The Ethics of Life

Monthly Commentaries by Peter Singer

Peter Singer is Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University and Laureate Professor at the University of Melbourne. He is the author of Animal Liberation, Practical Ethics, One World, The President of Good and Evil, and editor of In Defense of Animals: The Second Wave.
In 2005 Time magazine named Peter Singer one of the 100 most influential people in the world, for his challenging debates on abortion, genetic engineering, and "collateral damage" on the battlefield. As Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University's Center for Human Values, not only is Peter Singer the most qualified to dissect these issues, at times, he is also the most controversial. Is human life really always sacred? What standards should govern how we address poverty and fight wars? In The Ethics of Life, this exciting contemporary thinker examines the moral concepts that shape public policy.
