agzg nailed it, you said "Who knows what condition those children are in," as if you should have gotten a Carfax report.

And since those children will be able to find all that frank talk by about age 13 or so thanks to the internet, they're the ones who can provide further objection.

There's also a weird dichotomy in talking about people as objects in a thread that talks about embryos as people.
