I would smother the baby and then feel incredibly, irrationally guilty for weeks or months.
I am not a psychopath, but I am a utilitarian. I value having a consistent set of values more than I value any other factor that has come into conflict with that principle so far.

I hope I’d do the same. I’ve never had to kill anyone before though, much less my own baby, so I can’t be totally sure I’d be capable of it.
Utilitarian specifically or consequentialist?
Consequentialist; I should know better than to be imprecise about that here, especially because there are sad things I find to have great value.
