Just what kind of life is it to be a sperm? I think you have watched too much Woody Allen to not understand the difference between being alive and being a living creature. A sperm is not a living creature, it is merely the half of what is required to make a living creature. It is alive but not a creature. So are fish eggs, and other than Roe v Wade, we don't make many laws in reference to them.

If you are going to make a law to protect every sperm, you will have to have only women and eunuchs as guards.

Is an ameoba a creature? How about a white blood cell? And do you really think the definition of "creature", which long predated any knowledge of genetics, must be based upon a genetic concept? Does that mean that people who used the word "creature" before knowledge of chromosomes did not know what they were talking about?
