To quote Marco Rubio, "It can't turn into a donkey."
A dead sperm cell can't fertilize an egg. A dead egg can't be fertilized by a sperm. None of the cells in your body can turn into a newborn baby, but that has no bearing upon whether the cells in your body are alive or dead. Are the cells in your body dead? No. The cells in your body are alive.

I have degrees in biology and physician assistant studies. My line of work requires I be a subject matter expert. I doubt your line of work requires intro to high school biology. It is not a "biological fact life begins at conception." As I have already pointed out, sperm and egg cells are already alive before conception, because if they were dead conception wouldn't occur.

I have already posted the pregnancy wheel which allows us to estimate the gestational age. Gestational age begins the first day of the last menstrual cycle which is before conception. Thanks for making my point.
