Right. Like there's a lot of awful things they ask them to do for country, but the killing of other agent's children just because they could potentially know... what, really? That goes against every fundamental, human emotion they have in a way nothing else they're asked to do would. For someone to be okay with their children being killed requires a level of not-okayness in the head that would make it impossible for them to work as spies. Just a complete disconnect from human emotion.
And even if ultimately they did have to be killed for whatever reason, I can't imagine how they would be so okay with it.
