>Are you suggesting donors to make-a-wish actually value making one dying kid (and his support network) happy more than saving the lives of several?

Yes.

>I doubt that's usually the case because if you consider it for a moment is seems so unfair and cruel.

Hmm? What about all the discretionary money you spend on dates, living in a nicer than necessary apartment, money spent on hobbies, etc? Do you value those things more than the lives of African children who will die if you don't donate your discretionary spending? Well of course you do because you do one and not the other.

>No, it's probably something else that motivates their decision...

And what would that be?
