I guess the question is; should Kate do everything in her power to get Aaron back to his rightful mother?
Hmm...

Good question, though I think there are a few issues to consider when we questions Kate's 'willingness' to go back:
Kate going back for Claire could put Kate in danger and leave Aaron without anyone in the world: Should Kate be risking that?
At what point does Kate have the same 'rights' as Claire with regard to Aaron? I've always believed that a mother is not defined by blood, but by love and being there for your child. Now, of course, I'm sure that Claire isn't trapped on the island because she wants to be, but I think it's interesting to consider that Kate has been Aaron's "mother" for? 4-5 years now. That's a huge chunk of Aaron's life and, it could be argued, gives Kate has as much right to guardianship over Aaron as Claire
