The petri dish.

You've just made bad wolf's point.

Why would you drop the petri dish with the zygote in it, as opposed to the 6 month old baby?
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

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.
