Let say a medical clinic catches on fire. There are 2 rooms. You can open a door to only one room.
Here's your choice.
A)In this room there is a box that contain 500 frozen human embryos.
B)In this room there is ONE living breathing 4 year old child.
Do you open room A) OR B)?
You can only open one room. Not both.
Which one would you save? 100 human embryos or one 4 year old child?

And what is your position on stem cells? If I may ask.

And does question influence or change your view on stem cell research?

For those of you who chose to save the child do you support stem cell research? Or oppose?
The point here is. IF. If you're someone who say that embryos deserve same right as grown human. Would you save the embryos over child?

If you've always believed embryos are tiny human does my question change your mind at all?

B. The four year old. Why? Because there is a living breathing child, capable of feeling pain, fear and horror. No indication as yet that the embryos (especially frozen) can feel.
Not to mention that to save the frozen embryos one would have to be able to lift/carry a heavy metal barrel full of liquid nitrogen. Spill it on yourself, you will never feel a thing....again. Spill it out - lose them anyway. Without the nitrogen, they would not be viable for very long anyway.
Where do I stand on stem cell research? Placental Stem cells - for. Embryonic Stem Cells - I oppose it. Why? It is a slippery slope. At what point do you say, this is/isn't a human being?

Save the child. And no, I do not support research on embryos. There are so many other ways to do stem cell research...why is this a big deal???

Save the child.
Stem cell has the potential to save countless living life if we put effort into researching it- not doing it half-*** like bush and his incompetent administration are doing. Most credible scientist would tell you that stem cell research is a good thing. It's really rediculous how religious fundalmentalist are trying to stop this. They somehow believe that they know more than the scientist that are researching this. I guess it take a few heart attacks and some cancer cell forming in their bodies before they can see straight.

Where is the question? Save the child! And... if this is leading into an abortion issue question... as they're frozen... the embryos cannot be considered truly alive, now can they?

That's a no brainer. To hell with the embryo's. New ones are made every single month!

The child obviously, as she's a living being.
