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.

Singer believes that contemplative analysis may now guide one to accept a broader utilitarianism:

Essentially Singer claims that although humans possess selfish, competitive tendencies naturally, they have a substantial capacity for cooperation that has also been selected for during human evolution.

'" Singer Johnny Cash recalled acting in one episode, and although he was not an experienced actor, he writes in his autobiography, " Peter Falk was good to me.

" Singer argued that, although there may be differences between animals and humans, they share the capacity to suffer, and we must give equal consideration to that suffering ; any position that allows similar cases to be treated in a dissimilar fashion fails to qualify as an acceptable moral theory.

In his 1990 edition of Animal Liberation, Peter Singer said that he no longer ate oysters and mussels, because although the creatures might not suffer, they might, it ’ s not really known, and it ’ s easy enough to avoid eating them in any case ( and this aspect of seeking better alternatives is a prominent part of utilitarianism ).

Peter Singer: distinguished between immature " traditional " and highly reasoned " critical " conscience

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 ).

Singer suggests that rights are conferred according to the level of a creature's self-awareness, regardless of their species.

Another prominent position is that of philosopher Peter Singer, who argues that there are no grounds to include a being's species in considerations of whether their suffering is important in utilitarian moral considerations.

: Where animals have an equal characteristic to humans — such as the ability to feel — one must provide for an equal consideration of interests, but in areas where a species does not have an equal characteristic to humans — such as lacking the ability to comprehend one political candidate's views versus another candidate and then the ability to express a favoritism toward one of the candidates — then Singer argues that we do not need to apply equal consideration of interests in that particular realm of one's life.

In Animal Liberation, Singer argues against what he calls speciesism: discrimination on the grounds that a being belongs to a certain species.
