First off, I don’t like your suggestion for smaller currencies. If you want to deal with fractions of a life, just use life-years, life-days, etc.
Second, you spent ten dead children on a vacation? Keeping it in the back of your head doesn’t matter. What matters is the people who are still alive. A group of people that’s ten smaller, thanks to your decision.
There are much more worthwhile things to do than accuse someone who is making a reasonable and rational effort to better the world and help others do so as well of being insufficiently self-sacrificial.
A group of people that’s also likely hundreds of people larger by his direct decisions, and probably thousands or tens of thousands of people larger by the decisions he influenced.
