You're in a room thats on fire. There's a freezer full of embryos and a 6 month old baby. Who do you save?

Question

You can only save one of them. Who do you save and why?

I wouldn't sacrafice my lunch either...time for that kid to learn self-reliance.

I think the point of this question is pretty evident. Sorry it's not that clear to everyone but I'm not taking sides...I just wanted opinions.

Answer 1

The refrigerator but throw the embryos out (My lunch was in there)

Answer 2

If you were in a room of just 6 embryos, which would you save? If you were in a room of 6 babies, which would you save? If you were in a room with three of your own children which would you save? If you were in a room with 6 handicapped children who did have some mobility and one infant who wasn't handicapped but was too young to move on his own, who would you save? If you were in a room with 6 people in their 80s who had no mobility and a crawling toddler, which would you save?

I don't think the answer has much relevance. It might be an interesting question, but, truthfully, there is no point to it.

Answer 3

This is not a logical question. First off trough the embryo's away. Second remember we save the babies and the helpless first then us.
So just how would you save the baby if you died. Throw it out window and hope someone catches it no way. So it has to be save yourself first of all then others as you can do it.

Answer 4

The baby, it is actually alive moving and breathing, embryos can be replaced, a baby with a personality and soul can not be replaced and be identical to the baby that was lost. I would feel sorry for the embryos, but you can always get more, you can not duplicate an already existent life.

Answer 5

You save the baby. Because the baby is the only human being in the room. The embryos are no different than eggs you purchase at a grocery store meaning that they are unfertilized.

Answer 6

the six month old baby. easier to carry.

no actually the baby has is already well into its life whereas the embryos arent even garunteed to live.

plus would you rather keep the population the same, or have a couple thousand MORE people on the planet (from the embryos if they ever developed)?

Answer 7

The freezer is truthfully packed with existence not skill existence. (existence starts at theory). *i did not say something of the type. i grew to become into in simple terms correcting you on your 'skill existence' fact. II might attempt to save the two. yet i'm going to initiate with the the newborn for obtrusive reasons. **of course a 6 month infant is lighter that a freezer. you commonly initiate with the least complicated activity first.

Answer 8

Simple.
1. Depending on the bldg - it may be sprinkled and all will be saved.
2. If the bldg is not sprinkled then you pull the fire alarm, grab a fire extinguisher and all will be saved.

Unless your in a log cabin - you will have time to get to the fire pull station and grab a extinguisher - most bldgs have fire rated walls of at least 1 hour.

Answer 9

Charlooch:LMAO!!

I would save the 6 month old.
And for that idiot that said that embyos are not people: If you only knew what it felt like to be pregnant at 3 months or less, you would not say that! Some women become emotionally attached to their "non-human cells", you dumbas$! Your mother should have flushed the "wasted cells" you call a life when she had a chance!

Answer 10

The baby of course because that is a real life not a possible life not all embryos survive or it is possible for a miscarriage if they do

Answer 11

Wow, good question...I'd save the baby. He's already alive whereas the embryos aren't even guaranteed they'd be born eventually.
