Margaret Singer, who also spent time studying the political brainwashing of Korean prisoners of war, agreed with this conclusion: in her book Cults in Our Midst she describes six conditions which would create an atmosphere in which thought reform is possible.

The details are fuzzy, however, and Singer admits that he is " not entirely satisfied " with his treatment.

Consistent with his general ethical theory, Singer holds that the right to life is essentially tied to a being's capacity to hold preferences, which in turn is essentially tied to a being's capacity to feel pain and pleasure.

While Singer acknowledges that there are problems with ensuring that money goes where it is most needed and that it is used effectively, he does not think that these practical difficulties undermine his original conclusion ( that people should make a much greater effort to reduce poverty ).

In 1985, Singer wrote a book with the physician Deanne Wells arguing that surrogate motherhood should be allowed and regulated by the state by establishing non-profit ' State Surrogacy Boards ', which would ensure fairness between surrogate mothers and surrogacy-seeking parents.

In a 2001 review of Midas Dekkers ' Dearest Pet: On Bestiality, Singer argues that sexual activities between humans and animals that result in harm to the animal should remain illegal, but that " sex with animals does not always involve cruelty " and that " mutually satisfying activities " of a sexual nature may sometimes occur between humans and animals, and that writer Otto Soyka would condone such activities.

They were unaware that, although Singer believes that some lives are so blighted from the beginning that their parents may decide their lives are not worth living, in other cases, once the decision is made to keep them alive, everything that can be done to improve the quality of their life should, to Singer's mind, be done.

Though Singer focuses more than many philosophers on applied ethical questions, he has also written in depth on foundational issues in meta-ethics, including why one ethical system should be chosen over others.

Singer found it difficult to accept the argument from intrinsic worth of a-biotic or " non-sentient " ( non-conscious ) entities, and concluded in his first edition of " Practical Ethics " that they should not be included in the expanding circle of moral worth.

Although the show has been criticized for a supposed lack of educational value, Yale researchers Dorothy and Jerome Singer have concluded that episodes contain a great deal of age-appropriate educational material, calling the program a " model of what preschool television should be.

Singer applies the same logic to animals: for example, animals cannot comprehend a political candidate's platform then express a preference for one of the candidates ( just as men cannot bear children ), thus in democratic society, the only species that should have the right to vote is a species that has an ability to vote effectively ( and even then, the children of that species, who are similar to animals in their inability to comprehend the differences between political candidates, are not given the right to vote, just as animals aren't -- yet this is no reason to deprive children and animals of other types of rights such as the right not to be molested or wantonly killed, as Singer argues ); this is not the same as speciesism or ageism or ( as in the example regarding the right to give birth ) genderism, it is a mere concession to reality and the characteristics possessed by each species ( or gender, or adults versus children ).

Instead, Singer argues, a consideration of interests should be equal to that of a human ( or a man or an adult ) only whenever the two groups share similar relevant characteristics.

Singer himself rejected the use of the theoretical framework of rights when it comes to human and nonhuman animals: he argued that the interests of animals should be considered because of their ability to feel suffering and that the idea of rights was not necessary in order to consider them.

Comet 105P / Singer Brewster, discovered by Stephen Singer-Brewster, should by rights have been named " 105P / Singer-Brewster ", but this would have led most readers to believe it had been a joint discovery by two astronomers named Singer and Brewster, respectively, so the hyphen was replaced by a space.

On the way to his classification of Riemannian holonomy groups, Berger developed two criteria that must be satisfied by the Lie algebra of the holonomy group of a torsion-free affine connection which is not locally symmetric: one of them, known as Berger's first criterion, is a consequence of the Ambrose – Singer theorem, that the curvature generates the holonomy algebra ; the other, known as Berger's second criterion, comes from the requirement that the connection should not be locally symmetric.

The Prebisch / Singer findings remain controversial, but they were used at the time-and have been used subsequently-to suggest that the developing countries should erect barriers against manufactured imports in order to nurture their own “ infant industries ” and so reduce their need to export agricultural products.
