The petri dish.

Why would you drop the petri dish with the zygote in it, as opposed to the 6 month old baby?

Because the babies life is worth more than the petri dish's. I can buy a new petri dish.

Oh, no. You have misunderstood me. I wasn't asking whether you would drop a baby or a petri dish. I was asking whether you would drop a baby or a zygote. The zygote just happens to be in the petri dish. Do you know what a zygote is? I'll tell you. Its a fertilized human egg. According to you, its a baby. So now, if you had to drop one of them, which one would it be?

I can't decide if this is utter stupidity or an inspired and funny Poe.

Oh well, I guess we won't ever get an answer. But I suspect I know the answer that we would have gotten from her. I also suspect I know what she would have done in my hypothetical situation.
