One would think that an ultra liberal newspaper like the NYT would look askance at an advocate who believes parents should be allowed to murder their baby if the child does not suit the interests or promote the happiness of the family. But the Times loves Singer and has since the utiltiarain philosophy was brought to Princeton to head the misnamed Center for Human Values. That a publication so out of the mainstream of American values can still be considered the “newspaper of record” is increasingly hard to justify.
Now Singer is pushing health care rationing, which is medical discrmination by a polite name. Here’s the article. And here’s my take over at Secondhand Smoke.

Gimme a break. All health care is rationed. For any given medical problem there is an infinite amount of money you could spend in treating it. Any rational individual, government or insurance company limits the amount he/it will pay according to some rational cost/benefit calculation.
The US pays twice as much on health care as the rest of the developed world with mediocre results. And a third of its population is uncovered. Get real.

Interesting according to Mr. martin, the number of uncovered is now 100 MM in the USA? Just like the rest of the junk that we are fed daily the numbers supporting there causes keep getting bigger.
Since the only religion that predcits there own doom is Christianity, maybe we will here more preaching on the Apocalypse and the return of more of these people to the fold?
