The best things said about it
I actually read a book called practical ethics which is more written for people studying philosophy at University and is a bit more dense but the effect would be the same although it's worth saying.
And I can trace that because my book practical ethics in which one chapter talks about these issues had been translated into German.
I know we talked already about practical ethics by Peter Singer and then Super intelligence by Nick Bostrom last time.

Practical ethics by Peter Singer is a prominent philosophy book that addresses applied ethical issues, including the definition of equality, the moral status of animals, and complex dilemmas surrounding life and death. On Modern Wisdom, Alex O'Connor recommended the book as a solid introduction to philosophical questioning, noting that it effectively guides readers through difficult moral inquiries. On ChooseFI, Jack Lewars mentioned reading the book in his youth, recalling that although it is written for university philosophy students and is somewhat dense, it profoundly influenced his views on vegetarianism and effective giving. Peter Singer himself discussed the book on People I (Mostly) Admire, tracing how protests in Germany regarding chapters in his book impacted its international sales and reception. Additionally, Tim Ferriss brought up the book on The Tim Ferriss Show while reviewing topics from a previous conversation with a guest.
