What Would You Advise Her?

Dear Friend,

A college ethics teacher gave the following situation to a class of students.

How would you advise a mother who was pregnant with her fifth child based on the following facts.

Her husband had syphilis.

She had tuberculosis.

Their first child was born blind.

Their second child died.

Their third child was born deaf.

Their fourth child had tuberculosis.

The mother is considering an abortion.

Would you advise her to have one? In view of these facts, most of the college students agreed that she should have an abortion.

The college professor then announced if you said ‘yes’ you would have just killed the great composer Ludwig Von Beethoven!

God loves those who pray always and do not lose heart.
