Singer's Ethics Response
What I found interesting about Singer's ethics was it's relation to utilitarianism. He follows the general ideology that an action is either right or wrong depending on how much respective pleasure of pain they produce. Although his idea of ethics can be considered somewhat controlversial, I agree with his sentiment. I think the conclusions he comes to are questionable, I agree with the way he got there. Singer also emphasizes the difference between an ethical case being subjective and individual - I think that this makes a lot of sense. When a group of people are arguing about a hard case, everyone's perspective is going to be different, and their individual opinions will reflect that. Therefore there is going to be a difference between a subjective observation of a hard case and someone's individual opinion.
Singer also discusses whether or not eating meat is ethical. In my opinion, I think that it is ethical because by using the ultilitarian method of addition and subtraction of pain and pleasure, the pain of the meat being produced is outweight but the pleasure that meat brings to people, and it's importance to providing nutrition and helping with starvation.
