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.

Cambodia, Rwanda, China during and after the Revolution, these have happened since 1945.
No, the urge for mass murder is alive and well.
This monster just gives it a philosophical justification.
This is evidence that God is only source of ultimate morality.
To paraphrase what Marlowe says, if you think you came from a rock, then there's no reason to have any more morality than a rock.
Peter Singer is an evil worthless Nazi. His `utilitarian' views need to be applied to him, directly and personally.
Truly, God is the only possible source for absolute morals. Everyone else suffers from the "observer problem" because we are part of what we observe. Thank you for your post!

Nor does it seem that there is any reason to struggle more than a rock. These people will self-destruct.
It is a sterile, hopeless philosophy. "For the greater happiness..." Why should an individual holding such beliefs care whether or not another rock would be happier?
You are a blessing, AG.
How can someone with these ideas be called an "ethicist?"
Isn't there a separate word for those who propose evil ethics?
May the Lord fulfill your prophecy.
Bioethicist?
I guess if I just make up a Greco-Roman-derivation-sounding title, I can hang up a shingle and make stupid pronouncements that the other blind men will listen to.

What an angry thanatophile.
He makes Kevorkian look like Santa Claus.

Perhaps the intelligent design debate will bring the issue to a head? After all, the publicly funded education system wants autonomy from the public which funds them. Peter Singer as a "bioethicist" is a case-in-point.

You said that "Good ideas never go away." and seemed to be about the following post.
"Funny... I thought that this type of thought, the idea that "inferior" human life is totally disposable for the greater good, had its last breath in 1944. But it looks like it's running strong in the American Left."
For the purpose of clarification, and clarity of thought, is your statement to show your affirmation that the above is a good idea and will never go away?
Hmmm. I seem to recall a passage in 2 Kings about a "remnant." Sounds remarkably similar...
From the looks of him, I'd say he'll be having an interesting conversation with his maker in a decade or so...
