Imagine that a powerful alien were to visit earth, with the ability to eradicate war, famine and suffering. The alien says that he will do this, and turn the world into a utopia where humans will be happy and peaceful forever more, but only if a price is paid.
He demands a small child be given to him so that he can perform hideous scientific experiments on it, causing the child unimaginable pain.
Should you hand over the child?
What if the alien demands that you must inflict the torture on the child yourself?
