Perhaps eggs are like neurons, which also are not replenished in adulthood: they know too much. Eggs must plan the party. Sperm need only to show up- wearing top hat and tails, of course.

About This Quote

Eggs are the most important part of the reproductive system. Without them, women would not be able to reproduce. However, eggs are not just passive. They must prepare for their chance to come out and do the work that brings new life into the world.

They must anticipate when fertilization will take place and then coordinate with sperm in order for this to happen. This is a lot of responsibility for an egg to bear, but if it fails it will result in an eggless woman.
