But what about the petri dish? Do 'shards' not mean anything to you people? Do you not know that shards cause 23.5 percent of all cuts suffered by people each year (excluding 1979)?

Default Old question

I think original question on the Net was if you were in a clinic with frozen IV embryos and there was a small child there and a fire broke out, who would you save; the drozens of frozen embryos or the small child?

Apart from the frozen embryos defrosting in a fire , the small child is already living and breathing. The embyros would have to be first be implanted in some woman, implantation TAKE, and then survive 9 months and not be miscarired. That small child has already survived all of that. A lot of IF'S with those embroys. I would save the child.

Anyone with reason and compassion would as well. The two are obviously not the same.

I never expected much in the line of a direct reply from the anti-choice stormtroopers. I just enjoy watching all the dancing around.

The correct answer is you "drop" the petri dish. The baby, you spike on the floor like an offensive linemen who just scored the only touchdown of his life.

I need input from the "pro-life" (Anti-Choice) crowd to decide which one I should drop.
If you're going to demand that people think of a fertilized egg as the same thing as a newborn baby, then why the hell are you holding a fertilized egg where it doesn't belong?

You do realize we pro-life (anti-killing baby) people will not agree to your terms and instead defend both children as they are innocents, while at the same time be quite happy to take you down as an attempted murderer right?

"by take you down", I mean get ahold of you in such a way as to prevent you doing harm to children and turn you over to the law to be charged with attempted murder. (because we are legal like that)
