    Extractions: PROFESSOR PETER SINGER, ETHICIST: Well, one thing that's changed for the better is people are much more aware of the issues and of thinking about where their food comes from, for example. There's a big interest in that now. And so people know more about the fact that a lot of the animal products they eat come from factory farms and they've started to become more concerned about that. KERRY O'BRIEN: You certainly give some illustrations of that that would be positive from your point of view, but you also get a sense from the book that there is still an enormous amount of factory food production, of that mass production, and you still paint a horrific picture. I mean, take for instance, chickens. What do you say about chicken production today in countries like the United States and Australia? PROFESSOR PETER SINGER: Well, it's become a mass manufactory production in which the individual birds just don't count at all. 20,000 birds crowded into a single shed and bred to put on weight so fast that in 45 days from hatching they're ready for market. And the individual bird doesn't count. These birds, some of them will die because their bones are just too immature to support their rapidly growing weight, and their legs collapse under them. They lie on the litter. They die because they can't get to food or water anymore. But it doesn't really matter to the individual producers. They don't put on the labour to look after individual birds. What they're concerned about is the total economic return from the whole shed. So that's the kind of mentality unfortunately, that farming has become in these areas.

His readiness to talk about evil in this manner raises the question of what meaning evil can have in a secular modern world. This book expounds George W. Bush's ethic as it is found in his speeches, writings, and other comments, as well as in the decisions he has made as an elected official. It does not attempt the impossible task of covering everything he has said and done, or even every major issue of his presidency, but instead focuses on those issues that most sharply raise fundamental ethical principles and hence reveal the president's views about right and wrong.

    Extractions: THE ANIMAL LIBERATION MOVEMENT: ITS PHILOSOPHY, ITS ACHIEVEMENTS, AND ITS FUTURE. Peter Singer is Professor of Philosophy at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, and the author of Animal Liberation , first published in 1975. His other books relevant to this essay are Democracy and Disobedience Animal Factories (with Jim Mason, 1980) and In Defence of Animals , a collection of essays by philosophers, scientists and activists in the movement, which was published in 1985. "The question is not, can they reason? nor, can they talk? but, can they suffer?" Jeremy Bentham Over the last few years, the public has gradually become aware of the existence of a new cause: animal liberation. Most people first heard of the movement through newspaper articles, often of the "what on earth will they come up with next?" variety. Then there were marches and demonstrations against factory farming, animal experimentation or the Canadian seal slaughter; all brought to an audience of millions by the TV cameras. Finally there have been the illegal acts: slogans daubed on fur shops, laboratories broken into and animals rescued. What are the ideas behind the animal liberation movement, and where is it heading? In this essay I shall try to answer these questions. Let us start with some history, so that we can get some perspective on the animal liberation movement. Concern for animal suffering can be found in Hindu thought, and the Buddhist idea of compassion is a universal one, extending to animals as well as humans; but nothing similar is to be found in our Western traditions. There are a few laws indicating some awareness of animal welfare in the Old Testament, but nothing at all in the New, nor in mainstream Christianity for its first eighteen hundred years.

Over the past three decades, the Australian philosopher has challenged the idea that eating is simply a matter of convenience or enjoyment, making a case that it is a profound ethical choice—particularly if you’re a meat eater. In 1975 he published Animal Liberation , a pioneering defense of the rights of animals that concluded that veganism is the most ethically justifiable diet. The book established Singer as the intellectual godfather of the animal rights movement and, as an Oxford philosophy lecturer

We hope you find it helpful. Frequently, I get e-mails from young students who want to know how to crack into the world of foreign policy. Below are the most frequent questions and my answers, which FP thought actually might be of use or at least amusement. Please judge their worth by the amount of money that you paid for them. How did you decide to get into the foreign-policy world? Soviet Military Power Sweet Valley High or The Boxcar Kids . Yes, it was totally nerdy. Guilty as charged. By the time I got to college, I applied to the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs as my major. If I didn't get in, my backup plan was to go into the history field. Fortunately, I did, and thoroughly enjoyed it. When it came time to figure out a job afterwards, I flirted a bit with the idea of becoming a management consultant. My thinking was that I could feed the beast by getting subscriptions to various political magazines to read in my off time, while I made scads of money merely for using words like "synergy," "leverage," or "optimize." But I soon realized that I didn't know what those words actually meant and I would shoot myself after a few months. So, I went into the foreign-policy business instead.

    Extractions: Katy Grannan for The New York Times Harriet McBryde Johnson asks, should I have been killed at birth? In "Unspeakable Conversations," she presents the case for her life. He insists he doesn't want to kill me. He simply thinks it would have been better, all things considered, to have given my parents the option of killing the baby I once was, and to let other parents kill similar babies as they come along and thereby avoid the suffering that comes with lives like mine and satisfy the reasonable preferences of parents for a different kind of child. It has nothing to do with me. I should not feel threatened. Whenever I try to wrap my head around his tight string of syllogisms, my brain gets so fried it's . . . almost fun. Mercy! It's like ''Alice in Wonderland.'' It is a chilly Monday in late March, just less than a year ago. I am at Princeton University. My host is Prof. Peter Singer, often called and not just by his book publicist the most influential philosopher of our time. He is the man who wants me dead. No, that's not at all fair. He wants to legalize the killing of certain babies who might come to be like me if allowed to live. He also says he believes that it should be lawful under some circumstances to kill, at any age, individuals with cognitive impairments so severe that he doesn't consider them ''persons.'' What does it take to be a person? Awareness of your own existence in time. The capacity to harbor preferences as to the future, including the preference for continuing to live.
