well starving babies are a strong impetus for compassion, as is all suffering. things like starving babies highlight the need for change in our collective behavior: something which cannot be forced. it's a sign of the imbalance we are pressing upon ourselves, allowing us to decide whether to keep it up or change our behavior in order to do something about it. so yeah, starving babies could definitely choose to take on such an illuminating responsibility, because without them and the expression of concepts like them we'd never find a reason to choose differently. that's free will for ya. imo at least.
