At first I didn't know what you were talking about, how any such case could
exist, but I remember reading about a Jewish mother in a concentration camp
who had a child, and she was forbidden to feed it, for the purpose of a Nazi
experiment to determine how long the child could go without food before
dying, so she smothered the baby.
But I don't think it's cases like these that the college professor in
question was speaking of.
