If no one is willing to take care of this baby privately, should the government still find a reason to do so?

[/ QUOTE ] No.

[/ QUOTE ]If I equate "the government" with "organised society" and then equate "organised society" with "a group of people who have freely agreed on speficic principles of governance" (in other words, if I equate the "one" in the above question with "many") would the answer still be the same?

The question posed by Sklansky necessarily involves one's perceptions/definitions/"axioms" about Government.

I guess it's inevitable...
