As the World Turns.

OF COURSE, Peter Singer would allow parents to have their profoundly disabled children the "right" to have them surgically mutilated.

Hell, he even thinks parents in their situation have the right to have their disabled children killed.

After all, their "happiness" is what counts.

Here’s where things get philosophically interesting. We are always ready to find dignity in human beings, including those whose mental age will never exceed that of an infant, but we don’t attribute dignity to dogs or cats, though they clearly operate at a more advanced mental level than human infants. Just making that comparison provokes outrage in some quarters. But why should dignity always go together with species membership, no matter what the characteristics of the individual may be?

What a vile bastard.
