### Let's say you are faced with two possible courses of action:

A) Results in X% risk of disease, trivial or severe, or inconvenience or
other unpleasantness afflicting your child
B) Results in X+1% risk of risk of the above outcomes

Assume the costs of either action are the same and there is no impact on
you or third parties except through the different effects on your child.

Are you telling me there is a plausible situation where taking option B is
preferable to option A? Under what ethics?
