The only situation where I would like to save a kid in Bangladesh from dying is if it somehow led to people having less kids in Bangladesh. Which isn't a very straightforward implication.
I kinda see utilitarianism as a step on the horrifying path to human eusociality.
Have these people not learned yet that when you save a poor child they will just make fourteen other poor children in short time? Maybe the best form of charity is lobbying for over-regulation of child-rearing goods to the point of near unaffordability, as is currently happening in developed countries.
These people seem oversocialized.
