it's just an incredibly huge amount of posting to say absolutely nothing of value.

That's why he's the only person on my ignore list.
And regarding the quote Gambit provided about embryos dying from natural causes, and asking
"should we feel that this loss of embryos is a terrible thing, a kind of ongoing holocaust? If each human embryo is "something precious to be protected," then surely this is how we should feel", is Peter Singer really serious?
The holocaust was hardly the result of naturally occurring events. There's a huge huge HUGE difference between the brutal and intentional rounding up, torturing, and murdering of millions of lucid, feeling human beings, compared to the natural process of an embryo failing to implant in a woman's uterus. I don't mean to direct any of that at you Gambit, but I hope the rest of Singer's book is better thought out than this question implies, otherwise it sounds like a complete waste of paper.
