A mom and dad have a new baby, who is born with the consequences of a severe birth defect. The parents are beside themselves with grief, wondering if they could have done anything differently to prevent the birth defect. They ask the doctor, he says, “well actually, yes, there was one thing you could have done differently…it was giving up traveling and going to museums and concerts, but we never ask parents to give up those things to ensure the good health of their baby…because THAT would be cruel and inhumane!”
Wow! Now I understand y my daughter (an RN) got her family to take the shots... To continue traveling! I still disagreed but makes more sense.
Can we have imagined this scenario:
A mom and dad have a new baby, who is born with the consequences of a severe birth defect. The parents are beside themselves with grief, wondering if they could have done anything differently to prevent the birth defect. They ask the doctor, he says, “well actually, yes, there was one thing you could have done differently…it was giving up traveling and going to museums and concerts, but we never ask parents to give up those things to ensure the good health of their baby…because THAT would be cruel and inhumane!”
