Well, he certainly flubbed that one... In any case, despite the Pete Singers out there, I don't think of bioethicists as monsters. In fact I know one personally and she's anything but a monster. I will admit I don't much about the discipline as I find philosophy to be terribly uninteresting.As far as its corruption, the weird utilitarian arguments coming out of bioethics programs are famously odd. Witness Pete Singer out of Princeton, who argued for infanticide. He was considered by many a leader in the field of bioethics until then.
I'm not hitching my star to that "movement," which seems to have been ideologically captured by monstrous (as IK pointed out in another thread) people.
