[=Pale RIder;495191]I am not sure what you are arguing here Ammon? Are you suggesting that men be fined for masturbating or that some form of punishment be imposed on women for having their menstral cycle. Do you realize that even if men don't masturbate, after a pre defined life time each and every sperm cell still dies and is reabsorbed back into the body?

No of course not, I don't know why you say this, I'm disagreeing with your assessment of eggs and sperm being worthless by themselves, because of their potential to be something incredible should they meet, so your fingernail comparison, which can only ever be a fingernail whether its attached or clipped, where as an egg or sperm by it self or joined has the potential to be something much greater than a nail.
If it is bled out or masturbated or absorbed, this still doesn't change what it could have been.

Potential is defined as possible as opposed to actual. Possible is still in the realm of non existence. By themselves, neither sperm nor egg is anything but sperm and egg and neither will ever become more.

By themselves egg and sperm still have each half the necessary chromosomes to create a human being, I would hardly call that nothing, whether that potential to meet is met or not.
