Peter Singer on Animal Liberation Now


Listen Later

Peter Singer delves into difficult ethical

questions regarding animal rights, the morality of factory farming, and
difficult human-related ethical dilemmas.

Singer discusses his views as a

consequentialist, examining the impact of our choices on animal suffering, the
ethical considerations around organ donation from anencephalic children, and
the broader implications of such decisions.

What are the moral implications of eating

meat from factory farms versus ethically raised animals, and cannibalism under
hypothetical scenarios with no harm to others?

Singer emphasizes the need for considering

the consequences of our actions, shedding light on the pressing need to reform
our food production systems and make more ethical choices in our daily lives.
