This is the real problem if you had the ability to time travel. Should you kill f.e. Hitler as a child, thus (maybe) preventing all the attrocities he's responsible for? Preventing WW2 and all the millions upon millions of dead ? Well, from a moral point of view you might come to an easy conclusion but think of it scientifically. What happenes if all those people don't die ? They would produce offspring that will lead to even more people on this planet. It could lead to a famine that could kill even more people than the war did. Or one off these people being born could be even more evil than Hitler was. It's just one scenario. Who knows, the possibilities resulting in such action are infinite.
