If you could save a drowning child, would you?

Of course, you believe you WOULD save a drowning child. But that doesn’t make you a saint – in fact, depending on how you live the rest of your life, it could well make you a sinner. For 50 years, PETER SINGER has been making uncomfortable observations like that. Peter is perhaps the world’s most influential philosopher - he’s shaped the way we think about animals and bioethics, abortion and euthanasia. And he's the philosophical father of the Effective Altruism movement - a quiet revolution that's transformed doing good from sentiment into science.
