I personally am not suffering from typical mind fallacy, because this doesn't keep me from buying things and I have yet to donate a single cent to charity my entire life (in my defense, I'm currently a college student and all my savings are a few thousand dollars that I earned on a paper route, but still). Just wanted to mention from that fact that I still support this proposal, because even a tiny portion of income put towards this by the average person would save countless lives- and also reduce the moral burden of this on people like myself, who are aware of it anyway, because once you save all the easy-to-save lives that laptop isn't equal to a full dead child anymore.
