The Drowning Child

Good, that’s a pleasing response, especially if one takes into account that the idea that we have a greater moral obligation towards those who are local to us - our fellow country people, for example - than to those who are far away is not uncommon (albeit it is hard to justify).

Final Question

Likely you’ll be pleased to hear that you’re virtually at the end now. We just want to ask you one further question, but this time it isn’t specifically to do with the drowning child scenario. Here it is:

Are you morally obliged to make a relatively small donation, perhaps to the value of a new shirt or a night out at a restaurant, to an overseas aid agency such as Oxfam within the next few days (and even if you have previously made such a donation, perhaps even recently)?

Yes, I am morally obliged to make such a donation.
No, I am not morally obliged to make such a donation.

Most charities are either bloated, mismanaged, or scams, so never

peter singer has never realized that charities have operation costs and that not all of your money is actually going to save people (and that it’s surely not gonna save people from drowning)
