RE: dangerous if overgeneralized.

Comment comment by LordDilly on 09 May 2008

Utilitarian Bio-ethics, as preached by the monstrous (yet highly regarded in academia, which is chilling) Peter Singer.

Yeah--utilitiarianism and consequentialism are occasionally necessary, but should never be a solitary mode of thinking--that is, unless we want to return to feudalism.
