Peter Singer has been described as the world's most influential philosopher. His books include Animal Liberation, Practical Ethics, Rethinking Life and Death, One World, The Life You Can Save, and The Point of View of the Universe. In 2014 the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute ranked him third on its list of Global Thought Leaders, and Time has ranked him among the world's 100 most influential people.

the arguments in Singer's short book are worth reviewing because they pose interesting questions about who we are and what we do - and perhaps especially so for health professionals who might think they already do a great deal for humanity.
