Singer says: "for severely disabled infants, killing can still be a moral option." I seem to remember others who felt that way back in the 1930's and 40's in Germany. I had an uncle who fought over there and liberated some of the camps. One would have thought we had learned a lesson back then. Does Singer have fangs? Morally, yes. Those who interviewed the prisoners at Nuremberg were struck by how ordinary they were. I am fine with such discussions and meetings, but in the end there can be no compromise with the murder of children. Somehow I don't think they plan on giving it up either. So the battles will continue.
