OP wasn't saying that her niece wasn't a real baby at all - she said that *IF* she employed her sisters' logic about lab grown being not the real thing or having not sentimentality, then that statement is true.

That really doesn't matter- sure it's the same in a vacuum but not morally- plus it's a fucking LIVING BREATHING HUMAN not a diamond. OP did NOT need to escalate it to that point and bring up her sisters possible trauma- it was a phone call. She could've easily said she didn't want to fight about this and hung up, but she HAD to say something back. I get the whole 'dont dish it if you can't take it' mentality but there's some things you shouldn't say to family- especially if you intend on keeping those relationships.

3rd story: first off, if OP wanted a lab diamond ring, she can have a lab diamond ring. Hell, OP could literally send her ring to IGI, a diamond certifying company (which i believe is the only one that will certify labs because GIA certainly doesn't) to get her lab diamond certified for a small fee. I honestly get OP's logic in calling her niece a lab or fake baby. People that see lab diamonds as fake are so weird especially when everything about lab grown and mined diamonds are exactly the same minus the origins.

[@lahlybird895]

I think the difference is that if an object or something is made artificially it's never going to be the same thing even if it is similar. Which is not apply to a baby, because that is a real baby. It's not like it's a synthetic Android or something. IVF is just not the same thing, the comparison just doesn't work. And I kind of agree I think op crossed the line here, like this is a stupid ring it's not that big a deal you don't have to defend yourself by going straight for somebody's baby there are other ways you could have made your point.

[@deezvidz218]

​@@lahlybird895the sister was the one out of line shes just petty and jealous. Op wasn't saying the niece was a fake baby just that the sisters logic was flawed.

Honestly the Ring isn't a big deal I personally don't even like diamonds and would prefer something cheap or even just a band. The engagement and love of the couple is most important. Sister made it artificial like the ring is all that mattered 🙄

[@lahlybird895]

@deezvidz218 my problem with that is that you cannot point out a flaw in logic using flawed logic it does nothing. False comparison is a logical fallacy for a reason. I agree the ring is not important however having an artificial jealousy fit over a ring if not the same thing as insulting a child. There's no need for either of them to lash out like that which is exactly why everybody sucks here.

[@deezvidz218]

​@@lahlybird895but the logic isn't flawed literally both things were grown in a lab. The baby started in a lab. I don't see why you think the logic is flawed. And again she wasn't insulting the child she was pointing out that if anyone was insulting the child it was the sister since she's so against things grown in lab and not naturally made.

[@lahlybird895]

@deezvidz218 because a baby is alive and a rock isn't An artificial product is an artificial product no matter how similar it gets to the real thing. Where is a living child just like any other child. Is this situation it's just not the same you cannot compare living things to objects as if they're held to the same standards. No matter how they were conceived, at least not until we actually figure out how to make synthetic children which we haven't done yet. Meanwhile a diamond is a lab made imitation of a natural resource which was not found naturally (regardless of the ethics of diamond mining), the situation is just aren't the same point blank. Therefore trying to point out a flaw in logic by comparing them is flawed logic. We aren't talking prosthetics or gene splicing here. If you want to point out the floor on the logic use something that's actually comparable like some other object that could be made in a lab or not. Or clothing brands or something like that. Don't bring her f****** child into it.

Gemmologist here. 1) Lab diamonds and natural diamonds are BOTH compressed carbon, therefore both diamonds. Just a significant price difference. 2) Lab diamonds are not necessarily more 'ethical'. There are some labs that have really bad environmental practices. 3) there are ways to know you're not getting a 'blood diamond'. We have the Kimberley Process (it's not perfect by any means, but it's better than nothing), and Canadian diamonds in particular are strictly monitored at every stage. Your best bet is to look into diamonds that have traceable provenance, but those can come with a higher price tag. And that's IF you want a natural diamond. Now that all being said, if you want a lab diamond, the get a lab diamond. If you don't want a diamond at all, you don't HAVE to get one. It's about what you and your partner want.

Sometimes r/Slash is pretty biased when it comes to kids. The third story OP didn't even say her kid was fake. She only made a comparison with her sister's logic. Just like how a lab grown diamond is real, a baby created through IVF is real as well. Also the sister was intentionally going out of her way to be a rude about it.

Lab grown baby here! I completely agree with the argument that if lab grown diamonds aren't real then lab grown babies arent real. She didnt go too far, she only carried the argument to its logical conclusion and the sister couldn't take what she was dishing. She never argued the niece wasnt a real baby, she was arguing the exact opposite. Your lab grown niece is obviously a real baby and THUS my lab grown diamond is a real diamond. People get so unnecessarily sensistive whenever babies are brought into the conversation, it's infuriating.

The bleeding hearts gave an inch and the criminal minds took several miles.

Third story - I don't think the OP was the AH. Her whole argument is that her niece is a real baby, just like her lab grown diamond is a real diamond. But it is apparent that she hit a nerve with her reasoning, so she probably shouldn't die on that hill.

[@rikschaaf]

Story 3: I think OP said it to point out the absurdity of the statement that lab-grown wasn't real. It was a bit crude and to emotionally damaging there. Definitely an easy way to burn bridges. If instead OP had said something like "My niece is lab-grown and she's definitely real, so your statement is absurd.", OP's sister might have still been butthurt about it, but it'd be a better way to get the point across. Whether or not OP should have even made the comparison... yeah, I think it's on the edge of what would be acceptible. Over the edge with the way that OP worded it. I agree with that both of them should get a butthole score. Maybe just 1/5 though.

MAJOR disagreement on the third story. Dabney presents us many times with the story of a sibling/friend who starts an argument and, unceasingly, brings the topic up over and over and over again, until the OP snaps and makes a comment back, resulting in gasps of horror and clutched pearls from friends & family. This one is no different. That (rhymes with) witch sister, I'm guessing, has been given a free pass her entire life, and has been allowed to be a witch and start arguments for the sole purpose of getting her sister in trouble. You know the type - she'll press every single button relentlessly; however, the moment OP fought back, she'd run screaming to mommy and daddy, who would ALWAYS take her side, and nothing OP could say would have any influence. It's no different here - the sister pressed the argument until, by her own rules of logic, OP made a point to convince her - and suddenly OP magically becomes the evil one. Oh, f*** no - OP doesn't believe her niece is fake; she is trying to point out that there aren't any truly black & white situations in the world. And how she gets a butthole score? Oh, HELL no! Everyone who defends the witch sister and her relentless rantings about "he doesn't love you 'cuz it isn't a REAL diamond!" but are horrified when OP fights back deserve the butthole score - but not OP.

Rslash, this is a very important distinction: self-defense is decidedly NOT murder. You said in your intro that, "OP tries to murder some people," and that is blatantly untrue. Not only is self-defense NOT murder, he did everything in his power to make sure he didn't have to kill them. "Kill" and "murder" are two very different words, but this is not the first time you've described self-defense as murder.
