Controversial Ivy League Professor Sparks Debate with Pro-Bestiality Study
Princeton University bioethics professor Peter Singer, a self-described animal rights activist, promoted a pro-bestiality study from the Journal of Controversial Ideas, which he co-founded. Singer called the article "thought-provoking" and argued that it challenges society's taboo against having sex with animals. The study argues for the moral permissibility of some forms of sexual contact between humans and animals, claiming that zoophilia is not inherently problematic. Singer clarified that the publication of the article does not indicate agreement with its views, but rather provides an outlet for controversial ideas. The study has sparked outrage and controversy, with critics questioning the ethics and appropriateness of promoting such research.
