SUMMARY:Why you must give most of your money to charity (and how it would 
 save hundreds of lives). - Gregory Lewis

CONTACT:Roeland Verhallen
DESCRIPTION:Giving to charity is generally viewed as supererogatory: altho
 ugh it is a good thing to give\, it is not immoral not to give. This talk 
 will argue that this view is mistaken by the lights of any plausible ethic
 al theory: given that our money could save many lives\, and that most of u
 s can make do on a fraction of our income and still have fairly good lives
 \, we go badly wrong if we fail to give all money above this 'decent minim
 um' to charity. To sugar the pill\, I will delve into a bit of welfare eco
 nomics to show that\, providing one gives to the best charitable causes\, 
 one's lifetime giving will save on the order of hundreds or thousands of l
 ives\, and it may make you happier too.\n
