Answer:

The main point the author makes in "Lifeboat Ethics: The Case

Against Helping the Poor" is, unrestricted foreign aid to poorer nations will eventually lead

to everyone's downfall.

Answer: Option C.

Explanation:

‘Lifeboat Ethics: The Case

Against Helping the Poor’ is a metaphor which was put forward by Garrett Hardin and which discuses resource distribution. Hardin states that helping the poor countries will eventually lead to a downfall. He believes that if the government of America will keep providing foreign aid to starving countries then soon it will drown. Foreign aid leads to a pattern of poor resource management. Hardin sees no point in helping the other countries, instead he feels that his own countrymen should be helped.
