Anti-Life Professor Honoured with Ethics Award

PRINCETON, July 14, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Peter Singer, the Australian-born celebrity animal rights theorist who believes it is ethical to end the life of a disabled infant up to 28 days after birth, has received an international ethics award.

Singer, often referred to as a "philosopher," was appointed Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at the Center for Human Values at Princeton University in 1999 after 20 years at Monash University in Clayton, Australia. Last month, he was awarded the World Technology Network's 2003 Award for Ethics for contributions to the ethics of biotechnology.

"The fact that the World Technology Network has an ethics award at all is recognition of the importance of keeping ethics in mind as we move forward with new technologies in a wide variety of fields, from genetics to computing," Singer said. Previously, he has endorsed "consensual" sex between humans and animals.
