But should you put your own child’s life at risk in order to save hundreds of others? Fortunately, few of us will ever face that question. The real dilemma, for most of us, is whether it is wrong and unnatural to reject our children’s pleas for the latest trend in toys or cool brands of clothing, and to send them to the local (entirely adequate but not outstanding) public school rather than the admittedly superior but much more expensive private one.
