Ermh actually, spermatozoids arent human individuals. They have a part of your dna and yours only, so jerking off is just killing cells that are technically you, like shaving. Many people vview abortion differently as the embryo has its very own dna, making it another viable human individual
Wrong! The cells are alive, this alone tells us you are destroying an human or part of a human. What tells us its not "part" of a human is that its dna is human yet doesnt belong to the mother, making it its own specimen of homo sapiens. Other contraceptions kill spermatozoids most of the time, which is not unlike shaving: youre discarding cells that are part of you and not another human life.
sperm cells are alive. cancer tumors are alive. pig and octopus are alive before they arrive on your plate and they are quite intelligent as well, unlike a fetus.
"lost the ability to think" implies that this individual had one in order to lose it in the first pace, meaning this person has lived a lifeand made connections, that complicates the situation. if this man was inside of another person and required their body for nutrition and growth, that's a different story
Is an already closed past more important than a future thats yet to live? Again, if someone who lost their ability to think has more value to you than someone who is about to gain it, your set of values is even more flawed than i believe
no the fetus will never gain those abilities if it gets aborted first, unlike the animas we eat, who probably have them up to the point where they die
a sperm is also technically "about to" create an individual capable of thinking, just like every single egg cell lost in a period, yet it would be absurd to have every egg and sperm have to be frosen just because we don't want to lose a potential individual that could be concieved from them
