The difference between a sperm and a fetus is that the sperm has not fertilized an egg. It's function is not complete until it does so. Just like an egg that has not been fertilized by a sperm has not completed it's function. Once they have completed their function and the egg has been fertilized by the sperm, they have now merged together to create a new life. Once life has begun, no one has the right to kill it.

the question was would you be repulsed if you saw a dead fertilized egg. |
Repulsed…Yes, if was dead secondary to an elective abortion done as a means of birth control. Saddened...if it was dead secondary to a miscarriage. It is still a life, whether it’s one week gestation or 36 weeks gestation.
These questions you pose are tremendously shallow. So do you base your argument for abortion purely on the physical appearance of the fetus at a particular stage of development? Or, on how much the fetus resembles a grown human? Just because a fetus in early development doesn’t look like a human (with arms, legs, hair, or whatever) doesn’t mean it’s anything less than a human life.
