The Professor is telling us some important information. The Affordable Care Act will be made affordable soon. The Death panel will determine which people will receive health benefits.

Peter Singer is a very evil individual.

Without offering any concrete measure on how quality of life could or should be determined, Singer admitted, "I don't want my health insurance premiums to be higher so that infants who can experience zero quality of life can have expensive treatments."

If the government did not interfere in health insurance one would be able to purchase from a company with such a policy. People who don't want their disabled children to die could purchase other insurance. The market would determine the price of both policies. This is the evil of government controlled healthcare, people like Singer get to make the decisions that affect all people.

If they have health insurance, the insurance company should pay. Beyond that, charitable groups can step in.

Why is Singer named the god of American ethics? He has nothing to do with American or Western medical ethics.

“Peter Singer is a bigot. Rather than believing in universal human equality, he would invidiously measure the capacities of human beings to determine whether they are “persons.””

On this issue, you and I can agree wholeheartedly. A Singer led society would be every bit as inhuman as the Nazis, Stalinists and Maoists combined. Singer is particularly dangerous as he seems incapable of empathy, a defining human trait.

I am sure that we agree on much more than we disagree. I think that we’ve talked past each other some items we’ve debated – but that happens…
