The sanctity of life
By Peter Singer
During the next 35 years, the traditional view of the sanctity of human life will collapse under pressure from scientific, technological and demographic developments. By 2040, it may be that only a rump of hard-core, know-nothing religious fundamentalists will defend the view that every human life, from conception to death, is sacrosanct.

ZOT bait, dude. Prepare for "Apocalypse Meow."
[formed enough that it would be barbaric to kill them after that,}
And there are Germans who would say that the pro-life crowd in the USA is actually prolonging the slaughter of the more developed fetuses in their hopeless battle to stop all abortions from the moment of conception on. In the USA, there is an 'all-or-nothing' atmosphere that has the liberals insanely demanding that abortion needs to be allowed right up to the moment of birth.
It's not the pro-lifers who are causing the liberals' attitudes. The pro-abortion folks do not want ANY restrictions; even common sense ones like parental notification. They are so afraid of the 'camel's nose under the tent', they just can't see reason. They got this ' contitutional right' by subterfuge and lies, and they will do anything to keep it from being taken away.
And in the midst of his torment, every word he ever uttered in support and furtherance of that which God has declared an abomination will pound in his ears, and he will see the face of every single child whose slaughter he had a hand in, again and again and again, for all eternity.
And no one in God's universe can or will do anything to help him.
As soon as I saw Peter Singer's name, I knew that this entire article is pure delusional BS without even reading it.
They said the same manure by 2000, by 1990, by 1970 etc etc etc.
I think the one thing the will be extinct by 2040 will be the liberal arts degree departments. (the more PC areas of study) They will just be dead as the traning camps for USSR political officers.
10. Sanctity of Life
9. Political Parties
8. Monogamy
7. Religious hierarchy
6. The Chinese Communist Party
5. Doctors' offices
4. The King of England
3. The war on drugs
2. Laissez-faire procreation
And the #1 idea on the way out by 2040:
Sovereignty!
And I was afraid "Zionism" would be on that list! But it will probably be long gone before 2040.
Brilliant of you, as well, to attack babies under one year old, who are engrained in our culture as the cutest, most lovable, and most needy of our protection. Get rid of our scruples against killing those little ones, and the job is done. It will be simple after that to kill anyone who gets in the way of the brave new world.
What a tower of babble.
They have already been surprised how demographic changes have not favored liberal point of view.
Liberals and their constituencies have aborted a lot of Democrat babies; they have elected not to have many if any children and not to hold marriages together beyond the first child; they have encouraged the immigration of Latinos, who initially registered Democrat, but on the long haul may feel more pull toward family values, Catholic religion, and setting up their own businesses.
And the children of the Parentless Generation may come to resent that they barely escaped being aborted by their self-consumed "parents".
Yup, you may win your bets. Doubt I'll be here to see it, but can pray for it no matter where I am.
The one about the King of England, I'll go along with.
Peter Singer should know. He's doing everything he can to obliterate the sanctity of life. He's got a chair at Princeton, that deluded institution, called the "Chair of Ethics." What a sad joke that is. He advocates that, if parents find they have a child who is imperfect in any way, they should be allowed to kill it any time within the first year of life (that is, post-birth). Ironically, Singer is a big animal rights person. He gets all bent out of shape about someone taking a calf from the mother for veal, but he thinks nothing of a human being killing a baby in its ninth month of gestation.
I can't think of a more despicable human being -- right up there with Osama.
I would be willing to bet that NONE of their predictions
turn out the way they think.
Yeh, predictions are like assholes, everybody's got one.
"Princeton University gave him a distinguished chair. That doesn't say much for Princeton."
Actually, I think that says quite a lot about Princeton.
Clearly Mr. Singer is having delusional thoughts.
Therefore, it's time to destroy him isn't it?
Can we take a vote?
So by your reasoning we should elect murderers and abortionists to public office (no difference in my opinion).
Go back to DU
Ok- here's the BEST part...after going on and on about how the religious nuts will be the only ones left who think life from conception to death is sacred...blah..blah..you come to this blurb at the end of the article:
"Peter Singer is a professor at Princeton University and the University of Melbourne, and a well-known animal rights activist."
ANIMAL RIGHTS!! You can't make this up!
Meanwhile..this fellow would not "get" the irony..
Singer--one of the classic intellectual morons imbued with a heavy dose of Communism and animal rights mixed together into one horrendous human being. Reading his tripe will damage your eyes and believing him will ruin your brain.
I agree.
