Reading Peter Singer
Prior to leaving Chicago for the Singer protest at Princeton, I spent the entire weekend reading through a pile of material about Peter Singer and by Peter Singer, including Practical Ethics, Rethinking Life and Death, and Should the Baby Live?
While reading Singer's views on animal liberation in an interview with Singer conducted by Bob Abernethy for PBS's Religion & Ethics Weekly, it occurred to me that Singer wholeheartedly embraces what might be considered a social model of animal rights, but he cannot seem to apply this same model to the lives of infants with disabilities.
