Who do you save?

The OP does not address stem cell research. The OP is concerned with the belief that a frozen embryo is equivalent to a human life.

Okay, I've repeated this a few times now. Hopefully, everyone is clear as to the point of the OP.

Thanks for clearing up that your inspiration for this thread had nothing to do with it.

I'd save the one year old child and leave the other lives there in hopes that the cryogenic safe also has a measure of fireproofing to last until the fire department gets there.

Riviting discussion going on here.

I said quite the opposite. The inspiration for a question and the question can be two different things, but I'm sure you already know that.

I'd save the one year old child and leave the other lives there in hopes that the cryogenic safe also has a measure of fireproofing to last until the fire department gets there.

Then do you agree that an embryo is not equivalent to a (one year old) human life?

Let me rephrase the question. If the choice was between twenty one-year old children and one child, would you still save the one child?

Riviting discussion going on here.

Thanks for the opinion. You're free to refrain from replying.

This is inspired by the stem cell research debate.

I'd go for the child my friend, but that's just mho and what I'd do, what about you?
