Fatalities in any country are fatalities for humanity.


 * I wouldn't say that; an asteroid hitting and annihilating Haiti, Afghanistan, Somalia, etc. wouldn't exactly have the same negative effect that it would if it hit England, Japan, America, etc. Not to say their lives don't matter, just that their loss wouldn't have a tangibly horrible effect on the future of our species.

People in Haiti do not use substantial amounts of resources, making their deaths pretty much devoid of any benefit to humanity.


 * Then again, it's not like it's a hub of intercontinental importance, either. Their loss would have minimal effect regardless.
