Once you open Pandora’s box it can’t be shut.

I don’t believe that.
I could very easily take an action to save my child that I would not normally take, and then never take that action again. Very easily.

I have a responsibility to mankind to act in a particular way toward others.
I have a responsibility to my child to protect her. In a case where I have to choose - fulfill my responsibility to others, OR fulfill my responsibility toward my child, I will choose my child. And hope that I never again am forced to make that choice.

If the government’s choice is to fulfill its obligation toward citizens of other countries or fulfill its obligation to protect citizens of this country - I hope they choose to protect us. And then I hope there never again occurs a situation where they have to make that choice.
