The Moral Obligation Of An Affluent Lifestyle Without Saving Life
1364 Words6 Pages
We are now going to unravel Singer’s arguments for our moral obligation to give to others. He first compares allowing the absolute poverty to suffer to what some suggest is the equivalence to murder. An example given in the passage is a person who lives an affluent lifestyle that does not contribute to the poor might as well shoot some ‘peasants’ in India because the actions are equivalent. Singer would argue that this verdict is too harsh and evidently this big question of moral obligation should be taking a new approach. But first let exam why living an affluent lifestyle without saving life is not equal to intentional murder. I think that these five points made by Singer provide grounds for dismal of Zell claiming we are murders for not donating a kidney. The first point he makes exams the motivation behind murder. A murderer typically is sadistic with intentions of causing harm onto another being. Zell’s wife (who did not approve of his kidney donation) is what Singer would define as selfish if anything, but not comparable to a murderer. Second, the avoidance of killing asks less of us than making change to our standard lifestyle. Since there is a law in place for murder it is easier to avoid. However, giving the money that we live comfortably on to save others is necessary to do, but we do not have to give money away to kill someone. This makes a considerable difference in which these two actions morally weigh out. Third, when shooting someone death or injury is
This paper explores Peter Singer’s argument, in Famine, Affluence, and Morality, that we have morally required obligations to those in need. The explanation of his argument and conclusion, if accepted, would dictate changes to our lifestyle as well as our conceptions of duty and charity, and would be particularly demanding of the affluent. In response to the central case presented by Singer, John Kekes offers his version, which he labels the and points out some objections. Revisions of the principle
The Limit of our Moral Duty in regards to Famine Relief
In the article “Famine, Affluence, and Morality,” Peter Singer argues that our conceptions on moral belief need to change. Specifically, he argues that giving to famine relief is not optional but a moral duty and failing to contribute money is immoral. As Singer puts it, “The way people in affluent countries react ... cannot be justified; indeed the whole way we look at moral issues-our moral conceptual scheme-needs to be altered and with it
“Famine, Affluence, and Morality”
In “Famine, Affluence, and Morality,” Peter Singer is trying to argue that “the way people in relatively affluent countries react to a situation… cannot be justified; indeed,… our moral conceptual scheme needs to be altered and with it, the way of life that has come to be taken for granted in our society”(Singer 230). Peter Singer provides striking examples to show the reader how realistic his arguments are. In this paper, I will briefly give a summary of
