Siegfried Fred Singer ( born September 27, 1924 ) is an Austrian-born American physicist and emeritus professor of environmental science at the University of Virginia.

Singer moved back to the United States in 1953, where he took up an associate professorship in physics at the University of Maryland, and at the same time served as the director of the Center for Atmospheric and Space Physics.

In November 1957 Singer and other scientists at the university successfully designed and fired three new " Oriole " rockets off the Virginia Capes.

Singer accepted a professorship in Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia in 1971, a position he held until 1994, where he taught classes on environmental issues such as ozone depletion, acid rain, climate change, population growth, and public policy issues related to oil and energy.

A 1990 article for the Cato Institute identifies Singer as the director of the science and environmental policy project at the Washington Institute for Values in Public Policy, on leave from the University of Virginia.

On two occasions Singer served as chair of the philosophy department at Monash University, where he founded its Centre for Human Bioethics.

After leaving school, Singer studied law, history and philosophy at the University of Melbourne, gaining his BA degree ( hons ) in 1967.

In his book Rethinking Life and Death, as well as in Practical Ethics, Singer asserts that, if we take the premises at face value, the argument is deductively valid.

Singer comments that defenders of abortion attack the second premise, suggesting that the fetus becomes a " human " or " alive " at some point after conception ; however, Singer finds this argument flawed in that that human development is a gradual process, and it is nearly impossible to mark a particular moment in time as the moment at which human life begins.

Since a capacity to experience the sensations of suffering or satisfaction is a prerequisite to having any preferences at all, and a fetus, up to around eighteen weeks, says Singer, has no capacity to suffer or feel satisfaction, it is not possible for such a fetus to hold any preferences at all.

When Singer attempted to speak during a lecture at Saarbrücken, he was interrupted by a group of protesters including advocates for the disabled.
