Jonathan Glover is a British
In "Humanity: A Moral History of the Twentieth Century", published in 1999, Glover makes the case for Applied Ethics. He examines the various types of atrocity that were perpetrated in the 20th century and considers what sort of bulwarks there could be against them. He allows that religion has provided bulwarks, which are getting eroded. He identifies three types of bulwark. The two more dependable are sympathy and concern for human dignity. The less dependable third is Moral Identity: "I belong to a kind of person who would not do that sort of thing". This third is less dependable because notions of moral identity can themselves be warped, as was done by the Nazis. The book is tantalising in that it does not go on to consider how such bulwarks could be strengthened: whether it is feasible, for example, for national armies to teach soldiers that there are things they must not do no matter how grave the seeming provocation.
In 1977 he argued that to call a foetus a human person was to stretch the term beyond its natural boundaries.
