Well, when the seed is wasted, you most certainly can't create a human at all at that point, not with that specific seed.Well, your semen is alive, but it's not an individual human life. You have to fertilize a woman's egg to get a new life.
Yes, the process requires semen, but semen alone isn't a human life. Masturbation has not one thing to do with murder.
Obviously, I hold that the seed is worthy of its own life, and those, within the religion, who waste their seed are like, or compared to, murderers. There's no shortage of condemnations of such people who are, again, inside the religion.
but that can be different for people who are outside the religion. I wouldn't go to some guy in italy, and tell him that he's a murderer because he wasted his seed, because for him, it may not even be true. Is it bad for him spiritually? sure. But murder? He has no obligations to the religion, so such rhetoric is not only inappropriate, it is possibly even a lie, for him. Again, I would say he should just be careful not to get addicted.
