N1  - Includes bibliographical references (p. 94-96)
N2  - Supports the concept that ethics should be rooted in the quality life, rather than in hypothetical suppositions about its "sanctity"-- on real issues of pain and pleasure, rather than abstract principles of duty and obedience. Argues that the ability of the animals to feel pain and pleasure put them on a plane of moral equivalence with man.Singer's utilitarian position focuses on the quality of a life based on the capacity to experience pleasure, happiness, and self-fulfillment. Life in other words, is and inherently worthwhile, and some lives are better not being lived at all
