The question posed is a hypothetical one that is constructed in such as way as to create a moral equasion. Is one child greater to or less than 5 zygotes? If you say the child is worth more, than you have just saved one life forsaking 5...which would lead us all to the conclusion that the zygotes are no, in fact, AS alive as the boy. This would be fundamentally in contrast with the ascertion by pro lifers that life is created upon conception (the marriage of spermatazoa and egg). If you choose to save the zygotes, then you clearly value the lives of the zygotes as equal to or greater than a boy. The caller on the recording makes it sound as if someone choosing the latter were a monster. Well consider the source. I happen to be a liberal with many liberal friends who is anti choice...so I know what it's like to be in the minority. They may see me as a monster, but I know that I am not. The question posed is a Sofie's Choice...therefore either way you are leaving life behind and are thus a monster.
