Sperm aren't life. They're just cells. Hair & skin are cells, too.
It's the difference between potential and actual life.
A sperm is just a piece of a man, it carried his DNA exclusively. Once it combines with a female egg (imagine claiming women murder a child every month for their entire lives) it creates a synthesis of DNA from both parents unique to the child; this is the beginning of a new life.
For people that claim to follow science, they sure have a hard time understanding this.
If you haven't realized by now they don't give a fuck about science or consistency. It's only about the end goal, so they swap their positions & reasoning more often than their underwear.
Cells are usually 'alive' in the sense they consume stuff, move around, reproduce, etc.
Sperm are haploid cells which mean they cannot divide or reproduce on their own as they only have one set of chromosomes. The other half of course must be given by a cell which has them, namely the egg.
