Do fetal rights trump
those of an eleven year-
old raped Darfur girl?

What if you could transfer that embryo to another person who could then carry it to term? Or maybe in the future to a "test tube"?

They should be equal

Even if one wanted to use that criteria, they can't possibly be equal because if they were separated only one might live.

However in the future science might advance so much that both would survive; like cloning Dolly the sheep, right?

What if one day they were able to transfer the embryo safely and the child was adopted and then went to Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy For Girls and who knows in the future there may be one for boys or co-ed and was able then to offer help to her mother. It all would be worth it.

You objected to paying higher taxes to educate them. You certainly will object to paying higher taxes to cover the "be worth it".

Oprah offers education tuition and room and board free and the people or person adopting would pay for the transfer of the embryo. However Oprah interviews I believe all prospective students at least the first year she opened the academy. In light of the fact that she was raped as a young girl she may give special consideration to the 11 year old. How about that?
