Yeah. I can. They've BARELY lived. They might not even be sapient yet if you get them early enough. You can just make more and very little developmental progress would be lost. The resource impact is minuscule compared to the loss of full fledged, experienced, skilled, specialized adults. It's excusable AND I'M TIRED OF PRETENDING IT'S NOT.

Wait shit I thought we were only talking about white ones. Nevermind.

Well, it is middle-eastern babies. Not like they're white babies or something.
