The boy will die anyway, so that leaves the question of, should I be a killer or not. In this situation, I do not feel I am saving anybody. Not the boy obviously, maybe death is better than the camp for the other.
My wording may have been a bit fuzzy, but I missed nothing.
Kid dies anyway; First bold.
Second person dies; Second bold.
Someone is going to die, but not by my hand (unless, of course I can get the upper hand on the gurads). In this case, I do not feel omission of action is unjustified or murder.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
