Peter Singer
Professor of bioethics at Princeton University. He advocates killing disabled infants up to 28 days after birth. Known as the "Father of Animal Rights."

Other quotes by Peter Singer.


“When the death of a disabled infant will lead to the birth of another infant with better prospects of a happy life, the total amount of happiness will be greater if the disabled infant is killed. The loss of the happy life for the first infant is outweighed by the gain of a happier life for the second. Therefore, if the killing of the hemophiliac infant has no adverse effect on others it would . . . be right to kill him.”
