Thread: Would you suffocate your screaming baby if it would prevent enemy soldiers...

Ugh. That's a delightful little spin on Sophie's Choice. I hate these hypothetical moral conundrums. I'll pass. No comment.

You might like to read The Hiding Place and see what God did with a woman having an Asthma attack when the Nazis were coming . If God didn't want the baby to scream, it wouldn't .

It depends--is there ketchup handy?

I'd probably try as hard as I could to silence the baby without suffocating it. If that's impossible, the rational answer would be yes. I don't know if I'd have it in me though.

On the other hand I'd have to make one first - which probably produces enough noise to attract the soldiers anyway.

Rationally and morally, it would be the best choice available. Emotionally, I think it would be a very, very hard thing for me to do. If there are eight other people hiding with me, maybe I'd let one of them do it in order to better preserve my sanity.

Never. I'd suffocate the enemy for trying to kill my baby.
