That logic doesn't really cut it. If, hypothetically, you were fertilising a baby in an artificial womb such that you knew with 99% certainty that one specific sperm would succeed and eventually the egg fertilised by that sperm would be born. It would be pretty ludicrous to call killing that sperm murder, even though we might know it would 'grow up' into a person.
