The Doctor

Help from a Good Doctor

A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said: "Doctor, I have a seriousproblem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 yr. old andI'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 helpwith 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 foryou 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 twobabies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, youcould rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one ofthem, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for yourbody if you chose the one in your arms."The lady was horrified and said: "No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime tokill a child!"'" agree", the doctor replied. "But you seemed to be ok with it, so Ithought maybe that was the best solution." He smiled, realizing that he hadmade his point.He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that'salready been born and one that's still in the womb. The crime is the same!
