I believe philosopher, Miriam Solomon responded appropriately and logically when she first brought up the age of the child and compared it to an adult. I agree with her in that it all depends on the majority of the child and if they understand the situation. Personally, I would want to know so I could say my goodbyes and feel at peace in my final moments. I am really pleased that she added Myra Bluebond’s reference about children often handle their own death as maturely or more maturely than adults.
