a fully grown sapient human with experience and valuable expertise who is otherwise ready and able to immediately benefit their community, if “left to their own devices” naked on the surface of the moon, will also die in moments.

similarly, a neonate can survive with the aid of equipment without burdening a single exclusive host.
