well, that's not really right.
sperm = alive.
egg = alive.
fertized egg = mixture of previously alive things.
at conception, it's just a cell. to call that cell a human life, well, i don't think would be accurate. but i guess that's something that you (you in the general sense) need to decide for yourself. i personally don't see it as being any different than any other cell that will grow and divide, be it bacteria, virus, tumor, stem, etc.
so it's alive, but it's not really a life.
