I could see Lurch's if he argued from the point that they have a different value defined for human life.

But you didn't, if I understand you right you stated that because of thier social situation its justifieable.

I don't buy it.

To intentionally go after children or the weak, no matter what the circumstance, makes you lacking on the humanity scale.

The example of the mother making a choice between children is a completely different thing. She's not killing a kid through a malice act. She's letting one kid die as a choice so the other one will live.

Completely different ball of wax
