Peter Singer's Practical Ethics: Initial Thoughts on Replaceability

In this video, I discuss ideas in the book Practical Ethics by Peter Singer, focusing on the definition and application of the term "person" as it applies to animals and people, and also the concept of "replaceability" and some of the questions that his explanations raised for me. Previously I made a video covering some of Peter Singer's ideas in his earlier book Animal Liberation, and later made a separate video on Tom Regan's book The Case For Animal Rights, both of which are relevant to the discussion in this video.
