Peter Singer and Bioethics: Agencies of Anomie
Bioethics is said in the pages of the Encyclopaedia Britannica to identify, "[T]he discipline dealing with the ethical implications of both biological research and the applications of that research, especially in medicine." It identifies, in fact, something more than a mere freshly minted academic discipline; it stands for a movement, constituted for the most part of professional philosophers and other, assorted, academicians, which has as its object a refashioning of the moral order of the nation, and, indeed, of the civilized world, a mission for which its sectaries plainly, and amusingly, fancy themselves specially fitted. The moral nostrum they come bearing us is the metaethical principle of utility , a doctrine articulated by the English lawyer and polemicist, Jeremy Bentham, in the age of Enlightenment: Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters

Peter Singer Gets A Chair By Wesley J. Smith Critique by Punkerslut [Criticizer's Notes: Written on Thursday, April 18, 2002. Finished on Friday, April 19, 2002.] Introduction Peter Singer, I believe, is a wonderful philosopher and thinker. From reading his writings, many people can easily conclude that he does not overlook points, nor is he faulty in reasoning. However, there is a following that detests Singer. Some of these individuals do not necessarily detest the ideas of Singer so much as they detest the man himself. This can clearly be seen when a group of anti-Euthanasianists picketed his lecture on Animal Rights simply because Singer has written much in defense of Euthanasia. The following essay that I am about to critique is the opinion of a person who quite clearly detests Singer. Of course, his reasons do not stand critical investigation, as I shall show. The Critique ANIMAL RIGHTS EXTREMISM AT PRINCETON Peter Singer Gets A Chair by Wesely J. Smith MOST PEOPLE KNOW THAT IT IS WRONG TO KILL BABIES . Most people understand that pigs are animals, not persons. Most people view the intentional killing of "medically incompetent" people as murder.

Singer, Peter Rethinking Life and Death: The Collapse of Our Traditional Values
Genre Treatise (256 pp.) Keywords Abortion Aging Cancer Caregivers ... Technology Summary In Rethinking Life and Death: The Collapse of Our Traditional Values, Peter Singer argues that "the traditional western ethic has collapsed" as we enter "a period of transition in our attitude to the sanctity of life" (pp. 1). The book begins with the tale of Trisha Marshall, a twenty-eight year old woman, who in 1993 was seventeen weeks pregnant when a gunshot to her head left her in an intensive care unit, her body warm, her heart beating, a respirator supporting her breathing. However, she was brain dead. Her boyfriend and her parents wanted the hospital to do everything possible so that the baby would be born. The ethics committee of the hospital supported the decision. For the next 100 days, Trisha Marshall continued to be supported in the ICU until her baby was delivered by cesarean birth. After a blood test showed that the boyfriend was not the father, and after three weeks in the intensive care unit, the baby went to live with Marshall's parents.

Peter Singer:
the most dangerous man on Earth?
Andrew Gunn
Dr Andrew Gunn is a Brisbane general practitioner currently completing an MAPhil at the University of Queensland. Introduction Australian ethicist Peter Singer must have a thick skin. His recent departure from Melbourne was marked in The Age by an article titled “Good riddance to a warped philosopher”1. His appointment as professor of philosophy at Princeton University in the United States led to demonstrations and death threats. Singer (a.k.a. Professor Death2) attracts a variety of opinions. Commentary ranges from “the most dangerous man in the world”3 to “the greatest living philosopher”4 - although these two opinions are not necessarily contradictory. He is widely condemned as a “Nazi”, a distressing (but not unique) fate for a man of German/Austrian Jewish stock who lost several close relatives in the Holocaust5. This article discusses a few myths surrounding Singer’s philosophy. The philosophical differences creating divergent opinions on Singer also have important repercussions on health care. Ethics, not science, underlies many health care controversies. Peter Singer Singer has published profusely over several decades – a couple of dozen books, hundreds of articles and thousands of interviews and lectures. Nonetheless, public criticism of Singer’s work – and there is plenty of it - often focuses on the same two or three sentences plucked from the millions available. Indeed, outside philosophical forums it appears quite normal to damn Singer’s work having only read about it, rather than having read it. “I can’t recall or find the book in which he [Singer] wrote these views” wrote one medical critic recently, before using a misquote to discuss Singer6.

The Singer Solution to World Poverty
By PETER SINGER Illustrations by ROSS MacDONALD Is it possible to quantify our charitable burden? In the following essay, Singer offers some unconventional thoughts about the ordinary American's obligations to the world's poor and suggests that even his own one-fifth standard may not be enough.
Suppose Dora had told her neighbor that it is a tough world, other people have nice new TV's too, and if selling the kid is the only way she can get one, well, he was only a street kid. She would then have become, in the eyes of the audience, a monster. She redeems herself only by being prepared to bear considerable risks to save the boy.

Princeton's New Philosopher Draws a Stir
(April 10, 1999)
n his 1996 book, "Living High and Letting Die," the New York University philosopher Peter Unger presented an ingenious series of imaginary examples designed to probe our intuitions about whether it is wrong to live well without giving substantial amounts of money to help people who are hungry, malnourished or dying from easily treatable illnesses like diarrhea. Here's my paraphrase of one of these examples:
You shouldn't take that cruise, redecorate the house or get that pricey new suit. After all, a $1,000 suit could save five children's lives.

BOB CORBETT'S COMMENTS ON PETER SINGER'S ANALYSIS THAT LEADS TO SPECIESISM
SINGER, PETER. ANIMAL LIBERATION. (NEW YORK: AVON BOOKS, 1975)
SPECIESISM AND INTERESTS IN PETER SINGER'S "ANIMAL LIBERATION" A Very Introductory Essay Bob Corbett
August 1999 As we begin our exploration of our relationship with animals, we come face to face with Peter Singer and his insistence that speciesism is a vice. It is important to come to know what he means by speciesism, why he regards it as a moral mistake. In order to try to clarify this I will do four things here:
  • Talk about the general range of prejudices such as racism, sexism, nationalism and others.
  • Then I will try to clarify Singer's views and how he extends the categories to include species.
  • I also want to point out that Singer's view, while tremendously important in its philosophical and practical import, is not something really new to most of us. His uncompromising SENSE of it is.
  • Lastly I will comment upon and hopefully clarify Singer's notion that the notion of equality has to do with "equality of consideration" and not of "treatment." Further, I want to deal with his notion that this "equality" is not a claim of fact, but a moral prescription. The point here is that many of us have some intuitions toward the interests of animals. They may not be dominant, and they might not be sentiments of equality, and they many not compete well with contrary interests toward humans. At the same time, we still often have some positive sentiments and intuitions toward the interests of animals. The notion that Singer will develop in ways that may well be strange and new to us, are not 100% novel. If we have a hard time grasping his view, perhaps returning to some of those personal sentiments or intuitions might be a good place to go.
