If you're pro-life, how far do you take that?

I'm with RR. I would save the child based purely on emotion. Just as I would save the child over 1000 old people or even 1000 adults, and just as I would save a loved one over 1000 strangers.

I think that there is a lot of scenarios one could come up with, where  one may save a single person over many.   I don't  think that it is useful, if one is trying to use it as a reason to dehumanize the ones that are not saved; or to justify being allowed to kill them.  

A similar question might be, if the choice was between another person and a pregnant lady who would you save and why?

That's a fair one. If it's between a child and a pregnant adult, since many naturally seem to value children over adults. Which would you choose? What if it's one 90 year old lady or 1000 fetuses?

Would you really choose one child over 1000 adults? That seems crazy to me. Why are 1000 adults with less than one child?

The point isn't too dehumanize them, the point is that those who claim fetuses are people with rights the same as born people, don't in reality really see them as such. They are attempting to argue a point they themselves don't even truly believe.

I think the questions are trying to show an inconsistency in the logic being used to make pro-life arguments. You're being asked to allow 1 human to die or 999, and you pick 999. It's not even your own child.

I'm saying it shows pro-life people don't really consider them equivalent, in fact, not even close.

Exactly

And actually, I'd like to know absolutely any scenario where any one would pick the 999 fetuses.

If your argument is that there are some occasions where one stranges life is worth more than 1000, I agree. Though I'd argue it's more rare than you 2 are acting like.

So we can agree that all other things being equal, 1000 lives are with more than one?

So under what circumstance would either of you save the fetuses over a born person? Make the born person anything you like. I'm really curious if there are any.
