You are in a room with a six week old baby in a cot, as the baby sleeps soundly a man comes into the room.
“Hello, the baby asleep in that cot will grow up to be Adolf Hitler” he then hands you a pillow and walks out.
Do you smother and kill the baby?
Holy shit. I just woke up & I'm faced with killing baby Hitler.
No. Too early. Adolf took a long while to mature into a fully fledged psychopath. There is plenty of time to see if history would repeat. Also, if today's age would let him mature into the same person. The world is a much smaller place now, people are much more well informed in 2013 than in 1935. The technology is a whole lot better too.
I guess that beggars the question "What about Mugabe, Koni or any other flavour of third world dictator; why have they survived that theory?"
Good question I guess, in a general consensus position from the world, people cared more about Jews than Africans.
Hell no. I just hope I won't die over the next 40 years as I become a close friend of Adolf and taking care of all the finances of the Third Reich while also investing in properties in New York, Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai and Doha and redecorating them with all those gorgeous paintings we'll steal from those filthy French aristocrats and the Louvre.
Of course I have to do all that by being extremely low profile and barely visible, which I will achieve by pretending to be a stripper in a dodgy bar in Hawaii while simultaneously fucking up the Italian pineapple business by renaming Del Monte to Da Bob's.
The possibilities!!

You make some good points, the question is used by psychiatrists and psychologists when they are assessing people for psychopathy. I think the basis is that baby will definitely grown up to do all the things Hitler did so do you stop him? but the dilemma is basically “could you smother and kill a young sleeping, and let's face it innocent, baby if it would stop the Holocaust from happening?”
I don't think I could smother and kill a sleeping baby even though the thought of stopping the Holocaust would perhaps tempt me for a few seconds. Ultimately my empathy for the baby wouldn't allow me to smother and slowly kill it, I mean imagine if it wakes up and starts to struggle and cry as you are snmothering it? Oh God! I can't go through with it, my conscience wouldn't allow me to go through with it.
People with true psycopathic tendencies tend to immediately say they would kill the baby straight away with little or no qualms about it. Some people might think immediately killing the baby is the correct or brave thing to do when in actuality it may indicate you are a psychopath. When I had a nervous breakdown I was put on strong drugs to combat the symptoms and for the period of weeks I was on them I had an insight into what it feels like to be a psychopath. Lacking in empathy, cold and calculated thought patterns, callousness and complete fearlessness. When I was taken off them “me” came back and I have normal thought patterns again. But there's a part of me that that will always have a little bit of that coldness and detachment its part of me now.
You are talking about your dick aren't you?!
Being cold, detached and part of you now, right? Must have been on one of those mind frying benders they put you under, when you looked down on yourself and went "....???? ....Hey! Feels cold .... and detached .... but .... Hey!"
I feel it would be wrong to kill the child because of things he may or may not do in the future.
If in the future he still turned out to be a mass murderer then kill his ass !
I would probably kick the asshole that came in with the pillow right square in the balls.
