Which of the Following Would Most Count as an Objection

Question 733

Multiple Choice

Which of the following would most count as an objection to Woollard's argument that proximity is a morally relevant factor when determining our obligations to aid?


A) Since saving a child drowning in the river is morally different from putting money in an envelope to donate to UNICEF, proximity is not a morally relevant factor when determining our duties to prevent suffering.
B) People far away are still humans with the same equal moral worth as every other human and deserve the same treatment as people close to us.
C) The fact that our world is so interconnected and most people in affluent countries are able to prevent poverty-related deaths by donating to charities entails there is a close connection between affluent agents and victims, making proximity irrelevant in our current situation.
D) People's bodies do not belong to them because bodies are not pieces of property that can be alienated or separated from a person.
