I thought you were kidding, or that what he said wouldn’t actually be that bad. Nope:

> [@Parents - would you sacrifice SOMEONE ELSE'S life for your child?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/parents-would-you-sacrifice-someone-elses-life-for-your-child/439582/14):

It is going on all over the world right now and there isn’t enough news space to cover it all. A lot of it is sub-optimal and even cruel but it isn’t like it will ever go away. Given that, I might as well have a turn for my purposes some time.
