Extractions: Shopping at the Genetic Supermarket Peter Singer Asian Bioethics in the 21st Century , Tsukuba, 2003, pp. 143-156 Consider … the issue of genetic engineering. Many biologists tend to think the problem is one of design, of specifying the best types of persons so that biologists can proceed to produce them. Thus they worry over what sort(s) of person there is to be and who will control this process. They do not tend to think, perhaps because it diminishes the importance of their role, of a system in which they run a "genetic supermarket," meeting the individual specifications (within certain moral limits) of prospective parents … This supermarket system has the great virtue that it involves no centralized decision fixing the future of human type(s).

Con una estudiada y parcial selección de casos médicos y decisiones judiciales, Singer sostiene que está en crisis la ética que postula el valor intrínseco de la vida humana. Si el diagnóstico de las incoherencias y contradicciones (prácticas y teóricas) es a veces certero, su terapia deja que desear.

Extractions: Princeton Weekly Bulletin December 7, 1998 T H E P R E S I D E N T ' S P A G E Every year Princeton appoints a number of senior scholars as new members of its tenured faculty. We look to these distinguished men and women to bring new vitality and continuing leadership to our programs of teaching and research. Some of these appointments come from our own untenured ranks, and we recruit others from outside of Princeton. In every case, we insist on someone who already is or has clear potential to be one of the leading scholars in his or her field, who is an excellent and committed teacher, and who will be a valued colleague and contributing citizen of this community over an extended period of time. Most of our appointments are uncontroversial. But every once in a while we make an appointment that is greeted with a mixture of accolades and controversy, and even some protest. Appointments like these give us an opportunity to discuss fundamental issues about a university's central purposes and core values. The appointment of Professor Peter Singer, who will join our faculty next fall as the DeCamp Professor in the University Center for Human Values, is just such a case. There is no question about Professor Singer's eminence in the field of bioethics. He began his career at Oxford University, was appointed to a professorship at his home university (Monash) in Australia at the age of 30, has served as president of the International Association of Bioethics and as editor of its official journal (

Extractions: Finish Date: 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-euthanasia activists 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 "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."

Extractions: Guest Columnist Published: Friday, April 7th, 2000 It is true that a Dutch government-initiated study, the Remmelink Report, has indicated that Dutch physicians have sometimes terminated the lives of their patients without their consent. This was, almost invariably, when the patients were very close to death, and no longer capable of giving consent. In other cases, there had been discussions with the patient in which the patient had expressed a wish to die, but there had not been a formal request. This fact can legitimately give some ground for concern. In fact, such studies do exist, but they do not support Peter Harrell's conclusions. First, there has been a more recent update of the original Dutch survey. This second study, carried out five years after the original one, did not show any increase in the amount of non-voluntary euthanasia happening in that country. Our findings suggest that while the rate of active voluntary euthanasia in Australia was slightly lower than that shown in the most recent Dutch study (1.8 percent as against 2.3 percent), the rates of non-voluntary euthanasia in Australia are significantly higher. Our study thus refutes earlier speculation that the open practice of active voluntary euthanasia in the Netherlands had led to the practice of non-voluntary euthanasia. Our findings also suggest that making euthanasia illegal does not prevent doctors from practicing it.

Extractions: The world should watch with suspicion George Bush's decision-making process, writes Peter Singer. Now that the United States is again considering going to war, it is timely to reassess the last war fought by the Bush Administration. Was the war in Afghanistan a just war? If not, our scrutiny of present moves towards another US-initiated war will need to be that much more strict. After September 11, 2001, few doubted that the US was justified in going to war in Afghanistan. On behalf of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Bishop Joseph Fiorenza wrote to President George Bush that the use of force against Afghanistan was "regrettable but necessary". (In September 2002, his successor, Bishop Wilton Gregory, called on Bush to step back from the brink of war with Iraq.) At Princeton University, as the bombing of Afghanistan began, I invited four distinguished speakers, covering the range of opinion from left to right, to discuss whether a war on Afghanistan was a just response to terrorism: Richard Falk, Michael Walzer, James Johnson and Gideon Rose. To my surprise, all four thought the war on Afghanistan was a just war.

Extractions: The coalition cannot avoid responsibility for the casualties from the war it chose to fight, writes Peter Singer. As the war goes on, the casualties inevitably rise: American and British combatants, Australian and British journalists, Iraqi combatants, and Iraqi civilians are being killed. How many lives is it justifiable to sacrifice to protect our security, and to free the Iraqi people from Saddam Hussein's dictatorship? In August 2001, in defending his decision to refuse federal funds for research that involves destroying human embryos, President Bush told the American people: "I worry about a culture that devalues life, and believe as your President I have an important obligation to foster and encourage respect for life in America and throughout the world." But how do we know whether we are devaluing life or protecting it when we go to war? It's easy to talk about respect for life, but in wartime, it often involves hard calculations. In Afghanistan, for instance, Bush unleashed a war that killed, according to the best estimates, between 1000 and 1300 civilians. Now we read heartbreaking stories of houses in the suburbs of Baghdad being destroyed by cruise missiles, of bombs hitting marketplaces, and of husbands losing their wives, and parents losing their children. Are we wrong to use weapons that have the potential to go astray, and kill innocents? Are we justified in going to war if war involves a risk of significant civilian casualties?
