Introduction

Ethics Bites is a series of interviews on applied ethics produced in association with the Open University. In 1975 animal liberation was published marking the birth of the modern animal rights movement. Peter Singer argues that some animals have a higher moral status than some humans and our disregard for animal suffering is a deplorable moral blind spot. He also has contentious views on new phonasia, abortion, on infanticide, on civil disobedience and on how much we should give to charity.
