If someone were asked to hold a baby in one hand and a petri dish in the other, but had to drop one, what would they drop? Most people would drop the Petri dish without thinking twice, but what if I said there is an embryo on the Petri dish? Does this change what they would drop? Ok, now let's get rid of the child and put a future in their place: finish high school and go to college, find love, travel the world and get a nice job before settling down and living comfortably for the rest of their lives .

I hope most people drop the petri dish anyway, but what I find sad is that a good portion of people don't drop it.
