Talk:Peter Singer

I thnk the articles needs a more detailed explanation of Singer's ethic. I don't kow his work, but I think his ethic is logical consequence of some principles (for example, ethics must be as much universal as possible).

Go ahead. You can edit that page right now! (http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?action=edit&id=Peter_Singer)

Singer is in/famous also for arguing that human children up to 30 days old should potentially be subject to euthanasia if keeping them alive creates extreme hardship for themselves, parents, or society.

"He almost single-handedly jump-started the [animal rights]? movement ... in which he argues against what he calls 'speciesm'..."

Google gives 3,00 hits for "speciesism" and 103 for "speciesm". Therefore changing the spelling in the entry.

Isn't Peter Singer also the author of "Towards a Darwinian Left"?

Isn't he currently head of bioethics at the University of Toronto?

He is the author of "Darwinian Left" (pretty obvious boring stuff though, at least for Darwinian leftists :-)) and he is at Princeton, not Toronto. AxelBoldt 01:06 Jan 28, 2003 (UTC)
