What defense can be made on your behalf if the child realizes what is going on, poisons your morning coffee and is wondering whether whether to give you the antidote?
Another question. Who is the one to judge what is right and what is wrong or what defense is correct?
The child catches on, creates a diversion, pushes Yonadav into the airlock, and hits the button.
So I would defend the child for justified self-defense, whereas Yonadav's "self-defense" would be unjustified. We have to learn to take responsibility for our mistakes and live with them. That's being honest.
Seems reasonable.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
