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!
