Consider the following hypothetical scenario. Explain what an act utilitarian would say about this scenario, and what a Kantian would say about this scenario. Ultimately, what do you think is the right thing to do in this scenario, and why? Explain and support your answer with reasons.

Scenario: You are hiding in an attic with 30 other people from your town, trying to stay concealed from invading soldiers who are sweeping through your town.

In your arms is your young baby, who has a bad cold. Just as soldiers are about to enter the house where you are hiding, your baby begins to cry very loudly. You have absolutely no way to silence your baby except by covering her mouth, but you know that if you cover her mouth she will be unable to breathe (due to her bad cold) and that she will almost certainly suffocate and die. If you don’t cover her mouth, you know that the soldiers will almost certainly hear her crying and discover you and the other villagers hiding in the basement, and you know that they will execute every single one of you. You have no other options. What should you do?
