Ok... erm... In re placing infanticide in time of famine under "Would hurt a child"? There's actually a world of difference between what Terry Pratchett called "the dreadful algebra of necessity" in such times - realizing that if your child survives, all of you, including the child, will almost certainly die - and the remorseless evil at least suggested by the "would hurt a child" trope (would stop at nothing, not even hurting a child)...

(Actually, who needs love when one has music?...)
