Stuck in my craw

This argument has been bothering me.
Excerpt: Stark called into Wilkow's show the other day and tried to pin him down on a hypothetical that touches on abortion rights and the moment that life begins: Imagine that you're in a burning fertility clinic with a 2-year-old baby and a petri dish containing five blastulas. You can't save both, so which do you save?
And now I know why.

From Mr. Vidiot:
Their argument is based on a rational choice model, their argument is weak. Human action and behavior is not just of rational choice but also of emotion. They neglect human emotion. Also the argument is based on "what if." A what if argument is discredited before it begins. You cannot base an argument on an untruth.

Man. It's like getting at an itch you can't scratch. What a relief.
