Read what I am saying please. The definition of what is or is not alive cannot be used on a single part of a living organism. If your cells were taken out of your body they would not be considered alive. Taken literally you could use the definition of life to argue that children are not a live for a variety of reasons. You cannot compare a sperm cell to an amoeba and say if we consider the one to be alive we must consider the other to be because it is two different concepts that share a name.
