R. M. Hare "Why I am only a Demi-Vegetarian

In this video I discuss R.M. Hare's essay "Why I am only a Demi-Vegetarian." In this essay Hare argues for a position in the animal rights debate known as Demi-vegetarianism. This is the view that a person, while not being a full vegetarian, let alone vegan, eats little meat, and is careful what kinds of meat they eat. Hare makes his argument by considering dietetic arguments in favor of Demi-Vegetarianism, Economic arguments in favor of Demi-Vegetarianism, and finally some ethical arguments in favor of Demi-vegetarianism. Hare's ethical arguments use a concept called QALY or "Quality-Adjusted Life Years." This is an interesting entry into the animal rights debate and is often popular with students, although it may be difficult to defend.
