In this book author presents his controversial views on various ethical issues, including climate change, extreme poverty, animals, abortion, euthanasia, human genetic selection, sports doping, kidney sales, high-priced art, and happiness. Singer questions whether chimpanzees are people, smoking should be outlawed, or consensual sex between adult siblings should be decriminalized. He also defends the idea that all human life is sacred, applying his arguments to recent news cases. Author also explores philosophical questions like whether anything really matters and the value of our planet. The collection also includes personal reflections, such as thoughts on surfing and a family conversation suggestion. These provocative and original essays challenge and potentially change beliefs about a wide range of real-world ethical questions.
