If you could only save one . . .
 
If a fire breaks out in a fertility clinic, whom do you save — a Petri dish with five blastula or the two year-old child?

Already done in politics. And wow, was that a mess.

Er, not to put a damper on things. Maybe it will be more interesting here.

I save the kid because, er, blastulas are kind of hard to anthropomorphize.

Both. And yes, I know I'm ignoring the restrictions of the OP. We did this recently (I thought it was here, but it might have been in Politics).

How many blastula can the two year-old child be expected to co-produce during their lifetime? More than 5 I'd gather, especially if he/she went out of their way to do it.

I chose the child, obviously.

If for no other reason (althought there are a ton) I can go with the toddler for suffering reasons. No nervous system = no pain.

whats the chances of the blastula actually becoming children. Remember they don't always become children due to the artificial fertilization methods correct?

What is the two year old doing alone in a fertility clinic?

I like this question.

It's petty in a really satisfying way.
