Well Peter Singer supports it and for some bizarre reason he is considered a moral authority by many lesswrongers.

Hey, Peter Singer is pretty good. Even if you don't agree with all his ideas, his reasoning is refreshingly clear and concrete for a philosopher. If you haven't read Practical Ethics, I strongly recommend it.

I'm aware that Singer basically supports the policy. I'm however not aware that he choses those semantics.
