This is a story that one my friends posted on her blog that I really like:
A professor at UCLA Medical School posed this problem to his class:
"Here is the family's history: the father has syphilis. The mother has TB and is pregnant. They already have four children. The first is blind, the second is dead, the third is deaf, and the fourth has TB. The parents are willing to have an abortion if you decide they should."
The students considered the problem and decided on abortion.
"Congratulations," he said, "you have just murdered Beethoven."
