Don’t the sperm and egg cells, before fertilization, have life too?

They are potential life, which is why spilling seed was considered sin as well

Clearly you did not bother to read the entire article and the lengthy white paper linked AND be able to respond in the 90~ seconds it took you to post.

READ AND COMPREHEND.

Asking when life begins is the wrong question because the material involved is never “dead” (dead things don’t spring magically to life). The question is when a new individual begins.

There is a difference between human life and an individual human being. Your cells are alive but they aren’t human beings. A zygote, is, in fact, a living human being.
