What about this thought experiment: what would a human do in the same situation? Kill him or herself? I don't think so. We like to flatter ourselves with fantasies of self-sacrifice, but if a child appeared out of nowhere and our only chance to save the child involved launching ourselves over a cliff, would you really, REALLY take that option, considered that the child, though innocent, is 100% at fault in creating that situation?
