No, it's not wiser. The charities to which I give have a clear and immediate need of funds to protect children from malaria and worms. It does not help those children if I wait 40 years before giving anything.

There's risks involved, of course. But the risks are minuscule compared to the risk unfairly borne by others because they do not have the privilege of sophisticated healthcare systems, food, and clean drinking water.
I'm in my twenties and make more money than 99% of my fellow citizens. If I can not find a way to help children literally at severe risk of death before 5 years of age, who can?
