Peter Singer argues that our current conception of moral obligation requires a drastic revision. After carefully explaining Singer’s position and his argument for that position, critically evaluate his viewpoint. If you disagree with Singer, explain what is wrong with his argument and/or position (you may also defend one of the objections he himself raises and rejects). If you agree with Singer, then respond to the following objection to his viewpoint: My own life is every bit as important as the life of another. By making the sort of sacrifice Singer suggests, I would be, in effect, sacrificing my own life (because my own goals, projects and interests would need to be abandoned). Singer is therefore wrong to claim that I, as an individual, have amoral responsibility or duty to make such a sacrifice, because no one is morally required to sacrifice their own life for the life of another.
