Peter Singer: Architect of the Culture of Death: "According to Singer, some humans are non-persons, while some non-human animals are persons. The key is not nature or species membership, but consciousness. A pre-conscious human cannot suffer as much as a conscious horse. In dealing with animals, we care only about their quality of life. We put a horse that has broken its leg out of its misery as quickly as possible. This merciful act spares the animal an untold amount of needless suffering. If we look upon human animals in the same fashion, our opposition to killing those who are suffering will begin to dissolve. The 'quality-of-life' ethic has a tangible correlative when it relates to suffering; the 'sanctity-of-life' seemingly relates to a mere vapor. "
