The central idea of Garrett Hardin's argument using the lifeboat metaphor is that wealthy nations are like lifeboats with limited resources, and they should not take in too many people from overcrowded, resource-poor nations as it will lead to the demise of both the lifeboats and those they take in. Hardin argues for responsible resource management and restrictions on population growth.
The author of "Lifeboat Ethics: The Case Against Helping the Poor," Garrett Hardin, argues that helping the poor can ultimately harm both the rich and poor by depleting finite resources and promoting unsustainable population growth. He believes that a limited sharing of resources is necessary to preserve the well-being of both populations in the long run.
