Interesting - I would kinda look at it the otherway and suggest that if anything the island likes children and would want them to be with good..better parents? Although it's also interesting to consider whether this is part of the plan, or whether it doesn't 'have' to be this way.

I guess the islands fertility problems (possibly subconciously being caused by Ben's scarred memories?) suggest that a ruling hand plays a role in deciding who should parent a child. If so, it would seem that sacrificing a child - be it in death or to another parent, is not so much a sacrifice, but a forced outcome. Is the island guarding against a greater evil by purging island conceived children and their mothers?

Was Claire forced to give up Aaron? Perhaps not by Kate, but by circumstance?
