The bioethics chair [[Peter Singer]] once stated that human babies have no more a right to life than pigs and chimpanzees. Owing to this, atheists generally have little problem with either [[eugenics]] or using aborted embryos as fuel for heating hospitals.<ref>[https://www.spectator.co.uk/2014/04/ethics-for-atheists/# Would human life be sacred in an atheist world?]</ref> As such, a large part of their beliefs in these actions, and their amorality, is due to their belief in [[determinism]].<ref>[http://www.godandscience.org/apologetics/atheism_determinism_morality.html Does Atheism (Determinism) Negatively Impact Morality?]</ref>
