We are massively overpopulated. As long as they aren't my family, the 1000 can die. Yeah, I am selfish; so what?

Oh dood, I've taken active participation in people dying. Nothing disturbs my sleep but my P&L. Come back and talk to me when your direct actions stop a heart.

I think of Cardinal Newman's famous dictum to the effect that it has always been the Church's position that it would be better for the entire population of the world to die in agony than for one individual to commit the least venial sin.

That may be a bit extreme, but I would not take the sin of wilful murder on my head.

+1, but without all the Catholic gobbledy-gook.

The cost of one pair of Edward Greens can probably save the lives of 1000 people in Africa, yet I don't see you shipping the $1400 (or whatever EGs cost) to Africa for food and medicine.


I sense the Strength of Odoreater in being able to reject the grammar of the quesiton.

Perhaps we can coordinate a group buy of EG for a village in Bangladesh. If enough villagers wear EG, I sense a good blog entry for someone. Maybe some sponsorship.
