Sorry, gotcha. I hadn't realized that you were using the Clinton definition of relations ;-)

I can't say I agree even now, it's submitting morals to tribalism, which may be natural but has been something of a problem for humankind.

If we reverse the situation; you are one of the other prisoners. You watch the sadistic guard threaten the a father with cooperating in his sons murder, else the guard will kill one of the rest of you. If the father asked you what the moral thing to do was, would you feel he has no obligation to spare one of the rest of you (knowing it could be you that dies)?
blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” – John 20:26-29
