    The embryonic stage begins with fertilization and lasts for eight weeks.

    So that really means that sperm + zygote is enough to get a "Child Tax Credit from $2,000 per child". Which means at week four a 0.01 inch sized cell agglomerate. Or in other words you could get $200k tax writeoffs with no problem via artificial insemination of external wombs.

    In 2016, scientists published two studies regarding human embryos developing for thirteen days within an ecto-uterine environment.[3][4] Currently, a 14-day rule prevents human embryos from being kept in artificial wombs longer than 14 days. This rule has been codified into law in twelve countries.[5]

    This means if you time it right at tax season you can get free money without harming any human.
