Abortion question for pro-lifers. How fully do you consider an embryo to be a person?
I came across an interesting test for pro-lifers. If you're against abortion and think that humanity begins at conception or a fetus is a person what would you do in the following circumstance:
[quote]You're a firefighter and you're responding to a fire at a fertility clinic or some such.
You enter the building and you see on your left, a 3 year old girl and on your right a tank full of hundreds of fertilized embryos ready and intended for implantation.
The tank and the girl both weigh roughly the same amount
Do you save the little girl or do you save the embryos?[/quote]
If you truly consider the embryos to be human life then obviously you must save the hundreds of humans lives over the one.
If you would save the little girl then you must consider how truly you hold those embryos to be people.
