> Which is a better use of 50k? To give one adult one extra year, or the same money to reduce child mortality for a hundred strangers in a different country? Better for whom? Morals are always subjective to your point of view. While points of view of different people sometimes, and even quite often, align with each other enough so that we can talk about shared morals between them, they don't necessary do this all the time. Especially in a scenario of allocation of limited resources. In the end the only thing that really matters, though, is the point of view of the person who owns these 50k, and nobody else's.
