Both its defenders and detractors have described the argument from
marginal cases as the most important to date in defense of animal
rights. Hotly debated among philosophers for some twenty years, the
argument concludes that no morally relevant characteristic
distinguishes human beings - including infants, the severely
retarded, the comatose, and other marginal cases - from any other
animals. Babies and Beasts presents the first book-length
exploration of the broad range of views relating to the argument
from marginal cases and sorts out and evaluates its various uses
and abuses. Daniel Dombrowski analyzes the views of many who are
prominent in the debate - Peter Singer, Thomas Regan, H. J.
McCloskey, Jan Narveson, John Rawls, R. G. Frey, Peter Carruthers,
Michael Leahy, Robert Nozick, and James Rachels are included - in a
volume that will be essential to philosophers, animal rights
activists, those who work in clinical settings, and others who must
sometimes deal with marginal cases.
