If you were trapped in a burning building, and you could save either an embryo or baby who would you chose to save. Do we have any pro embryo people here?

1. Well obviously God wants to take the baby into Heaven so save the embryo..
...because God won't.

2. I would like it if babies born are loved. Not all are. I would also

like it if people would be more pro-science and less inclined to run prohibitions on scientific research.

Many nutcase fundies are anti-pleasure. That's why, ultimately, they oppose same-sex marriage. There's no physiological prohibition, and no sound straight relationship or marriage is demonstrably undermined if two lesbians move in down the street or two gay men live upstairs in 4E.

I say let the scientists have at it and we can hope for possible good outcomes for research into treatments of, or cures for, various afflications that cause tremendous pain to large numbers of people.

The fundies want control over stem cells. They want control over who gets married. They want jurisdiction over other people's genitals.

How about we put all the fundies on that Mars rocket Bush wants to send up?

3. Embryos are too small
and you could die searching for them. I'll save the baby.

4. Id rather save a troop who has already built a life and relationships
and has dreams of seeing those relationships fulfilled even more when he returns.

That is, if they are not irreversibly ruined by this Administration by the time they return.

5. Are 4 cells
that aren't implanted into the wall of a uterus considered an embryo? And how come they are so valuable that if not used B*sh would rather just throw them in the dumpster?

8. I just scratched my balls...
thereby exfoliating thousands of living skin cells which, according to Bush, are little boys and girls.

I'm worse than Hitler.
