Default Re: Absolute Morals, Sins of Commission vs Omission etc.

What does "the child will be spared" mean? I think this is very crucial, as a very large percent of child deaths in 3rd world countries are directly related to malnutrition. Does pressing the 3rd button mean that the child will be given food aid for the rest of his life? Or only to immediately save his life? How much will this cost to the 1st world government? The economics of large scale aid also need to be considered here, and how it quite often makes a country worse off in the long run. Or are we ignoring this important fact?
