Utilitarianism isn't coherent. It's an absolutely untenable ethical system.

Singer himself doesn't come anywhere close to following the harsh edicts he so cavalierly decrees. He lives on far more than $30,000 a year (he states that unless you donate any income above that to alleviate hunger, you are committing murder), and he didn't manage to put a pillow over his mother's face, even after she had descended into Alzheimer's to the point where she was "no longer a person".

Singer is a joke.
