I thought the matter over some more, and concluded you're probably right. Still, I don't think I personally could ever torture a baby to death, EVEN if I knew it was the best (or the least worst) option. I simply couldn't do it. I also still think it CAN be a very dangerous idea to believe that the end justifies the means. I think history has very, very clearly shown that.
Are certain things INTRINSICALLY right/wrong?
