Age and morality: What would you have done? (NOT a discussion topic)


As Morgan Freeman says to Casey in the movie:

"You walk away from it, you may not regret it when you get home. You may not regret it for a year, but when you get to where I am, I promise you, you will."

I'm curious to see if there IS, in fact, a correlation between age and agreeing/disagreeing with Casey.

So, the point of this topic is simply to state your age and to state whether you agree or disagree with the following statement (again, this is NOT a discussion topic):

"Casey Affleck was right in returning the child to her biological mother."

(Disagreeing means you think he should have left the child with Morgan Freeman; no other options are considered).

Anyway:

The "mom" would have recovered quickly based on her character and the little girl would have had a more promising chance at life.

Well, I think I would say Agree at the point of the movie where he confronts Morgan Freeman's character, but by the end of the movie I feel more towards Disagree.
I think the end scenes are a pretty important variable in this argument.
