I say tomato, you say... child slayer

Article Abstract:

Princeton University Ethics Professor Peter Singer suggests his views have not be changed by the protestors outside his building. Singer had suggested disabled babies should be killed at birth to save them from lifelong suffering. He has received death threats because of his views since he moved to the US from Australia. Yet he insists he will not hide away. He admits to finding the controversy his ideas have raised quite stimulating. Singer contributes some 20% of his yearly income to charity, as part of his concern about the differences in wealth between the rich and poor nations.
