    1. I could and would say “Hey, I don’t think IVF is moral. I don’t think murder is justifiable.”

    2. I do not have time to save hundreds of petri dishes at once. IVF is also immoral as it creates so many human persons and only chooses one to live. I call the fire department after saving the child and pocketing as many petri dishes as I can

      1. You could and would, but have you? I can assure you you’ve met many people who were conceived via IVF. Have you told them their parents are murderers to their face? Again, it’s super easy to hold these beliefs behind a keyboard.
      2. The hypothetical only allows you to save one of these things. The 4-year-old child or hundreds of embryos. Which do you save?
      3. I will say that I actually have more respect for anti-choice people when they are also anti-IVF. At least you’re consistent, so there’s that.
      4. What are your views on capital punishment? I hope they are consistent there too.

        1. I really haven’t. No one walks around telling people how they were conceived

        2. If I only have two choices, I would choose the embryos, and keep them frozen until someone is ready to adopt them.

        3. thanks

        4. Capital Punishment and the overall construct of “punishment over rehabilitation” are bad.
