1. If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had five children already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?
2. It is time to elect the world leader, and yours is the deciding vote. 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 up to ten Martinis a day.
• Candidate B was ejected from office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in college and drinks a large amounts of whisky every evening.
• Candidate C is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and hasn't had any extra-marital affairs.
  Which of these candidates would be your choice? Decide, then see the answer below.

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

If you recommended an abortion in answer to the first question, you just killed Beethoven.

There are a couple of important points to make about this ethical trap. Beethoven's mother did bear eight children in total and four of them died in infancy for various reasons. Otherwise, the information is uncorroborated. The facts about the drinking and womanising habits of the political candidates are less distorted but perhaps dressed for the purpose.

The point of the question is that we are all guilty of drawing conclusions based on assumptions, of granting information credibility to suit our perspective or purpose, and of making judgements without being in full possession of the facts.
