As it happened, the orangutan lost interest before penetration took place, but the aspect of the story that struck me most forcefully was that in the eyes of someone who has lived much of her life with orangutans, to be seen by one of them as an object of sexual interest is not a cause for shock or horror. The potential violence of the orangutan's come-on may have been disturbing, but the fact that it was an orangutan making the advances was not. That may be because Galdikas understands very well that we are animals, indeed more specifically, we are great apes. And while Singer explains that a human male who has sex with hens ultimately kills the hen, he wonders if it is any "worse than what egg producers do to their hens all the time."

Invited to give the E-mail Jonah Printer-Friendly G-File Archive keynote address at an academic conference, Brooks encounters a problem at the podium; an attendee brought his young daughters with him because he couldn't find a babysitter. Brooks's talk is on such Freudian themes as, well, a condition that begins with the letter "p" and rhymes with "Venus frenzy." He also has to mention other words, unutterable in front of young children. He's forced to use words like "woo-woo" and balloons for various female body parts. Well, you guys are hardly children, but even NRO has its limits. Hence my problem. I want to write about Peter Singer, the famously controversial professor of "human values" at Princeton University. But I don't want to overly offend (indeed, this was originally going to be a syndicated column, but my editor demurred for the sake of family newspapers everywhere. So, you've been warned).

     Extractions: 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.

132. NAIA: Dissecting Peter Singer:
     Dissecting peter singer Putting the animal rights guru under a microscope. By Adrian Morrison DVM, PhD. Foolish, outrageous claims  
     http://www.naiaonline.org/body/articles/archives/disectps.htm
     
     Extractions: Putting the animal rights guru under a microscope By Adrian Morrison DVM, PhD Foolish, outrageous claims against the necessity or even usefulness of animal-based research are common in animal rights literature. These are as irresponsible as they are silly because they can lead the unwary with a natural, compassionate concern for animals to contribute money to a cause actually working against the contributor's best interests. Although I believe the political leaders of the animal rights movement know better and lie deliberately, they are not the most dangerous or even the most culpable in my mind. I am bothered by the intellectuals scientists and non-scientists who have stoked the fires with gross misrepresentations of the nature and necessity of biomedical research. Indeed, the acknowledged founder and chief guru of the movement, Australian philosopher Peter Singer, played a major role in unleashing the virulent attack on researchers with his descriptions of their work in the chapter "Tools for Research" in Animal Liberation. Singer's utilitarian philosophy depends upon the demonstration that insufficient good has come from animal research to justify the pain and suffering it has caused. But two scientists, Sharon Russell and Charles Nicoll, recently reviewed "Tools for Research" and demonstrated in detail just how much Singer misrepresents research to support his thesis. Their results were published in a scientific journal, Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine

     Extractions: Who We Are Sitemap Book Reviews The Lighter Side ... Movies Somebody once said that a philosopher's job is to interest us and to infuriate us. Enter Peter Singer. Singer's views on euthanasia and his essay on Bestiality of late have caused a furore in America and Australia. Having finally managed to track him down at an ANZFAS Conference in New Zealand recently Singer was generous with his time and opinions. Certainly the media have had a field day in portraying him as a steely-cold, cerebral philosopher without feelings, who pontificates in his Ivory Tower on other peoples' mothers. Who seemingly doesn't mind the concept of sex with nonhuman animals. However there were two broad issues that reoccurred in his lectures throughout the Conference. One theme was how to make a better world and the other was unquestionably concerned with the plight of the animals, especially factory-farmed animals. What else? He was honest, thoughtful and perhaps the biggest surprise of all, he has a well-developed sense of humour that doesn't necessarily transcribe successfully over from person to print. Does he feel betrayed by the sheer voraciousness of the attack on him from others in our Movement and from the media? You bet he does, and he's speaking about it here for the first time.

     Extractions: by Jenny Teichman I In Book I of his Treatise on Human Nature Ethical Studies I n August 1991 Peter Singer published an article in The New York Review of Books Journal of Applied Philosophy . Singer, a professor of philosophy at Monash University in Victoria, Australia, and a founder of the Monash Centre for Human Bioethics, wrote these two essays partly as the result of his own recent experiences in Germany. In the essay in the Journal of Applied Philosophy Singer writes: Since 1989 I have been unable to lecture openly at universities and conferences in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Courses based on my book Practical Ethics Singer is indignant about these events. It would appear that he regards them as attacks on the freedom of expression and as personal insults to himself. Although he does not explicitly say so in the paper quoted, it seems probable that he adheres to the conventional doctrine of the sanctity of free speech. Journal of Applied Philosophy W hen Singer explained his views on euthanasia in the Journal of Applied Philosophy and The New York Review of Books he was surprisingly economical with the truth. He misrepresented the contents of his book

     Extractions: March 10, 2000. When philosopher Peter Singer was appointed Ira DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University it set off a firestorm of protest in the University's mock tutor precincts that is only just abating. Singer has courted controversy throughout his professional career by arguing for viewpoints that when summarized seem incredible - animal rights, the voluntary donation of any income you earn over 30,000 dollars to the world's poor, and the killing of severely deformed infants. The latter view led the Archbishop of Melbourne to dub Peter Singer "Herod's Propaganda minister." The headline grabbing nature of those views obscures the fact that Peter Singer is a true professional philosopher an acknowledged scholar of Utilitarianism, a man who sees himself as applying the theories of John Stuart Mill to contemporary ethical problems. Difficult issues rigorously analyzed - Ethicist Peter Singer in the first hour of The Connection.
