«Repensar la vida y la muerte» is the moral philosophy essay by Peter Singer, published by Ediciones Paidós in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
Peter Singer uses extreme cases —a pregnant woman in an irreversible coma, a doctor who helps a terminal patient die— to show that traditional ethics about life and death is in crisis. He proposes rethinking abortion, euthanasia and animal rights from compassion and common sense.
First title in the Transiciones collection. ISBN 84-493-0414-8. Published in Barcelona on July 17, 1997.
For students and readers of philosophy, ethics and bioethics, and for anyone who wants to delve into the moral debates raised by modern medicine.
Peter Albert David Singer is an Australian moral philosopher who is Emeritus Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University. Singer's work specialises in applied ethics, approaching the subject from a secular, utilitarian perspective. He wrote the book Animal Liberation (1975), in which he argues for vegetarianism, and the essay "Famine, Affluence, and Morality", which argues the moral imperative of donating to help the poor around the world. For most of his career he was a preference utilitarian. He revealed in The Point of View of the Universe (2014), co-authored with Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek, that he had become a hedonistic utilitarian.
