The problem I'm running up against is that the plague is already out there, so taking the infants to where others that are also infected would not spread the plague. I assume that there is some type of quarentine in place, or at least a leper colony type scenario. In this place the infants would receive the care they need until the "heros" could find a cure. So I don't buy the whole excuse, "We did it to help stop the spread of the plague." They were in a cave, to whom were they spreading it? As far as not being taken care of, they would have been fine if their parents not been killed. I think this is a great example in which every creature you encounter does not have to be killed. I would even go so far as to say that since they are responsible for the abandonment, they are responsible for their care.
I agree with their rationale, but in the circumstances I would say that there were some other options that I would have considered more-good than this one.
I just can't think of a good reason in which killing an infant of anything is a good act without considering any other options.
But I realize my POV is not popular on this, I'm just giving my 2 cents.
