Would you tell Hitler's mom to have an abortion?

Due to chaos theory if the Holocaust hadn't happened I wouldn't be born. Ignoring  that, the answer would be yes.

I agree with angus. It would be her business. And as was said earlier in the thread, it could possibly lead to something much worse happening.

So if we have the oppurtunity to kill Osama, we should decline, because it could possibly lead to something much worse happening?

You are thinking of "Butterfly Effect" which is acctually the opposite of Chaos Theory.

As much as I hate his guts I'd say no....

He was truly evil but Stalin was far from an angel. Two evil powers fighting each other made them both become weak and allowed the allies to eventually defeat nazism and after the cold war communism.

Also I don't know if I would be born in the new timeline which in theory would create a paradox, because in the new timeline I cannot tell Hitler's mother to abort him.

I'm sure there'd be some way to deal with that situation that would require fewer than 60 million deaths.

No, because, being in at the point at which time is acctually moving forward, we cannot possibly know what the consequences of such an act would be.  We can only progress foward.  With Hitler, we know what the alternatives and possibly pitfalls are.  It is the difference between being in the subway and standing atop the Empire State Building.

I haven't seen any real argument for why things would have been worse without Hitler.
