Crying Baby
Smother your baby to keep a hidden village from being discovered.
Scenario
You and your fellow villagers are hiding from soldiers in a basement. The soldiers are searching the homes above. If they find anyone, they will kill everyone — including your infant. Your baby starts to cry. The only way to keep the soldiers from hearing is to smother the baby, which will certainly kill them. If you do nothing, the soldiers will hear the cry and kill all of you, including the baby.
