2. Is Love Enough?
Now, I will start by saying I've never really been 'in love" before (trust me, you don't want to know the half of it), but I am pretty sure of what it would take for me to kill kids who may or may not turn into homicidal maniacs. There is no amount of pain or anguish that would drive me to do something that heinous. However, I believe the morale paradox they were aiming for is the Hitler question, would you kill him as a child to prevent WWII and the holocaust? Now, it is presumable that Rainmaker's powers threatened the world at large, but this is never directly addressed from old-Joe. He is singled minded in that this will bring back his dead wife, he's not trying to save the world. So is the love of one man really enough to justify killing innocents?
