In your opinion, would it have been right (morally) to remove the infants organs,

thereby causing her immediate death, to save the other children?

In my opinion that removing the infants organ is being alive is a benefit only if it
enables one to carry on activities and have thoughts, feelings, and relations with other
people. In the absence of such things, mere biological existence is worthless.

Thus, their reasoning seems to have been:

1. If we can benefit someone, without harming anyone else, we ought to do so.

2. Transplanting the organs would benefit the other children without harming any
infants.

Therefore, we ought to transplant the organs.
