I think it is the context in which the question is posed. It is slanted from the start - shall we feed kids so they can suffer longer. It sort of implies that euthanasia for the starving is a valid option and we would be doing them a favour. I just don't subscribe to that point of view. I sponsor a child in Africa and I am not rich. This covers their education mainly. If everyone on the board did it, then slowly Africa would educate itself out of its current strife. And if it doesn't, well then I made a difference to one kid's life. It is so easy to pose a question such as Wheelma did, whilst having a stocked fridge. You, me and Weheelma are very lucky to have been born where we were. I also think that we have no fundamental rights over and above those starving. We were just born in different circumstances. So for a person to decide (albeit hypothetically on a music bbs) that we should let people starve to death, to me, is sooooo wrong.
But that is me! Cheers! Wilko
