No doubt it's not a legalistic argument sans law, but something can still be considered a crime in the eyes of non-lawyers even if it's not illegal. It's an ethical dilemma. Is it okay to toss a kid off your lifeboat when you've got plenty of supplies, as long as you're so far out in the ocean that you're not under anyone's jurisdiction? I'd say no, even if the kid is annoying. You might not face any legal consequences, but I don't believe that being legal or illegal is what makes something right or wrong.
To the OP, clearly you should have thought of these potential consequences before you removed the freeze-dried kid from her package.
As a pro-birth analogy, this is pretty terrible: The freeze dried kid is more analogous to a fetus, and the child is not only already born, she's a walking and presumably talking person. If you didn't want a kid around, you should have tossed her out of the airlock while she was still in the box, before she had a chance to live (again?). After you've delivered the baby it's a little late for buyer's remorse.

I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
