There are those who argue that giving aid is nothing more than charity and should not be imposed as a duty. They argue that there is a moral code that is easy for an ordinary man to follow, a moral code that allows some actions to be morally incorrect to perform and that the actions are the right thing to do. An example used in the text is that if a person is told that he should refrain from killing and give all the money he doesn't really need, then the person won't do it either. Since both actions are equally wrong, people would be inclined to do both. Furthermore, there are those who believe that aid is a duty entrusted to the government, the belief being that if more private charities actively fought the famine, the government would be relieved of the duty. Singer explains that he believes this is unlikely to happen, but we as individuals should do everything we can. Leaving the responsibility up to the government would relieve us of all responsibility, leaving us to do nothing. Furthermore, there are those who believe that providing aid is not a real solution to the problem. Providing famine relief would only be a temporary solution, a real solution would be to control the population. Singer does not object to this argument. If the issue is population control, find a way to support the cause and provide whatever help you can. According to Singer, one should provide help to the best of one's ability, rather than do nothing
