I don't see this as a partisan issue. I think it's a moral issue. I'm a practicing Methodist. His views don't serve God or country at all. Religious conflicts Singer believes that the value of the life of any living being is determined by its knowledge that it has a life.
Singer suggests that there is no automatic hierarchy of species among living beings.
Higher primates like baboons and chimpanzees may be more valuable than a severely disabled infant who has little or no understanding of having a life. By denying any kind of unique inherent superiority to human life, Singer places himself at odds with the entire Judeo-Christian tradition. Members of the religious community are proceeding cautiously with their questions about Singer. It's not an incendiary issue. Rabbi Jim Diamond at the Center for Jewish Life was equally careful.
