You do realize the exact same argument could be leveled against a fetus too, yes? A fetus... by itself... has no future expectation of person-hood. A fetus... by itself... will never ever become a person. Both items, the sperm and the fetus, require action and support from already extant persons to persist long enough to reach the human stage. The line you're drawing is arbitrary, and I think you know that because I distinctly remember that you've been exposed to this counter argument before.
