Thou shall not kill....circumstantial or not?, Is is justified to kill baby Hitler? Options

[XoJennaoX]

As a young person you travel back in time to pre-World War II Germany, intending to kill the infant Adolf Hitler in order to prevent the horrors of the Holocaust. Disguising yourself as a housekeeper, you infiltrate the Hitler household, where you experience the environment that possibly shaped Hitler's warped thinking - his abusive, racist father and his weak, ineffective mother.

But killing a baby is much more difficult than you'd imagined, and though you try several times to commit the act, you find yourself either unable or prevented from doing it. Finally, you steal the infant out of his crib and though you are followed by the child's nanny, manage to leap from a bridge, drowning both yourself and the baby Hitler.

But history may not be changed! The maid spies a mentally ill gypsy woman sitting with her baby, and buys the child, passing him off to the unwitting Hitler parents as their own baby.

What do you think? Was Hitler born evil (was it in his innate nature to be who he was) or was it other factors? What do you do? Would you kill baby Hitler, or would you not? Would you sacrifice yourself? If you do kill him, you must take the guilty plea of having committed murder on an innocent life. Taking note that Hitler (as an infant) is completely innocent and you yourself have to kill him. It is harder than it sounds.

Here's my point. There is something that came out of the Holocaust. Human nature learns through pain, by error and mistake, and we learn from that mistake by avoiding ourselves from doing it. Millions of people died, cities lost, families destroyed, but they have purpose. To say the truth, the Holocaust boosted society's progress by showing the extent of pain. I am not justifying what he did, and I am not saying that those lives, the things he destroyed should have been destroyed. I am simply stating that, yes, even though the things he did were horrible, the legacy that he left, we learned something from it.

so, given the choice, you would still allow the holocaust to occur?
