PRINCETON, December 2, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Infamous advocate of infanticide and the man often credited as the founder of the modern radical animal rights movement, Dr. Peter Singer, was featured in the National Post this week predicting that the traditional ethics of western civilization would shortly be abolished. Singer?s comments appeared first in the September/October edition of the journal Foreign Policy as a speculation on what cherished social institutions would still exist in 35 years.
Singer, a strict utilitarian and the man the New York Times called the ?greatest living philosopher,? says, ?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.?
The title, ?The Sanctity of Life,? can only be meant as ironic coming from a man who has made his fame advocating abortion through all nine months of pregnancy, infanticide up to thirty days after birth and euthanasia for the elderly and infirm.
Singer?s predictions, shocking as they may appear, are well on the way to fruition, however. With the advance of utilitarian philosophy at both ends of human life, first with abortion, then with cloning, IVF, and growing rates of infanticide, and then with the acceptance of euthanasia, Singer has merely given an approving nod to what is verifiably happening all over the world.
He predicts bluntly, ?During the next 35 years, the traditional view of the sanctity of human life will collapse under pressure from scientific, technological, and demographic developments.?
What Singer refuses to acknowledge is that there is no unavoidable necessity for this collapse. In fact most of it is being forced on nations by activist judges, undemocratic government and other organization actions and ruthless elites, who have constantly distorted facts to suit their agendas.
Technology has been developing since the emergence of organized human culture. In all that time, however, it is not until our own epoch that the suicidal anti-human philosophy has been so broadly accepted. In no other time before the modern age, has it been seriously proposed that the development of technology must necessarily supercede the inherent value of human life.
Ironically, as the implementation of Singer?s philosophical imperatives of drastic population reduction, mass euthanasia programmes, abortion and infanticide advance, the logical outcome will be that only those ?know-nothing religious fundamentalists? he excoriates will survive the anti-human pogroms.

I am absolutely disgusted by this, but it is necessary to ping.

If Hitler were alive today, sayig the same things he wrote in Mein Kampf, he'd be an honored professor at an Ivy League university.
By 2040, this mutt Dr. Peter Singer will be roasting in Hell.
"When the traditional ethic of the sanctity of human life is proven indefensible at both the beginning and end of life, a new ethic will replace it. It will recognize that the concept of a person is distinct from that of a member of the species Homo sapiens, and that it is personhood, not species membership, that is most significant in determining when it is wrong to end a life. We will understand that even if the life of a human organism begins at conception, the life of a person—that is, at a minimum, a being with some level of self-awareness—does not begin so early. And we will respect the right of autonomous, competent people to choose when to live and when to die." - Peter Singer
He is also an advocate for human/animal sex.
I did not make the previous stuff up.
Peter Singer also says it's okay to have sex with animals, and to oppose it is practicing "speciesism"
In 1940, I will be 77 years old. I sure hope there are a lot of know-nothing religious fundamentalists around when I am that old so nobody pulls the plug on me.
By the way, have y'all sent in your pledge cards for next year yet?
Why doesn't he lead by example and off himself first?

That clinches it without having to read any further: he's nuts.
WOW!!!! So you're what 142 now, what's your secret? ={)
Can you fix the link please?
The old secularization thesis. Somehow I doubt the world will grow more and more like the campus of Princeton University. Considering the general aversion of secularists to having babies, it'll likely look more like Mecca or the streets of Mexico City on December 12.
Or maybe Singer and his fellow travelers will just clone themselves seven hundred thousand times. There's a happy thought.
"In 1940 I will be 77 years old"......you are 142 years old now........tell us your secret!
