They were booing Hewitt for the phrasing of the question, "So you're OKAY with the deaths of thousands of innocent children?" Of course he's not "okay" with it. To even suggest that to a pediatric neurosurgeon was ridiculous.

Carson had just finished using the example of brain surgery to show that difficult decisions (opening a child's head) may not be something you WANT to do, but it may be something you HAVE to do.

If terrorists are planning another Paris-style attack, and you can take them out with a single strike.... but there might be some collateral damage, do you call off the strike?

The Constitution lists the president's #1 priority as the protection of the American people. If a president isn't able to make very difficult decisions that involve these kinds of horrible choices, they really shouldn't be president.
