Link to an article, named above, in the Catholic Education Resource Center. Specifically talks about his views on babies with Down Syndrome ::shudder:::
Note this line:
"At a Princeton forum Professor Singer remarked that he would have supported the parents of his disabled protesters, if they had sought to kill their disabled offspring in infancy. This is the kind of unkind remark that will ensure that his disabled protesters will continue to protest."
Yup. But it's more than the "unkind" remarks. (Telling a group of people that you would support their parents in seeking to kill them in infancy is outrageous, not unkind. )
It's the fact that his entire philosophy places the life of a child with a disability into the hands of another person - because he considers that disabled child not to be worthy of the status of a person.

This is frightening stuff. I wish people would stop and think about the fact that those who espouse the theory that a life with a disability is not worth living are not disabled.
