Moral dilemma : Hive Ghana weekly engagement - Wk 111
Children are precious gift, it is not just said but a reality of life.
I imagine myself finally having my own child and I discover from medical examination that I won't be able to have another child.
This will break me and I am sure if the world hears about it they would advise I move on with my life.
Yes, they will even suggest I adopt or take care of other children if I am obsessed with children.
The last statement is actually true no matter how "what is yours is yours" is applied.
I imagine myself giving birth to my mini me not limiting any cuteness.
Yes, the child is my world and treasure.
I imagine, what if the father broke my heart and left me in the world alone.
That is to say my child is the only close family I have and I have come to live and care for my child for sometime.
My child grew on me, my world my treasure.
I couldn't ask for more, as I embraced the reality of not being able to give birth again.
Now, there is a pandemic and the scientist got to work, trying every possible means to find a solution and save the world.
I was at home also hoping they find a solution, and suddenly visitors came to my house.
Some highly dressed 🤔 must be the commissioners or ministers and others in lab coats.
I welcomed them to my home and gave them chance to say the reason for such visit.
They broke the news of how they traced the source of the pandemic and how sacrificing my child could put a stop to it.
Well, I couldn't hear them anymore.
Maybe it's just content or a scene in a comedy show that I wasn't informed ahead of time so I could act reckless.
Anyways, I lost my cool as they all ran outside panting heavily.
I sat down and looked around my house that was in a mess, I could see some shoes, different shapes and sizes.
I saw some tore pieces of clothes too and scattered papers.
I tried to tidy up the house and continue my life but the piece of paper I picked up from the floor jacked me back to reality.
Well, I tore the papers into pieces, cleaned the house and burned the trash.
I went and carried my child and held her tightly "I won't loose you to the world".
If the so called scientist cannot find a way for me to give birth again, then their pandemic solution is definitely an error.
To hell with it.
They should get back to work and find another solution.
Thanks for reading.
This write is my entry to Hive Ghana weekly engagement Week 111.
I joined to write on the "moral dilemma" aspect.
Let's personalize the trolley problem. There's pandemic, and scientist have traced the cure to your one and only child. Will you sacrifice your child for the world? And keep it in mind you will never be able to give birth again.
