    You could video the dying child and still bring a doctor with you. You can save the individual animals you come across while still filming them first. It’s not XOR.

      if you save the child people will discredit your story. it’s not a story of a child dying if the child doesn’t die. you can’t capture what is happening if you stop it from happening.

        ‘This child would have died if I didn’t stop it, and there are many other children I was unable to save’ seems like a perfectly good story to me.

          and you are more reasonable than many. many others would deny that people are dying if you can’t show them people that have died.
