Princeton U. professor: ‘Just being human doesn’t give you a right to live’

Yeah, Peter Singer. For years he's written extensively on how you have to qualify to live. At least he's honest about it. He's written elsewhere many times that  an adult dog has more rights then a newborn.

I found his article referenced here –

To the ears of us ordinary people, it sounds like the ravings of some fringe group of European neo-fascists or Communists, but the man who made that statement in a Scottish newspaper today is perhaps the most acclaimed and respected ethical philosopher alive, toasted by liberal academic and political elites around the world.

And the original article is in The Scotsman (UK) here –

We can plausibly argue that we ought not to kill, against their will, self-aware beings who want to continue to live. We can see this as a violation of their autonomy, or a thwarting of their preferences. But why should a being’s potential to become rationally self-aware make it wrong to end its life before it has the capacity for rationality or self-awareness?

Stalin, Hitler, Mao Tse Tung, they'd all agree.
