"The question is not, 'Can they reason?' nor, 'Can they talk?' but 'Can they suffer?'"
"We have a moral obligation to help those in need." "The life you can save is a call to action." "Effective altruism is about using your resources to do the most good." "If we can prevent something bad from happening, without thereby sacrificing anything of comparable significance, we ought to do it." |
