“The solution to ending the culture of death does not realistically lie with changing the minds of pro-abortion adults; it lies with preserving the 99+ % of children that are naturally pro-life on their first day of school.”
THE MISSING KEY OF THE PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT

The most in-depth article I've read about the fiend. Amazing how far off the deep end one can go when God and His laws are rejected. The worst thing is that Singer has not reached the end of depraved evil and cruelty. He or others will carry the baton still farther into the outer limits of darkness.

Singer is living proof that evil is not necessarily stupid, and unintelligent doesn't necessarily mean unholy. Better to have a simple faithful heart than the slickest brain, if the slick brain thinks up evil.

(An odd note - I have been vegetarian for more than 30 years. Reading that Singer is a vegetarian is the only thing that has tempted me to stop being one. He is a singularly inconsistent one. How can he preach kindness to animals and cruelty to humans?)

"He argues, for example, that where a baby has Down syndrome, and in other instances of "life that has begun very badly," parents should be free to kill the child within 28 days after birth."

I wonder if Herr Doktor Singer considers not having blond hair and blue eyes qualifies as "life that has begun very badly,". Herr Singer was born fifty years too late to be a star in the Third Reich.

Please add to ping list.

He's a strange ranger who likes to make broadly outrageous statements such as his comments regarding bestiality. A little bit of investigating his qualifications to be a pseudo-deity should make him go away. Or a plagiarism scandalette.

Talk about Brave New World revisited...

"not ... everything the Nazis did was horrendous; we cannot condemn euthanasia just because the Nazis did it."

That's interesting... I always thought that euthanasia was one of the reasons that we rejected Nazis in the first place...

He finds notions of "sanctity-of-life," "dignity," "created in the image of God," and so on to be spurious. "Fine phrases," he says, "are the last resource of those who have run out of argument." He also sees no moral or philosophical significance to traditional teens such as "being," "nature" and "essence." He takes pride in being a modern philosopher who has cast off such "metaphysical and religious shackles."

Thanks for the ping, cp.

I'd love to say something tremendously intellectual and profound about this person, but having read extensively on Singer for years, only a saying from my proud Southern heritage will do:

"This guy's just nutty as a durn fruitcake."

And dangerous.

What were his comments regarding bestiality? I didn't read any in the article - of course I read it rather quickly as it was getting near bedtime and I didn't want to focus more than necessary on such a fiend in human form.

Something about only with consenting animals?
