Question 1:
A baby is lying on the ground in the forest. A bear is two meters from the baby. Would you attempt to rescue the baby, by picking it up and taking it away from the bear?

Question 2:
A hamburger is lying on the ground in the forest. A bear is two meters from the hamburger. A man will give you a thousand dollars if you rescue the hamburger, by picking it up and taking it away from the bear. Would you do it?

Question 3:
A man wants you to give him a thousand dollars. He will spend the money to buy mosquito nets. The mosquito nets will protect people so that they are less likely to get malaria. The most likely number of human lives this will save is five. Would you pay?

(I made up the number for malaria saves. But buying nets do save lives cheaply.)

I wouldn't necessarily give the guy a thousand dollars, but I would give him some money.

I don't have a lot of money.

Yeah if all you have is a thousand dollars then saving those five people might cause you to starve to death, which would prevent you from stealing that baby.

Really what you should do is save the hamburger, get the thousand dollars from the guy, give the thousand dollars back to the guy (I assume the guy in these questions is Thorsby because who else would be carrying on in such a way) so that he'll give the Africans their nets, and then take the hamburger back to the bear (same bear) so that while the bear is busy enjoying the hamburger you can save the baby.

you don't have the money or the hamburger at this point though so to survive you'll probably have to eat the baby

I think it is very unlikely I could save the baby without being mauled by the bear

Unless it is like a sun bear, then I would go give it a hug.

Kind of hoping the bear would not see the baby as a threat and so leave it alone. I don't know what bears are motivated by.

what if the baby was being exposed because an old crone foretold that the baby would grow up to kill someone?
