The list of moral subjects in this world is loooong. Are you providing life for all of them? No? How many of them then? How many is enough? Let's negotiate.
I don't think you actually read my arguement, because I specifically state that the premise is that you made a choice that led to an implicit responsibility for THAT PARTICULAR moral subject or entity. This is similar (NOT IDENTICAL OR INTERCHANGABLE - internet trolls everywhere) to adopting a child or even a dog - you made a choice that lead to that subject being dependent upon you and you, in my estimation, have a moral responsibility to adhere to that consquence until such time as you may safely abdicate it to another - eg you can't dump a child on the street because you don't want it anymore - you actually have to take it to the state and relinquish custody. No where do i state that you have a responsibility to ALL subjects or entities! ONLY those that you have made a commiment to either Explicitly or Implicitly
Negotiation over
