If you truly do believe life begins at conception yet you would save the infant over six hundred embryos then the only logical conclusion remaining is that you find very little value in life created through invitro.
Or a breathing child is simply more valuable. That doesn't mean unborn lives are NOT valuable, it simply means that in a situation where only one can be saved that the infant who is already born and breathing into the world will be the preferred one.
This means there are ...I have no clue how many ..but thousands or hundreds of thousands of humans walking this earth who according to your standards are far less than human.
Not at all. Again, SOMEONE in this situation has to die. If I didn't choose the baby, you obviously wouldn't accuse me of thinking the baby is not valuable or human, so why do you do so with the other group?
Considering your answer to this puzzle there are only two logical choices here FGS..
1:You do not believe life begins at conception.
Untrue.
2: You believe life created through invitro is far less valuable than life created from "natural" conception.
Also not true. However, invitro is far more of an artificial prcess than a natural one, and a frozen undeveloping embryo will not naturally grow into an infant.
Again, 600 frozen embryos WILL INDEED BECOME MANY MANY HUMAN BEINGS!!
There is no way to twist that fact...they will become humans..many of them.
No, they won't necesarily. They first have to be defrosted and then aritificially inserted into a womb. If either of those steps is not taken or fails through an outside source, none of them will become breathing babies.
Your choice according to your beliefs (If you truly believe life begins at conception)is in fact sacrificing the many to save the one.
Sacrificing the many what, to save the one what? Sacrificing the many frozen undeveloping embryos to save the one already developing, breahtin and active child.
The only other possible reason for your choice is entirely illogical and irrational.
It is emotional and shows that you do not believe life begins at conception.
If you did you would not allow 600 embryos to burn
Of COURSE it's emotional, I'm in a burning building and I have to let either a bunch of embryos die or an infant die! What did you expect? However, just because it is based in part on emotion doesn't mean that it's totally illogical. I would save the child because it is already active and breathing while the embryos are frozen and undeveloping, plus they won't feel anything, while an infant would suffer terribly. Again, if I could save both I would, but I'm simply opting for the lesser of two evils.
