There is an account in the Hastings Center Report for November/December
1991: Bettina Schoene-Seifert and Klaus-Peter Rippe, "Silencing the Singer:
Antibioethics in Germany." pp. 20-27.
Singer's own report on the protests, especially his dis-invitation from the
Wittgenstein conference, appeared in the New York Review of Books for August
15, 1991.
