    You could save way more than 1 life with $100M. Malaria nets save on average one life for every $3k donated. Child deworming doesn’t save a life per se, but you can stop a child from being permanently disabled for ~$500.

        Ok, then you are sacrificing number of people to save one person. Think of what happens in wars: people don’t even flinch at sacrificing someone
