In an argument with Robert Nozick, Rothbard debated with him the ethics of a mother who refused to feed her newborn baby. Nozick proposed a scenario in which a member of the community forced their way onto her property to save the baby's life. Nozick asked Rothbard if the mother would be justified in killing the person trying to save her starving baby for trespass and kidnapping. Nozick, also a libertarian, actually thought Rothbard's view was too extreme. What do you think about this?
