are a chicken period, not a chicken miscarriage.

Eggs from free-range hens with access to a rooster may be fertilized, but commercially produced eggs are not. The hens don't have access to a rooster, and therefore it's impossible for rooster sperm to get in to fertilize the eggs.

Given that so many people don't even understand this basic fact of biology, I suppose it shouldn't surprise me that so many people don't understand the first thing about human reproduction, either.
