I'll bet this same "ethicist" believes it is wrong to execute mentally disabled adults in prison, though. *****rollingeyes*****

Well Singer, I don't think professors contribute enough tangible productivity to society. How 'bout I put your face in the dirt and a bullet in your head?

Sound good?

If you want to base society on absolutist proclamations of morality according to the doctrine of your particular religious belief, you better hope you have the power and the guns or it may not turn out so well for you.
