A Doctor's Wisdom

A DOCTOR'S WISDOM

A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said:

'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your
help! My baby is not even 1 yr. old and I'm pregnant again.
I don't want kids so close together.'

So the doctor said: 'Ok, and what do you want me to do?'

She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting
on your help with this.'

The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he
said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your
problem. It's less dangerous for you too.'

She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her
request.

Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to
take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one
in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other
one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't
matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body
if you chose the one in your arms.

The lady was horrified and said: 'No doctor! How terrible!
It's a crime to kill a child!

I agree', the doctor replied. 'But you seemed to be ok with
it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution.

The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point.

He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing
a child that's already been born and one that's still in the
womb. The crime is the same!
