Well, an unfertilized egg is not fertilized. At that point it, and sperm, are like the tip of your finger, they are part of a human but they are not a human.

Only in the world of particle physics would anyone postulate a percentage chance that gut bacteria would grow into a human. However, the ridiculousness of your assertion only serves to strengthen the point that you have no basis for your opinion.

Yepperooney. That "something special" is the same thing that happens when any animal procreates. We, as humans, place special value on human life because we are the only species in which we have seen conclusive evidence of self awareness, or sentience.
