The question is, crudely, 'Why don't we take care of poor/sick/homeless strangers with the same love and hope as we would our own blood-kin?' phrased in more vague terms really. So kind of. How are altruism and responsibility related? (Pardon me if I seem stubborn, there's a particular point I'm trying to nail down for myself, philosophically.)
