Correct. All you’re doing when you produce a baby is taking a bunch of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen atoms, along with a load of other types of atoms as well, and rearranging them. You got the same amount of atoms you started with, they’re just in the shape of a baby instead of the shape of a bowl of cereal.
