I don't get why sperm would be scared, it's just a mass of organic fluid, like snot.

The only difference is, it potentially carries the energy of life, the key or seed of life, so to speak. That's why artificial womb, artificial eggs, etc. can be constructed/created, but artificial sperm can't.

So-called 'scientists' can't create life in their sterile laboratories with their chemicals and concoctions. Life is not matter, it's beyond the physical.

This seed is required for the body-creation process to start, otherwise, the egg is just dead mass of organic matter.

It's also a little bit wrong to call something divine-created 'sacred', as 'sacred' things are usually human-created things that are -blessed-.

Divine-created things are HOLY, not 'sacred', as they don't have to be blessed, they're already holy.

Therefore, sperm can't really be sacred for multitude of reasons, but it would be still very silly to call it sacred even if it could, because it does not contain soul - soul is the life that's to be respected, not some organic fluid of the body, regardless of how important key factor it is in reproduction of more bodies that souls may inhabit.

What about those sperm that end up in a malfunctioning fetus (I think it's called 'stillborn' or something)?

Also, WHY would sperm be sacred?

What's the harm in shooting sperm to a condom or a paper? Who is injured, where's the victim? Sperm is not an entity that can suffer, any more than a fetus is until the silver cord is permanently connected (at the moment of first breath).

Before the first breath, the fetus is just a clump of organic matter, that the soul visits from time to time - it's like a 'training body' until the soul permanently attaches to it via the silver cord at first breath. Therefore, if done correctly, this organic matter can be removed from the body just as ethically and harmlessly as a tumor or a mass of cancer growth, when the soul is not visiting the body.

Even when the soul IS visiting the fetus, the pain caused to the soul would be extremely short, because the soul would get scared and immediately depart the fetus if something like that happened.

Also, it can be explained to the soul that this fetus will be removed so it's not a viable choice for an incarnation - and of course most souls would realize this anyway and simply cease to visit it or not even have visited it in the first place.

You can know quite a lot just observing things from the other side, you know.
