Morgan brings up a very valid point, often-times the child who is donating begins donations from birth. As a very young donor, the child may not fully understand the procedures.

For “The Singer Solution To World Poverty” In the essay “The Singer Solution to World Poverty,” philosopher Peter Singer addresses the issue of poverty by suggesting Americans give away most of their income to aid those in need. Singer believes that withholding income is the equivalence of letting a child starve to death. Therefore, Singer suggests the ethical thing to do to end world hunger is to give up everyday luxuries.

Faulty Thinking in “What Should a Billionaire Give – and What Should You?” Peter Singer's persuasive essay strips us bare of our selfish wants as he equates our tendency to accumulate all the stuff we don’t need with ignoring the plight of drowning children and, as such, being responsible for the death of those children.
