The Wisdom of a Doctor

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!
