For the purposes of this debate, saving the life of a child via charity costs approximately 1000$. A “Dead Children Currency” is the cost of an item, translated into the number of children that could be saved from death using that amount of money. Thus, a brand new sedan might cost about 28 dead children, a meal at a nice restaurant might cost about 2 dead child cents, and a 320,000$ luxury doghouse costs about 320 dead children.
