I disagree. If this were a more primative time, and the fate of humanity was at stake, then maybe. But as far as I'm concerned, the survival of my child is more important to me. Further, I'm assuming the other village members are old enough to fend for themselves. A baby cannot. I would give my life for my child. I just would. Am I condemning the other villagers to death? No. They have a better chance than the baby does to fight or flee. My guess is that if such a situation came to pass, one of the villagers would try and make that decision for me.
