I agree with Sangetsu and am trying to figure out why moral=illogical and logical=immoral.

To oversimplify things, I might see morality as the x-axis and logic as the y-axis and different situations and decisions might be placed in different places on the chart.

For example, to borrow from another thread, to steal medicine if you are sick and have no money would be logical, but immoral. However to shoplift things you don't even want is both immoral and illogical.

I still don't understand the situation in the OP, but regardless of the answer someone will die. Therefore morality kind of goes out the window as regardless of the actor's action he will be saving a life and allowing a death.

So then the argument because an evaluation of the value of the child's life over the old woman's life.
