This is something my friend asked me and I can't figure it out. Please help me with this.
There's a variation that goes as follows: A man, his wife, and their son are in a car accident. They are all rushed to the hospital and the doctor says, "I can't operate on him, he's my son."
I don't get this

The doctor is the man's father.
I don't get that. Shouldn't a father operate his son, because he would be a bad father if he didn't?
Medical ethics forbid doctors from operating on close members of their families.
