Reasoning as follows:
1) an embryo is a genetically distinct entity with a human heritage, therefore it is a human
2) copulation with a fertile female can lead to conception, thus the act of intercourse is probabilistically the creation of life
3) the desire and the deed are morally equivalent
Through this tripod of logic - biological, mathematical and ethical, any man who desires a fertile woman and does not proceed to inseminate her and raise the resulting child is a possible murderer.
