Funny that Mr. Singer feels qualified to make that statement being that he is not a homo sapiens but a member of the Spirogyra family.

This is utilitarian ethics. He has taken this sort of stance for some time now. You don’t necessarily have a right to life unless meet certain criteria some of which can be met by the higher species of animals. He is consistent in his arguments but is consistently wrong.

Mr. Singer does not realize that he is going to die - not once, but twice.

So, with this godless thinking about human beings, Singer would be on board with Johnathan Swift's A Modest Proposal. Just eat it. That's the ticket!

"Even as one of the most famous professional philosophers in the world, Singer’s ideas continue to shock pro-life people with his forthright defense of infanticide, the wholesale killing of people with dementia, the sexual use of animals, (whom he maintains are capable of “consent”), and the use of the cognitively disabled for medical experiments. "


What makes this idiot any less EVIL than the bastard who had the 2.3 million price on his head?

Mr Singer’s views make a lot of people unhappy. Therefore, we should remove him and his ideas from this planet in order to increase happiness. What a truly evil person.

is perhaps the most acclaimed and respected ethical philosopher alive,
#2toasted by liberal academic and political elites around the world.

Singer's philosophy is revolting and evil. I will say one thing for him, though - he is the only prominent pro-abortion leader who will admit the logical conclusion of their position, that killing the unborn is morally and medically the same as killing a person after birth.

If more pro-aborts would quit lying to themselves and admit this, people would overwhelmingly be pro-life. Very few would subscribe to his extreme utilitarian philosophy.

Then, Mr. Singer, I assume that it is OK if we kill you!

Mr. Singer is a Nazi and/or attention whore.

I wouldn’t give him another second’s notice, except, as others have pointed out, he’s the inevitable end point of every leftist dogma, regime, and logical argument.

The leftists think their goal is like the Star Trek universe, when it always ends up being the 7th level of Hell.

” perhaps the most acclaimed and respected ethical philosopher alive,”


By some perhaps, but not by me!

Statements about not having the ‘right’ to life are completely contrary to the U.S. Bill of Rights. And it makes me think that he is not thinking very clearly at all. Because if his statement is true, then he himself can qualify for a post natal abortion albeit many years later than what he was thinking.

People who think like Singer are devoid of emotions, sympathy, or compassion and lack the ability to appreciate their emotional surroundings, so they should be aborted.

This is also the guy who said it should be legal for people to have sex with animals, as long as the animals are consenting.

I beleive he also believes children have a right to have sex with adults. This guy is one sicko as well a a sociopath.

 Sociopathy is chiefly characterized by something wrong with the person’s conscience. They either don’t have one, it’s full of holes like Swiss cheese, or they are somehow able to completely neutralize or negate any sense of conscience or future time perspective. Sociopaths only care about fulfilling their own needs and desires - selfishness and egocentricity to the extreme. Everything and everybody else is mentally twisted around in their minds as objects to be used in fulfilling their own needs and desires. They often believe they are doing something good for society, or at least nothing that bad. The term “sociopath” is frequently used by psychologists and sociologists alike in referring to persons whose unsocialized character is due primarily to parental failures (usually fatherlessness) rather than an inherent feature of temperament.  Lykken (1995), for example, clearly distinguishes between the sociopath (who is socialized into becoming a psychopath) and a “true” psychopath (who is born that way).

“Membership of the species Homo sapiens is not enough to confer a right to life.”

OK, who volunteers to test his theory by threatening to kill this bastard, bring him to his knees and make him pee pee in his pants?

But philosophy is the foundation of our societies, how we decide what is and is not worth doing as individuals and as a civilization, what is and is not morally acceptable.

IMO psychology is the battering ram constantly weakening those foundations as it hammers relentlessly against them.

The Germans may have been on the losing side in World War II ... but here we are 65+ years later, and it becomes more apparent by the day that the Nazis won.
