"Never judge a book by its cover...or title"

In life, "Never judge a book by its cover...or title" can at times be all so true.

We are given a brief bio-data of three persons to be elected as our leader:

Candidate 1: Deals with rogue politicians, consults with astrologers, has two wives, chain smokes, and drinks 8-10 glasses of martinis a day.
Candidate 2: Twice expelled from office, sleeps until noon, indulged in opium while in college, and consume about a liter of whiskey every evening.
Candidate 3: Received a military award, a vegetarian, does not smoke, drinks an occasional beer, and never cheated on his wife.

If you voted for Candidate No.1, well, you have voted Franklin D. Roosevelt into office.
If you choose candidate No.2, you got Winston Churchill as the new leader.
If your vote is on the best sounding candidate of the three....well....you did not change history and prevented world war two because you have put Adolf Hitler into power.

Now, supposed you are the doctor of a pregnant woman who has eight children, three of whom are deaf, two blind, one mentally retarded, and she has syphilis. Would you would have advised her to have an abortion?
If your reply (barring any religious controversies & taboos, but given as a medical doctor) is "yes", well, then the world would never have heard of "Beethoven" and his beautiful symphony.
