Peter Singer on Bioethics

[@matthewfrazier9254]

100% people who hate singer have merely bought into the anti-intellectual meme and have misrepresented his views and ignored his actual thoughts. To paraphrase him myself, outrage may be extended over points of view taken out of his conceptual context.

They overestimated the amount of knowledge contained within the human body and the genome m- which shows an extremely poor understanding of epistemology, drs often make elementary epistemological errors.

"lay people" sticking nose into medicine is now alright because we all have bodies. But not so with physics because not all of us have to adhere to gravity and other physical laws? So say the experts

It only took till the middle of video to persuade me folks should have the right to 'self-terminate' (T2). Gives new meaning to brain death. 😇 💝

I didn't realise Singer thinks there are objective moral truths, he castigated Sam Harris for making such a claim for example.

[@filippolomuscio5912]

Apparently you haven’t been listening very carefully. Peter Singer thinks that the view according to which there are objective moral truths is likely to be true (see his “The point of view of the universe”). He does not think, as Harris seems to suggest in a rather confused way, that objective moral truths can be arrived at only through science. He is correct in my opinion.
