Imagine that you fi nd a baby or toddler in your winter cabin. There is no one else around to care for the child and, because of heavy snows, no way to get to town for the next eight months. Assuming that you have enough food in the cabin for both of you, discuss whether you have a moral obligation, as a Minimally Decent Samaritan, to let the child share your cabin for the next eight months. Would it be morally permissible for you to put the child outside even though you knew she would die of exposure if you did? Analyze the analogy between this case and that of abortion.
