Multiple Choice
Which of the following would count as an objection to Singer's argument that we should prevent bad from happening if it is within our power to do so and we do not have to sacrifice anything of comparable moral importance?
A) There is no morally relevant distinction between people suffering far away and people suffering close by, since all persons, no matter their location, have equal moral worth.
B) People are not obligated to prevent bad from happening since oftentimes it is not within their sole power to do so, and instead they must rely on the resources of private organizations or governments to be able to prevent suffering.
C) People are not constantly obligated to prevent bad from happening just because they are able to do so, because otherwise people would not be able to live morally valuable lives and instead their life projects would be held hostage to the existence of other people's suffering.
D) With how interconnected the world is, most people living in affluent countries have the power to prevent something bad from happening far away and do not need to sacrifice anything of comparable moral importance to do so.
