Question for those who are pro-life.

Since this is purely hypothetical and not based in reality, I would call Superman.

I have him on speed dial just for these situations.

yes, but is he pro-life or pro-choice??

I heard a question posed yesterday and it really made me curious how pro-life people will answer.

You are in a building that is used for the storage of frozen embryos. A fire breaks out and you can either save a baby or the freezer unit that holds 1000 viable embryos --- which do you save?

Answer:

Can God make a rock so large that he can't move it?

 

[buddy&wooz]

The baby, of course. Given the (implausible) situation, the baby would suffer in the fire. The embryos wouldn't.

Unless, of course, the freezer wasn't fire-safe. In which case, the embryos would probably have melted already anyway. So I guess it doesn't matter- still better to save the baby (poor baby!)

 

[Tigger&Belle]

The baby. It's already alive. The embryos have the potential for life under the right circumstances, but there have been many embryos in the right circumstances (ie-in their mother's womb) which have not survived.

And yes, I am pro-life. And yes, I am pro-choice...the two are not mutually exclusive.

Sums it up for me!

Basically the question is asking "Do pro-lifers value unborn children as much as those already born?"...for me, yes.

For me, this is no different than asking which of my children I would save if I could only save one. I would save the first one I could and they try to save the other. One has no more value than the other.

Agree. But sometimes the question needs to be: Do we as pro-lifers value children AFTER they've been born? Value them enough to provide the social services needed to ensure they're healthy, educated, happy, etc. Hmmm.

Count me in with the group that suggests that the embryos would be in fire-proof freezers connected to a back-up generator.

If it were in my power to save a life I would. I would grab that baby but I seriously doubt I could heft some type of freezer and get it out of a burning building. I'm just not that strong and if I took the frozen embryos out of the freezer wouldn't that kill them too?

And your point is...?

That would be my question to you, as well.

He's fast enough to be both.
