This thread is purely for academic discussion so don't anyone get all outraged on me.
It would seem that the mission of El Cuegle was to kill infants before they become the next Jeffrey Dahmer or Charles Manson. Now, this brings up an some interesting hypothetical questions.
For the sake of argument, let us say that someone can see into the future and know unerringly what will happen. Would they be justified in taking preemptive action and killing someone before they have the opportunity to commit the crime ala "Minority Report".
Two possible arguments occur to me:
1) If you take no action then the blood of the people our evil baby will kill someday is also on your hands.
2) Killing a child that has not, and cannot have, done any wrong up until that moment in time can only be considered the cold blooded murder of an innocent.
Discuss.
