That leaves us as the only adults in the room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-10\" data-start=\"1718\" data-end=\"1985\">She added:\u201cRegardless of the difficulties we face, we must keep trying\u2014because the moment we stop is the moment we lose our humanity.

These are the questions we must ask.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-15\" data-start=\"2750\" data-end=\"3013\">She continued:\u201cSome ask us why we do this\u2014calling it a suicide mission.
