Personal Response/ The Singer Solution to World Poverty

This article really opened my eyes to how I choose to spend my money and that I should be using it to save others instead of luxuries like video games. THIS ARTICLE IS NUTS!

I think that this article is sending a huge message to its readers that there is almost no difference between selling a kid in Brazil to organ peddlers for money, and spending money on useless luxuries such as a big plasma TV. Instead the person spending the money on luxuries could donate the money to prevent children in Brazil from dying. I think that it is both people are at fault. The people with a good income usually have extra money leftover as said in the article. They don't have to spend that money on useless luxuries, instead with that money they could save the life of someone which should of course be more important. If that person donates the money than Dora would have more money and wouldn't have to think twice in the situation she was put in. Same with Bob. If he had the money to secure his financial needs for retierment, he would have flipped the switch and sacrificed his car to save the boy. I think it is up to us ultimately to choose how we spend our money but I think this article definately has changed my perspective on why I should donate money.
