As JakeFromStateFarm (love that name) pointed out, skin cells are also alive, yet I don't think anyone would consider that a human life on it's own. It's just part of a human being, as is a sperm or egg cell. A sperm fertilizing an egg and the combination of genes from a man and a woman is what makes a "human life". It's not all that complicated.
One question: Can a sperm grow into a human being on it's own?
You guys just aren't getting his point.
The point is, even though a fetus is, technically, "living", just like sperm cells or skin cells, it has not developed enough to be considered a human being. So the question being raised is, "Just because something is technically living, just like skin cells, bacteria, etc., does that mean it has rights?"
