CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF PETER SINGER’S “FAMINE‚ AFFLUENCE AND MORALITY” In his article “Famine‚ Affluence and Morality” Peter Singer gives a seemingly devastating critique of our ordinary ways of thinking about famine relief‚ charity‚ and morality in general. In spite of that very few people have accepted‚ or at any rate acted on‚ the conclusions he reaches.

is spreading in GM crops cultivation areas such as the USA and Canada. GMO contamination will occur once GM crops are cultivated. Therefore‚ the co-existence between GMO farming and conventional farming or organic farming is very difficult. BBC News reported the result of a study conducted by the UK-based National Pollen Research in 1999. The result showed that airborne GM pollen can be carried hundreds of kilometers in 24 hours‚ and the pollen was found 4.5 km from a field of GM oilseed in Oxford
