If we compare a severely defective human infant with a nonhuman animal, a dog or a pig, for example, we will often find the nonhuman to have superior capacities, both actual and potential, for rationality, self-consciousness, communication and anything else that can plausibly be considered morally significant.

More From Peter Singer

If a dog is biting a black man, the black man should kill the dog, whether the dog is a police dog or a hound dog or any kind of dog. if a dog is fixed on a black man when that black man is doing nothing but trying to take advantage of what the government says is supposed to be his, then that black man should kill that dog or any two-legged dog who sets the dog on him.

When the death of a disabled infant will lead to the birth of another infant with better prospects of a happy life, the total amount of happiness will be greater if the disabled infant is killed. the loss of happy life for the first infant is outweighed by the gain of happier life for the second. therefore, if killing the hemophiliac infant has no adverse effect on others, it would, according to the total view, be right to kill him.
Loss Happy Life Adverse Effects
Many of our feelings of satisfaction or dissatisfaction have their roots in how we compare ourselves to others. when we compare ourselves to those who have more, we feel bad. when we compare ourselves to those who have less, we feel grateful. even though the truth is we have exactly the same life either way, our feelings about our life can vary tremendously based on who we compare ourselves with. compare yourself with those examples that are meaningful but that make you feel comfortable with who you are and what you have.
Meaningful Grateful Roots
99% of our uses of animals, including our numerically most significant use of them for food, do not involve any sort of necessity or any real conflict between human and nonhuman interests. if animals matter morally at all, then, even without accepting a theory of animal rights, those uses of animals cannot be morally justified.
Real Animal Rights
We proclaim human intelligence to be morally valuable per se because we are human. if we were birds, we would proclaim the ability to fly as morally valuable per se. if we were fish, we would proclaim the ability to live underwater as morally valuable per se. but apart from our obviously self-interested proclamations, there is nothing morally valuable per se about human intelligence.

What is there about the notion of a person, at law, that makes every living member of the species homo sapiens a person, irrespective of their mental capacities, but excludes every nonhuman animal - again, irrespective of their mental capacities?
