Greetings again.
Some of you may know me from my previous series of questions, entitled: "The Choice is Yours, Choose Wisely!" here on Yahoo Answers, or from other sources.
See here for the previous series:

This series of questions will present a set of available choices (or allow you to answer free-form). The challenge will not be to simply select one, but to select one and explain WHY you have made the choice.
As before, these questions may test your mind, stomach, and sensibilities, so read no further if you are easily offended or are incapable of thinking!
Question 1:
You have contracted a rare Chinese intestinal parasite that will cause you to die very soon. There are only two cures.
A) Cooking and eating a whole human fetus.
or
B) A medicine that will make you deaf forever and gain 220 pounds.
Make your choice and explain why.

My life depends on it? And my hearing is gone and I'm morbidly obese if I chose option B? I'll have the human fetus with mango salsa, please.

B would be the obvious answer for me. Not for gastronomical reasons but for ethical ones. It would only be a matter of time for someone to see the profit potential and start selling human fetus on late night infomercials. Can you imagine companies paying the poor and indigent for the production of/ and than farming humans for "medicinal" reasons! UGH what a Pandora's box you would have opened. Deafness would definitely be a drag; but I'm sure plenty of deaf people would argue that they still have rich and fulfilling lives. As for the obesity, there is no better time in history to be overweight, since it is a major focus of the worlds medical professions. B may not be the easy choice but it is definitely the right one.

What have you got against the Chinese?
Deviant parasites are more likely to come from germ warfare establishments closer to home.
You also seem to have a deviant attitude to weight gain. People that heavy are still people and able to contribute to society, through compassion and/or brain power.
A human foetus, when it comes down to it is just meat. I suspect that it would need a culinary master to make it palatable though.
It's not so unusual to eat human flesh. If, starving and totally isolated, a dead human body would, has it has been to others, be food.
Are you capable of thinking or just reacting. Please be serious!

I would choose option B.
There is no way i can accept option A.
I don't mind putting on weight n going deaf..
B'cos turning deaf doesn't mean that you are not fit to live in this beautiful planet..
because it provides shelter to all...
and as far as it is concerned with weight its no problem,a person can loose it through some way or the other....

A because if millions of children can be aborted everyday without concern for the fetus, then no one should be offended by me eating one to live.

I choose death. I couldn't handle being deaf. I don't really want to be morbidly obese and don't much fancy eating a fetus.
