Baby’s on the way….
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008 by AriThe NY Times’ Ethicist had a very interesting query from last year which I stumbled upon today. It’s an interesting question so I’m curious to see what other people say.
A doctor revealed to a patient that she was pregnant and the patient burst into tears. Her husband had had a vasectomy; her pregnancy was a result of a brief affair; she would not consider abortion. She begged the doctor to keep her secret for the sake of her children and marriage. Later, the doctor is unexpectedly confronted by her husband.
Now pretend you’re the doctor – what do you do? Think quickly because the husband is standing right there and this is no time for a long awkward pause.
If you want to see what the doctor did do, and what the ethicist responded, you can read the whole article.
