- Assertion
- Singer argues that geographic distance creates no morally relevant distinction between people we can help — the duty to prevent suffering applies equally regardless of whether the person in need is nearby or far away.
- Quote
It makes no moral difference whether the person I can help is a neighbor's child ten yards from me or a Bengali whose name I shall never know, ten thousand miles away.
