    Doesn’t work, it’s meant to involve humans.

    Here's an intriguing question, aimed at pro-lifers, that I saw on t'internet.....

    You're in a fertility clinic and there's a fire. You have to run to save yourself and your route of escape takes you through a room where a 5 year-old child is cowering in the corner begging for help. As you enter, you notice a jar on a shelf with a label showing its contents to be 100 viable human embryos. You only have time to save the jar or the child. What is your choice?

    Naturally. They keep a hundred embryos in a jar on a shelf?

    Its a special shelf, Stan, designed to maintain embryonic lifeforms, but isn’t fire retardant. Keep up!

    I would save the child and then send the car Carearing through the wall in search of the embryos

    Is there an auto-like option on here that I wasn't aware of?

    Save the kid and close the door on your way out. A fire door in that type of establishment would hold back a fire for at least forty minutes and the brigade will be there within five to save the jar.

    Well, the gratification one might get from having one's post 'liked' seems somewhat sullied by the fact that one has been 'liked' by someone so apparently promiscuous in this regard.

    Only on this thread. It’s a pathetic incentive to keep the discussion going.

    Please deem this contribution as a pathetic attempt to get a like.

    Didn't there used to be a dislike option? They should bring that back.

    Done. Think I’ll give it a rest now.

    I’d like to see a real pro lifers response to Strollers’ question. I’m pretty anti life myself. My son gave me a powerful argument for post natal abortion this evening by revealing that he’d had his phone nicked after having left it on a table at some builders bash at Edgbaston. I will of course have to pay for the replacement.

    I liked that because I genuinely like it.

    How many of you men have been through childbirth...not the holding the hands, soothing the furrowed brow bit...but the f@@@ing 23 hours of pain bit???

    I would grab the child and leave the 50 excruciating torturous events to fend for themselves
