A professor in a college ethics class presented his students with a problem: "A man has syphilis and his wife has tuberculosis. They have had 4 children. One has died, the other 3 have what is considered to be a terminal illness. The mother is pregnant. What do you recommend?" After a spirited discussion, the majority of the class voted that she abort the child.
"Fine," said the professor. "You've just killed Beethoven."
How many other potential Beethovens has our nation put to death?
Just something to think about.
