If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis.

Would you recommend that she have an abortion?

lame question.
You know the person grew up to be Beethoven, big deal. We have been forced this analogy down our throats. Heres something for you to think about, if she'd had an abortion does that mean we would've had missed out on something?
The answer is NO. That is so because if we dont know what we are missing, it doesnt make any difference. Lack of apriori knowledge dismisses the logic behind the conclusions in these type of questions.

I'm glad that you know. Good for you!
