How would you vote?

A professor in college ethics class presented his students with a problem. He said, "A man has syphilis and his wife had tuberculosis. They have had four children: one has died, the other three 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." - HIS Magazine, February 1984
