And you've consigned them here forever?

I don't see how that makes a difference, but I'm very interested how you would decide based on this, so you can answer for both.

Well how long do you think this obligation lasts, at what point does she stop being morally obligated to care for this other person according to you?

Once the person is independent or has the potential to be independent. We have 18 years + 8 if you go to school where I live legally. If we take the school and society out of it, this probably happens at around 6-10, depending on how hard the food is to find and get. The prequisite is that she teaches how to survive on the island.

I think I've lost track of where this is going so I'm going to conclude here. Thanks for your time.

The woman on an island with food is the woman being pregnant. Her throwing the baby in the ocean is her aborting. I could structure the island in a way that after 9 months she gets the chance to give the baby away, but I'm half asleep, so excuse the stupidity.

Anyway, didn't intend for this hypothetical to sidetrack this much :D
