Abstract or Introduction

This essay claims that Singer’s argument, "We ought to be preventing as much suffering as we can without sacrificing something else of comparable moral importance", is valid but unsound. It acknowledges his overall purpose to alleviate absolute poverty, and his more recent attempts of rewriting the concept to make his conclusion less demanding and thereby more appealing to a broader audience. Nevertheless, this essay will solely focus on the strong version of his initial argument.
