Am I Selfish ? Part 2

Maybe some perspective is in order.

The "Mother" used in the example, has an incurable disease. Not too sure when she will die.

So, is it due to this that the mother wants her son to be a doctor ? Or was it even before this illness ?

If it is the former, is it a "selfish" thing for the mother to do ? To induce guilt to the son so that he can be a doctor ?

If so, does she expect the son to cure her of her current incurable disease ?

Is the son infilial in not being a doctor and try to cure his mother ?

What can the son accomplish, as a fresh MD, that thousands of other researchers around the world have little progress ?

Is this son the "Thomas Edison" or "Einstein" of the medical field ?
