From zygote, to infant, to adult, to gamete, to zygote, to infant, to adult.

Mental gymnastics and not very convincing ones at that. A zygote has a unique DNA structure that has a natural drive to develop, including to develop the gametes. The gamete does not have a unique DNA structure that has a natural drive to develop.

An infant is not a seperation from a zygote, nor is an adult, they are stages of development from the same zygote. To equate the gamete as a period of development after the adult stage is to claim that an adult develops into a skin cell, or a white blood cell. The adult human does not develop into the adult gamete, is produces the gamete.

Zygote (human) -> Infant (human) -> Adult (human) -> White Blood cell (human)

Is that really how you view the circle of life?

Sorry, again a horrid logical argument.

By the way, you still haven't answered my very simple questions.

You keep falling back on the same kind of arguments that pro-abort's use to protect their position on killing a fetus. Sperm is a phase of human life. Period. It is at one of it's simplest levels. It is unique in itself and has all the potential of developing into a full adult person given the right circumstances. Just like a fetus. Protect them. Outlaw the wanton killing of sperm. Masturbation is killing millions of potential people. Why must you protect masturbation anyway? It is a sin.
