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

No, it was the last episode of M*A*S*H

damn gen x'ers... Don't you ever connect with the world in any way other than pop culture???

And the answer is yes, and I would be the one to do it too. I would let them feel as though it was beyond their control and solely my burden to bare.

[IndianHulk]

WIthout any second thoughts the answer is NEVER. I would rather die than to kill my child

[Odoomsayer2]

No just change his diapers or give him a bottle.

[FishyThoughts]

Wasn't that the MASH season finale? Trite.

[LabgrrlaCWF]

Probably.

[budroscoe]

Hmm...It was also an episode on MASH, an impossible situation, in that episode the smothering was unintentional as the mom was just trying to cover the babies mouth. I can't give you a good answer but the thought of the question makes me sad and ill.

Well, that's what breasts are for, but if I knew that move that Spock does, I'd do that first. (If the breast thing doesn't work)

Raptor is right though. It's a difficult scenario, and I know this has happened in RL. You are so filled with fear, you don't realize that too much time has gone by....and therein lies the tragedy, the heartbreak, and the images that haunt you for the rest of your life.

No one knows what they will do until they are faced with such a situation.

This was also the plot of the final Episode of MASH, the one which lasted about 3 hours.

That was about 1982 or 1983.

Not if I had a pile of hand grenades and a machine gun.
I don't like the question.
There are no ideal situations in a war.

[DreAlexandreNayle]

Whoa. Lighten up there, hombre.
