Space exploration and off-world commercial activity
engage the attention of both enthusiasts and skeptics.
Despite differing opinions, what does seem clear is
that such activity has increased and is set to expand farther-
and dramatically so—during the present century.
This book explores some of the ethical issues of the
emerging space frontier and evaluates the prospects for the
medium-range future: Can terraforming of other worlds
succeed? Would it be defensible? Should there be limits to
mining in space? Do lifeless planets have an integrity that
ought to be respected? Could indigenous microbacteria
have intrinsic value? Do we have a duty to extend human
life?
The ethics of sending generation ships on interstellar
journeys and the risks associated with seeding other worlds
with rudimentary forms of life are also discussed. As
exploration is as much about humanity as it is about space,
the book concludes with a study of the connection between
the sharing of a home planet and membership of a single
moral community.
Tony Milligan is a lecturer in philosophy at the
University of Hertfordshire and specializes in ethics. |
