:08:01
to consider...
:08:04
and one related to the customs
to simplify matters

:08:08
Yes?
:08:10
Let's imagine the following situation
A man is dying of cancer...

:08:15
This is the third case of cancer
this year

:08:20
He is treated by an excellent specialist
:08:24
...who's believing Christian,
by the way, it's important

:08:27
Well, the doctor happen to live
:08:31
...in the same house as the patient
and his wife

:08:34
The wife starts pestering the doctor
:08:38
She wants to know...
:08:43
whether her husband will die
:08:46
And when, but the doctor
can't tell her that

:08:48
To him, it's like
passing a death sentence

:08:50
As a believer he can't do it
:08:56
But the patient's wife grows
more and more intrusive

:08:58
The doctor suspects her of having...
:09:02
special reasons that make her
insist on his answer

:09:05
It appears he's right:
The woman is pregnant

:09:10
It's another man's baby
:09:12
The husband doesn't know
What's more...

:09:16
She couldn't get pregnant before
:09:21
She loves her unborn baby,
:09:25
But she also loves her husband
:09:28
If he's going to live,
:09:33
She'll have an abortion
:09:35
If he dies, she can have her baby
:09:41
The doctor is to decide about
that baby's life

:09:44
whether he likes it or not
He's aware of that

:09:49
I know how the story ended
:09:52
Warsaw's a small town
:09:54
To make things more difficult for you,
I might add the baby's alive

:09:59
Which is perhaps the most important
element of the story
