After she had taken the child to the family she was told he was too old and now will be killed for organ transplants. Dora then decided to take the boy back and give back the money.

One day Bob finds himself in a situation where he could save the life of a boy who was in the way of train tracks, but in order to do that he would have to sacrifice his car.
Singer creates two hypothetical situations to support his argument and to get the reader to ask themselves, "Should I do this or not?". I disagree with Peter Singer’s claim that all unnecessary luxuries should be sacrificed for the children in need overseas because most Americans really don’t have the money to give, if we stop buying the unnecessary items then that leaves people without jobs, and Singer demands we give to the needy but never says whether he does or not. The first reason Singer is incorrect is that he believes this radical theory that Americans should redirect all unnecessary income to organizations aiding victims of poverty. But yet I doubt he stops to think if Americans truly do or don’t have the money to give. When Singer states, "again, the formula is simple: whatever money you're spending on luxuries, not necessities, should be given away" (Singer) it’s like he believes Americans actually care.
However, Mr. Singer shares that he believes that actions should be judged by consequences, and the consequence of both actions is the death of a child. Mr. Singer continues his argument by paraphrasing and example from the works of Peter Unger. In the story, a man named Bob who is close to retirement puts his most of his savings into a rare car which he has not insured. One day Bob is out for a drive and parks his rare car at the end of a railway siding, which later puts him in the position to have to choose between allowing a child to be hit by a train, or throwing the switch and diverting the train which would destroy his rare car. He chooses to save allow the child to die and enjoys the security of owning the car for many years.

When the boy woke to see his mother, he decided to leave even though he had the choice of staying. The author confirms that the boy decided to leave on his
Bob is faced with a choice, throw a switch and divert the train right into his car, losing his investment, or let the train go resulting in the death of the child. Bob lets the train go. Singer argues that Bob’s conduct is wrong, for the greatest happiness he should have thrown the switch and saved the boy. He then reminds us that we too have the opportunity to save the lives of children, but like Bob, we do not. Children across the world are dying from hunger, dehydration,
