An excerpt from the book About Peter Singer

Peter Singer was born in 1946 in Melbourne, Australia. He studied law, history, and philosophy at the University of Melbourne and continued his studies in philosophy at Oxford. He is currently a professor of bioethics at Princeton University and has authored numerous books and articles, some of which have also been translated into Persian. Among the important subjects Singer has contemplated is the cultivation of a new world in which the suffering and pain endured by human beings are diminished. He wishes to bring about a Copernican revolution in ethics and, to this end, issues his "five new commandments" in the sphere of morality. These five commandments are:

1- Recognize that the value of human life changes. 2- Take responsibility for the consequences of your decisions. 3- Respect a person's wish regarding whether they want to die or live. 4- Only bring children into the world who are wanted by you. 5- Do not discriminate on the basis of the group to which you belong. The attached text is a part of the book "About Peter Singer," which is an exposition of one of Singer's articles and some of his views on reducing human pain and suffering.
