See where this is going? You aren't making any arguments that aren't equally applicable to other things you draw the line at, for some reason.
A sperm never has an expectation of person-hood. A sperm ceases to exist at conception. A sperm is something that is consumed in the process of creating an organism which does have a future expectation of person-hood.
Your comparison of a sperm to a fetus is silly because they are quite different things. One is complete organism...the other is gamete. This is high school biology....you should know this.
