If a couple harvested eggs or sperm pre conversion of one or both of them, would they be permitted to do IVF with those eggs or sperm post-conversion? And in the case of the eggs, some poskim say the halachic mother is the egg donor (though it’s a minority position)… would the baby be Jewish according to those poskim? Basically can conversion lead to eggs or sperm that were harvested pre conversion having a different Jewish status than the now converts?

3Another version: if someone converts, are his severed limbs metameh in an ohel? – AKA Jan 29 '24 at 07:34
