Professor Peter Singer, an outstanding philosopher, a great intellectual and spokesman for the rights of animals could not deliver a speech at the conference organized by the Law and Administration Department of the Warsaw University. One of the panelists – the professor at UW – discovered that professor Singer has liberal opinion on abortion and euthanasia. Prof. Magdalena Środa comments: "In the case of Professor Singer we can see the lack of understanding of what democracy, university, and academic debate are. One can see opportunism of authorities and cowardice of individuals, who are unable, who do not want, or are simply afraid of standing up for freedom and pluralism, which the University should be the spokesman for".
