Something tells me, however, that someone might suffer if you killed all the kids. Just a lil bit. kinda.
-but maybe that's just, like, my opinion man? Can we really know if killing all the kids causes immense suffering?
We've been trying to stop abuse. We can't. Killing foster kids still meets the definition of moral here.
And that is why they commit suicide.
Like TGN said, killing does involve increasing the amount of suffering and I don't think anyone can have the authority to ascertain if the suffering due to abuse is greater than the suffering due to being killed. That should be left to the criteria of the person in the particular situation.
And, since you like the parallel, it's like abortion. Leave it to the person who is in the particular situation (and I mean the potential mother).
