    This hypothetical is great as it forces them to admit born babies are more important than embryos, but it doesn’t prove embryos are not alive

      it’s not about them being alive; embryos are alive, that’s not even disputed. it’s about whether the life is a person. if you think the babies are more important you’re already conceding the embryos don’t have personhood, or at least not to the degree that babies do.

      either case they shouldn’t have the same rights as actual people. if you think an embryo is a person then you can’t choose the couple babies over so many people. or if you do it’s still going to be fun hearing you try to justify it without conceding.
