Two Ethical Questions

Read the questions, answer in your head, and then (when you have answered both questions for yourself) look at the additional information on the bottom. Do not read that first, or this whole thing will lose its point.

QUESTION#1:
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?

QUESTION#2:
It is time to elect the world leader, and your vote counts.
Here are the facts about the three leading candidates:

Candidate A:
Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologers. He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.
Candidate B:
He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whisky every evening.
Candidate C:
He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and hasn't had any extramarital affairs.

Which of these candidates would be your choice?
Decide first, no peeking, then scroll down for the answer.


Well, here's the additional information:

Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidate B is Winston Churchill.
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.

And by the way:
Answer to the abortion question -
If you said yes, you just killed Beethoven.
