Human life and "the world's most dangerous philosopher".



"If you could say to somebody, you're going to have a child who will magically bring about social cohesion, will bring joy and encourage all the people around him or her not to take life too seriously, who will enjoy simple things in life, who will literally do a dance if there is ice cream in the freezer, who is able to enjoy life', that's a whole new value system, isn't it? That's a whole new way of assessing what is and isn't valuable."

One of many thought provoking quotes in the segment here from BBC's Frank Skinner on demand featuring Bridget Jones's Diary / Miranda star Sally Phillips talking about ‘the world’s most dangerous philosopher’ (Peter Singer) and Down's syndrome screening.
