The ethics of how we spend our money

Hi,

If you read the recent post on whether you should buy Truck Antlers or spend your money to sponsor a child through Save the Children, you might be interested in seeing this video where bioethicist Peter Singer talks about the ethics of how we spend our money. Singer says few of us would ignore a child drowning in a pond, even if it meant ruining our expensive shoes. But he points out that giving what we spent on those shoes to an organization that helps children in need could actually save more than one life.

Please take a look!
