Princeton Professor Singer: And I repeat, I would kill Disabled Infants
LifeSiteNews | 9/12/06 | John-Henry Westen

PRINCETON, September 12, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In a question and answer article published in the UK's Independent today, controversial Princeton University Professor Peter Singer repeats his notorious stand on the killing of disabled newborns.  Asked, "Would you kill a disabled baby?", Singer responded, "Yes, if that was in the best interests of the baby and of the family as a whole."

People who oppose Singer's position have maintained that Singer is the logical extension of the culture of death and that society will eventually embrace his stance if there is no shift to the culture of life.  Alex Scadenberg, Executive Director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition commented to LifeSiteNews.com about Singer saying, "at least he's consistent."  In fact, Singer himself uses the abortion debate to justify his murderous stance. 

"Many people find this shocking," continued Singer, "yet they support a woman's right to have an abortion."  Concluding his point, Singer said, "One point on which I agree with opponents of abortion is that, from the point of view of ethics rather than the law, there is no sharp distinction between the foetus and the newborn baby."

Singer's position, similar to the culture of death, is that there is no inherent dignity in man, there is no sanctity of human life.  Man deserves no special treatment since, Singer rejects that man was created in the image and likeness of God. 

Asked about the choice between killing 10 cows or a human, Singer said he would kill the cows, but not because they were of less value, but because humans would mourn the death more.  "I've written that it is much worse to kill a being who is aware of having a past and a future, and who plans for the future. Normal humans have such plans, but I don't think cows do. And normal humans have family and friends who will grieve their death in ways more vivid and longer-lasting than the way cows may care about other cows. (Although a cow certainly misses her calf for a long time, if the calf is taken from her. That's why there is a major ethical problem with dairy products.) If I really had to make such a decision, I'd kill the cows."

Schadenberg commented saying, "Once again Singer is making distinctions between human beings he would consider normal and those he would consider not normal, thus he is deciding who is a person and who is not.  Non-persons are allowed to be killed."  The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition leader concluded, "even though Singer does not like to be compared to the Nazi's especially since his parents died in the Holocaust, his philosophical position is identical to what the Nazi's proposed.  The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition is primarily concerned for the lives of people with disabilities and other vulnerable persons."

It's totally absurd that an American institution of "higher learning" allows a psychopath advocating genocide to pretend to be a university professor and scholar. It demonstrates just how decadent Ivy League universities have become and the sickness of organized secular humanism.

Excuse me, professor, I do not quite understand your logic:

>> (Although a cow certainly misses her calf for a long time, if the calf is taken from her. That's why there is a major ethical problem with dairy products.)

Taking a calf from a cow may pose a "major ethical problem" for veal scallopini, but it wouldn't seem to have much to do with milk and cheese. Despite cow mama's sorrows, -- which Princeton professors take more to heart than farmers, -- the cow keeps giving milk. Or heck, we can milk sheep and goats and never have to provide our cows with grief counselors.

And then there's probably no real ethical distinction between a new born and a toddler, a toddler and a preschooler, etc...

Inductive reasoning is a dangerous tool when it takes old in a deranged and evil mind.

Next will be a "60th trimester post-term abortion" of rebellious teenagers.

C'mon, now, let's be reasonable, any parent of teenagers will tell you, that's when they really deserve to be aborted.

But that's also when teenagers think that their parents should be aborted. And based on the culture of death's mentality, the parents are older and closer to the "worthless eater without a life worth living" stage, so the kids should get to kill their parents.

Hey, tough sh!t. You're older, your body is deteriorating and someday you will be a burden to your children, you eat and use up natural resources -- I mean good God, trees are being cut down just to keep you alive. It makes far more sense for them to dispose of you now when they can't stand you than in a couple decades when they have an emotional attachment to you.

Would you please tell them that they have an emotional attachment to me? They never write. They never call.

I said "in a couple of decades." I was almost 30 before I had any real understanding of what I was convinced were the bizarre and unfair policies of my parents.

Atleast he is honest about this. When I read this article it reminded me of the conversation I had with a democrat running for Idaho state legislator last night. She was as callous about killing an unborn child as anyone could be.

She was more concerned about how evil us prolifers are for "judging".

All people who want abortion to be legal are as sick as this Singer. They just express it differently.
