Topher - I’m in a debate about literally everything with an atheist I’ve known since high school. Do you know of any other professors or academics out there that are preaching the same infanticide stuff as Peter Singer.
My old schoolmate had never heard of Singer. I wonder if there are any others out there or if Singer is the lone voice. He is an evil man.
Thanks. This person is obviously in favor of “reproductive rights,” and keeps trying to throw me hypothetical situations (really stupid ones) like, “If you were in a fertility clinic that was burning down and there was only one way out and a rickety ladder and you could only carry one thing, would you carry the six month old infant that is crying or the big crate of 10,000 frozen embryos?” In other words, would I save 10,000 lives or one?
I wouldn’t take the bait. I told him that hypothetical situations are stupid and that I would never be in a fertility clinic, much less one that is burning. Not to mention the utter absurdity of an infant being in a fertility clinic.
I then asked him if his house was burning (he has only one child) and he had two children and could only save one; one was a troubled child who caused him much anguish and the other was the straight A kid who was just like him, which one would he save? I told him that this is the problem with hypotheticals.
I know this is waaay off topic, but I know there are a lot of sharp people on here - sharper than me anyway.
Blessings.
