That wouldn't really call any of your moral beliefs into question now would it? Mine perhaps, but not yours. The whole point of this thread is basically another way of putting the old moral question, if you're trying to feed your starving family is it okay to steal? Is it justified to perform immoral actions for a greater good? It's actually a more interesting question to me, since there's a romantic, Robin Hood quality to stealing for the benefit of others that kind of gets in the way of the actual moral question, whereas there's not really much romanticism with genocide or forced sterilization.
