Abstract

At the 2022 meeting of the American Society for Bioethics and Medical Humanities, a new affinity group was formed: astrobioethics. This is the branch of bioethics for space exploration, extraterrestrial environments and possible extraterrestrial organisms. Bioethics has traditionally operated from Western/Global North dominated thought structures and it is difficult to introduce alternative frameworks. However, astrobioethics is forming and is primed to include alternative frameworks, such as pre-Columbian Indigenous American philosophy/ethics and Global South frameworks and knowledge. The methods utilized include Indigenous research methodologies and standpoint, an overview of Indigenous American philosophy/ethics, and reflection on how this may impact astrobioethical considerations of space exploration. Indigenous philosophies and ethics consider space exploration and its associated risks and impacts on potential extraterrestrial lifeforms, systems and environments. The nuances of using terms like ‘colonization’ are considered and the paper concludes by considering how Méxica philosophical concepts and the four main Indigenous pragmatic dimensions can interact with established bioethical principles to guide future space exploration.
休斯顿,我们有问题…还是我们有问题?天体生物伦理学的轨迹与本土思想
在2022年美国生命伦理学和医学人文学会的会议上,成立了一个新的亲密团体:天体生物伦理学。这是空间探索、地外环境和可能的地外生物的生物伦理学的一个分支。生物伦理学传统上是由西方/全球北方主导的思想结构运作的,很难引入替代框架。然而,天体生物伦理学正在形成,并准备纳入其他框架,如前哥伦布美洲土著哲学/伦理学和全球南方框架和知识。所使用的方法包括土著研究方法和观点,对美洲土著哲学/伦理的概述,以及对这可能如何影响空间探索的天体生物伦理考虑的思考。土著哲学和伦理考虑空间探索及其对潜在的地外生命形式、系统和环境的相关风险和影响。使用“殖民化”等术语的细微差别被考虑在内,论文的结论是考虑了m西卡哲学概念和四个主要的土著实用主义维度如何与已建立的生物伦理原则相互作用,以指导未来的太空探索。

期刊介绍: International Journal of Astrobiology is the peer-reviewed forum for practitioners in this exciting interdisciplinary field. Coverage includes cosmic prebiotic chemistry, planetary evolution, the search for planetary systems and habitable zones, extremophile biology and experimental simulation of extraterrestrial environments, Mars as an abode of life, life detection in our solar system and beyond, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, the history of the science of astrobiology, as well as societal and educational aspects of astrobiology. Occasionally an issue of the journal is devoted to the keynote plenary research papers from an international meeting. A notable feature of the journal is the global distribution of its authors.
