ESSAY ON: Peter Singer/ Practical Ethics

Number of Pages 6

This research paper: A 6 page essay that draws on the philosophical perspective of Singer's Practical Ethics. The writer considers the question: if it is morally permissible to experiment on non-human animals, must it also be morally permissible to experiment on seriously defective human beings? Looking at philosopher Peter Singer's text Practical Ethics (1993), one would have to say "yes," which naturally implies the caveat that Singer would argue that it is not moral to experiment on non-human animals any more than it should be considered moral to experiment on any human being. This examination of Singer's ethics demonstrate how he arrived at this conclusion and the basic premises of his system of ethics. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
