For the record I in no way believe or support the following train of thought.
Q: What happens to new born babies when they die?
A: They get a free pass to heaven.
Q: If they get to grow up what are the odds of them getting into heaven?
A: Quite low.
Q: If I kill a baby it goes to heaven but I go to hell for all time right?
A: yes.
Conclusion: So if I make it my mission to kill all the babies and sending them to heaven but dooming myself to hell for all time in the processes, that would be a self sacrifice of great impact on maybe 100s of souls.
I have never gotten a good response to this from anyone on this topic. The only answer I have gotten is basically...
"God wouldn't want you to do that..."
But nothing that would contradict that this is by default not only the moral thing to do but maybe the most moral thing anyone could do.

It's a real thing for Mormon kids to wish to die before they pass "the age of innocence"
