Well you would be killing something that will soon transform into a living being with a beating heart. And thats wrong.

The embryos weren't even fertilized naturally. They were fertilized in vitro. I really don't want to get into a discussion of when life begins because those tend to go nowhere. But I think there are some key words here:

"soon transform into a living being"

As in, it's not living yet.

And I agree with Hessah and what she said.

And no, i'm not saying if we asked those babies, they would tell us they would want to live, i'm saying, in my state of mind, that if i suddenly had a choice to die or get borned into a family like hers, i would choose to get born and i'm sure they kids would choose the same. I'm sure when they grow up, they'll be glad their mom didnt kill them off.

That's not what I'm saying either. Obviously, no one is going to ask an embryo how they feel. I'm saying it's a completely pointless question because it's not one you're faced with. EVER. I can say the exact opposite and it wouldn't mean a thing.

Your argument is a slippery slope: It's ok for her to have 14 babies and not be responsible for them so how about I decide to have 100 babies and not be responsible for them? And it doesn't even have to be a large number. It could be ONE baby. How about hundreds of millions of people decide to have babies that they don't have the financial means to care for them?
