In a radio interview Sunday, Princeton University ethics professor Peter Singer argued it is “reasonable” for government or private insurance companies to deny treatment to severely disabled babies.
Singer contended the health-care system under Obamacare should be more overt about rationing and that the country should acknowledge the necessity of “intentionally ending the lives of severely disabled infants.”
Throughout the interview, Singer repeatedly referred to a disabled infant as “it.”
Singer was speaking on the “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” broadcast on New York’s AM 970 The Answer and Philadelphia’s NewsTalk 990 AM.
The Princeton professor is known for his controversial views on abortion and infanticide. He essentially argues the right to life is related to a being’s capacity for intelligence and to hold life preferences, which in turn is directly related to a capacity to feel and comprehend pain and pleasure.
Klein’s interview with Singer started out on the topic of the professor’s new book about charity, “The Most Good You Can Do: How Effective Altruism Is Changing Ideas About Living Ethically.”
The conversation turned to the issue of terminating disabled infants when Klein asked whether the Singer believes health-care rationing under Obamacare will become more prevalent.
Singer told Klein rationing is already happening, explaining doctors and hospitals routinely make decisions based on costs.

I want to be in the same nursing facility he ends up in just to enjoy the irony.
How about once each year, every Princeton professor must run an unassisted mile in under 20 minutes, or be fired?
[The argument that a fetus is not alive] is a resort to a convenient fiction that turns an evidently living being into one that legally is not alive. Instead of accepting such fictions, we should recognize that the fact that a being is human, and alive, does not in itself tell us whether it is wrong to take that being's life.
I don't want to even be in the same hemisphere as this man. He has no soul.
I got a better idea. Let’s off Peter Singer, as that would definitely increase the net happiness in the world immeasurably. We can outsource the job to the islamics. They seem to have this butchery thing down pretty well.
If we adopt killing on utilitarian grounds, surely we should start with Leftist university professors. They are not only worthless, they are detrimental to the nation.
It would really be a shame if a couple of Jersey yutes played the knock out game with this ass-clown.
be still my heart!
Yes well..who is he to decide whos life has value and who’s does not if hes not willing to take his chances at being on the receiving end of such subjective nonesense!!!?
the man is simply highly expendable human debris in my opinion
Singer has joined the ranks of Josef Mengele long ago. You remember Mengele, he was the one who performed experiments on human beings and sent sick prisoners to gas chambers.
Singer has the pretense of being ethical to distract focus from his dark disdain of human life.
Has anyone at Princeton University come forth to challenge Singer’s outrageous comments? Or, are they jellyfish sucking up whatever hog slop that hits them in the face?
You know, professor, sometimes what makes perfection is imperfection, and just because someone isn’t as you think they should be does not mean that someone isn’t as they were meant to be.
[Obamacare should be more overt about rationing and that the country should acknowledge the necessity of “intentionally ending the lives of severely disabled infants.”]
EVIL
Didn’t even have to look, knew it was Singer.
It is a shame that Princeton has gone so far from it’s Christian Roots.
Geez, is Peter Singer still around? I thought his mother did him in a long time ago
That's because they think that they're their own little gods.
Adolf’s long lost son
Nazi.
Every Democrat running for office should be asked repeatedly about this guy.
Beat me to it - that would certainly solve a lot of our problems with the mush they shove into college students’ heads...
What about throwing them into an HI volcano? Less clean up afterwards.
Excellent idea!
No. USA. They are here now.
