Wait - why do you suppose that refugee child is standing in the middle of the railroad tracks? Maybe, just like Singer, the little guy came to the conclusion that a person should always try to live as ethically as possible? And because he doesn't have even a little bit of money to affect any real change, maybe he's decided that the most altruistic thing to do is kill himself, so others will have a better quality of life due to them no longer having to pine over stuff like what cars NOT to buy.
The right thing to do, I think, would be to save the car and not the child; then one could sell the car and donate the money to UNICEF so that even more children could be saved.

That's a nice thought. Still, this is called a thought experiment, it's symbolic for the choices we make in everyday life...;)
