Would you hold a stranger's baby?

As I boarded my flight there was a woman holding a young infant and simultaneously attempting to collapse the child's stroller for a crew member who idly stood by waiting to accept it. A lady in front of me kindly asked the woman if she needed her baby to be held before kindly obliging. It made me wonder if I'd have been aware and selfless enough to offer the same or would I have walked past the woman as the majority of passengers did. Is fear of litigious retribution a deterring factor when deciding whether or not to simply be a Good Samaritan?
