A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said: "Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 yr. old and I'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 help with 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 for you 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 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms.'
This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.
The lady was horrified and said: 'No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child!'
'I agree', the doctor replied. 'But you seemed to be okay with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution.
The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point. He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that's already been born and one that's still in the womb. The crime is the same!

Malini,
That's an eye-opening message... this is what is called thinking out of the box. A very clever doc :)... It also gave me a heads-up for planning as my wife is already pregnant... need to be careful and preplanned next time ;)

Very impressive, and I really agree with what the doctor said. We should not think to kill a child in the womb. But I have a question for everyone. What should an individual do if she got pregnant by mistake and is unable to care for the baby that is coming into the world? Everyone knows what I am trying to convey emotionally. We should not abort a child in the womb, but practically, if a woman unintentionally becomes pregnant, what should she do?

Thank you for your responses, friends.
Hey Smarty, I understand what you wanted to convey, but the actual fact is that it's not a mistake to carry a child; I would say it's due to negligence. What I mean to say is that no woman can mistakenly carry a child in her womb when she is already aware that she has a child and is not prepared to have another.
It's simple, Smarty, parents should plan ahead to be on the safer side rather than ending up with abortion. Why don't they do that? Why don't they think and implement? How can we kill our own child? Are we such hard-hearted people?
