If you legitimately believed someone was murdering a baby, what would you do?

If it was my baby, I'd be pretty pissed. But since its their baby, and lots of people in my culture seem to be doing it, I'd look into the reasons and advocate for mitigating those reasons. I'd look into how the definition of baby differs and give some space to the tighter def.

You're still kind of not fully imagining believing that babies are being killed. People who think babies are being killed don't wonder if the definition of baby is right. Imagine being *convinced* that actual legitimate baby slaughter was happening.

Or, rather - what would you do if you found yourself in a culture where people regularly slaughtered post-birth, live infants?
