UC Berkeley’s Philosophy Forum is facing pushback from campus students for hosting author and philosopher Peter Singer to speak Nov. 6 due to controversy from Singer’s comments on people with disabilities. 

Singer is best known for his novel, “Animal Liberation,” and his advocacy for those living in poverty. However, he has also faced backlash for his support of euthanasia for infants with severe disabilities. Many in the disability community see his views as eugenics. 

During the Philosophy Forum event, Singer gave a presentation on effective altruism which was followed by a Q&A session. When asked about a hypothetical scenario regarding procreation, he shared that he believed people with disabilities should refrain from reproducing in some cases.
