Peter Singer is Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University. He is the author, co-author, or editor of more than thirty books, including Animal Liberation, widely considered to be the founding statement of the animal rights movement, Practical Ethics, One World: Ethics and Globalization, and The Life You Can Save.
His very public philosophical positions on abortion, voluntary euthanasia,
infanticide, stem-cell research, animal rights and charity have generated
criticism from many groups - from religious conservatives to free-market
capitalists to disability activists.
