That's correct because they aren't humanThat depends on the life being terminated. I suspect you wouldn't have many qualms about terminating the life of a mosquito or a fly and perhaps even much larger animals, such as chickens and cows.And terminating a life... is a very serious thing
Different stages of human development have different levels of intelligence. Most people are alright if human sperm and eggs die on a regular basis. It's only after the 2 are joined that people start to care much about the longevity of these "living human" beings. Others think that termination is fine so long as the the fertilized egg doesn't yet have a heartbeat. To this I say that humans are hardly the only living being to have a heartbeat and we kill many animals with fully developed hearts on a regular basis. As I've said before, I think the important thing should be level of intelligence, not whether conception has occurred or whether the fertilized egg has a heartbeat.
