Would you a molest a child to save its life?

They want to live. They might not fully understand what has to be done to save them, or why, and they might not even believe that you're helping them, but they say that they want to live.
You can also sedate the child if you want.

I'll kill the kid with kindness

I'm gonna say I'm not gonna do it unless I know the kid is fully aware of what exactly will happen. Yes, even if it means he dies.

Whoops, I meant I'm not gonna do it unless I know the kid knows the full gravity of what's going to happen and he explicitly agrees to it. lol Damn, I couldn't have accidentally worded that former post any worse than I did there.

That's what I thought you meant.
You're still a monster for letting the child die! You're no better than Hitler!

Now watch as I use Christianity against you. :P When it came time for Christ to be born and make the Atonement, it was a decision that Christ had absolutely full say in. Even though it would have meant the spiritual doom of our species on Earth and would have allowed God's plan and his prophecies of Christ to be frustrated, God still allowed Christ to choose if He was to do the Atonement or not.
Thus, we see that agency is the most important thing to preserve, even over one's life, and conversely, that taking that agency away, no matter how seemingly justified it may seem, is not correct and is, in fact, an abomination.

Jesus also said: "I cannot do a single thing of my own initiative... I seek, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me", but you can say it was his agency to give up his agency.
You can also use the example of blood transfusions against me, since I'm a JW.

Ah yes, brilliant! This kind of thread is the reason I still check these forums occasionally.
I'm afraid I need more details before I could answer the question. In what way does the child need to be molested and how could this possibly save their life. Why am I doing this rather than leaving it up to trained (medical?) professionals? What would my culpability be after the fact? Who's child is it?

Maybe some sicko has the two of you trapped in a Saw game, and threatens to kill the child unless it is molested. So, in what ways? You have to please the mastermind. He's watching and judging.
You're in a Saw warehouse or bunker somewhere, you don't know where you are and nobody hears your calls for help.
Nobody but you would know if you did not molest the child. The child would tell people that you molested it.
It's a genetic clone of Hitler, grown in a lab.

But he would leave out the fact that I was under duress and he would have been killed had I not done the actions I did? Little ingrate.
Lol, beautiful. How old is he? Also, is my own life in peril if I do not molest the child?

Of course, he doesn't fully understand the circumstances. He's just a kid!
Let's say between 7 and 10 years old.
Nope, just his.

Given that this scenario is completely outside the realm of probability and personal experience my answer may not reflect how I would actually act in the given situation. But I say let the little blighter shift for himself. The saw killer can molest baby Hitler himself if that's what they desire, my involvement is unnecessary. Given that the child is a product of amoral and illegal science without family bonds makes the choice a little easier, as well as the fact that they will sell me out for saving their skin. It is essentially a matter of my life or theirs because I would say that allegations of child molestation are in essence a life ending event if not in actuality. Once you get slapped with something like that you can pretty much kiss contact with friends and family goodbye.
So yes, maybe it's selfish, but I'm not going to sacrifice myself for a child of dubious origin that I don't care about.

It's a legitimate disability some people have where they are incapable of conceptualization.
There's no ability to abstractly think and a statement once presented can't be hypothetical, because the hypothetical can't be convinced.
It's a bit like aphantasia.

It's a matter of having a sense of good taste.
Go and take this hypothetical into the real world, go to your place of employment and ask your collegues to entertain this particular hypothetical.
You'll soon find that most people find that entertaining the hypothetical of raping a child to save them to be so far out of the realm of good taste that they won't touch it with any length of pole.
It's not a "disability"
On the other hand, someone having to have this explained to them... well...
