True. When it’s personal, like having to kill your own child, I can imagine it would be extremely hard to do and most would indeed opt to say “Fuck the world” then proceed to save their child even if it endangers the entire world as a result.
To be honest; if I was in that situation, where the child was my own, I don’t know what I would do. I’d probably save my child’s life because I just couldn’t bring myself to do such a thing, 100% due to being something that I love, care for and obviously have the drive to protect. If it was just some random kid of anyone else, goner. Emotions are a very fickle thing, aren’t they…

An addendum to what I just said; if I somehow managed to kill my own child to rid the world of disease I would kill myself. I could not live with the guilt even if it was for the greater good. I know my limits, I know what I can and cannot do and what I can live with. People may praise me for such a sacrifice…but I could never ever forgive myself and rather destroying my life thought drugs/abuse I’d rather end it. As much as I detest suicide, this is the one situation I nor anyone else would hold such a decision against me.

Of course, it is a valid and logical conclusion to come to when you’re thinking about such a thing. When you think less death you also think more life, they’re almost synonymous with each other. But, when you look into it beyond the surface you soon realize that it’s much more complicated then just that.
