The baby

A professor is giving a lecture in front of his medical students.

Imagine that a pregnant woman comes to you for advice on whether to keep or not the child she is bearing. Her husband has syphilis, herself has tuberculosis, her first child is blind, the second child died
at birth, the third is blind and speech-impaired, and the fourth has turberculosis. What advice could you give her ?

One student answered: "Abortion"

The professor replied: "Then, you just have killed Beethoven"
