> There isn't a moral equivalence between interfering in the process and allowing nature to run its course.

Argument from naturality. The moral equivalence arises from the context and circumstance - not on whether one chooses to interfere or not.




That isn't an objection.

Inaction doesn't require justification unless action is obligatory.

The decision to help a child mutilate himself is never obligatory (or even justifiable).
