Certainly not, but they still have life.
It is not life by the accepted definition.

Being able to move on your own is not sufficient to be considered a life.


Quote:
Are you saying that a sperm and an egg do not have life?
I'm saying that we make a distinction. I didnt make up that definition myself...thats the definition used by the majority of the scientific community.

You wanted to play on semantics...well, this is the definition. When we talk about something being a life, this is what we mean. A skin cell is not analogous to a zygote. A sperm is not analogous to a zygote.
