I hope you'll take some time to read the critics of Singer's advocacy for eugenics - literally saying the world would be a better place if parents aborted all disabled fetuses, though he always follows it by saying nice things about actual disabled people. And then consider how Singer's EA contains concealed eugenic principles - of course a world without disability would be better. While always saying nice things about actual disabled people.

He's learned to cloak his earlier eugenics first in animal rights and now in EA, and it seems like his efforts to wash his reputation has worked. It certainly hasn't been a dealbreaker for most.

Here's the piece I tend to share first, a bit out of date now, but the essential place to start: nytimes.com/2003/02/16/…

I've enjoyed your work this year. Thanks for any seconds of time you're willing to give to this.
