No, really. I can only imagine how awful it would be for Kate and Jack to pretend to be his parents when they knew Claire was still alive. Thinking back on those Oceanic 6 scenes, I think they were played very well. Parenting focuses your priorities so sharply, and the empathy they'd feel for Claire missing it would be immense.

That's actually not what I was asking. There was the psychic who was hellbent on Claire not giving up Aaron. That was imperative that it be Claire who raise Aaron, and not an other (to be interpreted much earlier as The Others).

The Jack/Kate pretending to be his parents is something completely different.
