You could add one more, as the woman, in trying to save her almost-dead 
baby, was indirectly and inadvertantly responsible for the cessation of 
the medical supplies and whatever additional deaths and suffering etc. 
that would result.

Compassion can sometimes cause more suffering than it alleviates.

(I wonder, if they had realised the baby was dead during the flight, 
what they would have done then? Or rather, what would be the logical and 
most beneficial thing to do?)
