How old is the learned professor?

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.

Nazi Germany.
A more efficient solution: round up all the lefty lib professors and dump them in the Grand Canyon.
Start with the ones that grew to adulthood and became professors at Princeton.
I insist we remove all forms of life support from IT,,,aka Peter SlInger at the earliest possible opportunity!
Ethics professor?
Singer again. They keep sticking a microphone in that idiot’s face for statements such as this. The good Professor is 68 and well on his way to a tidy euthanasia himself when it becomes convenient for the state. He won’t see anything wrong with that; the problem is that he doesn’t see anything wrong with that for anyone else either.
Pure evil.
Grand Canyon isn’t big enough. ;-)
How old is the learned professor?
Maybe.. just maybe... someone will “Tiller” this evil bastard.
What a piece of work this guy is.He pretty much is what’s wrong with society;no fear of God whatever.
Perhaps a little catch up is in order ... I would say that Singer is severely morally disabled, probably since birth, and should be killed immediately to show that he really means it.
That’s disgusting...they could climb out.
The very instant Professor Singer dies, he will know that he was wrong. And he will spend eternity knowing he was wrong.
The REAL reason people first went on and on about Palin.
“A more efficient solution: round up all the lefty lib professors and dump them in the Grand Canyon.”
Placement is key, though. I’m thinking upstream of the Hoover Dam because presumably it can filter out carrion.
Peter Albert David Singer, AC (born 6 July 1946) is an Australian moral philosopher. He is currently the Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University, and a Laureate Professor at the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics at the University of Melbourne. He specializes in applied ethics and approaches ethical issues from a secular, utilitarian perspective.
He is known in particular for his book, Animal Liberation (1975), a canonical text in animal rights/liberation theory. For most of his career, he supported preference utilitarianism, but in his later years became a classical or hedonistic utilitarian, when co-authoring The Point of View of the Universe with Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek.
On two occasions Singer served as chair of the philosophy department at Monash University, where he founded its Centre for Human Bioethics.
In 1996 he stood unsuccessfully as a Greens candidate for the Australian Senate. In 2004 he was recognized as the Australian Humanist of the Year by the Council of Australian Humanist Societies, and in June 2012 was named a Companion of the Order of Australia for his services to philosophy and bioethics.
He serves on the Advisory Board of Incentives for Global Health, the NGO formed to develop the Health Impact Fund proposal. He was voted one of Australia's ten most influential public intellectuals in 2006.
Singer currently serves on the advisory board of Academics Stand Against Poverty (ASAP).
Sanger/Singer, Hitler, same thing.
