摘要

“空间伦理”是一个包含各种各样的伦理困境的术语。例如,如果我们遇到外星生命(即使是以细菌的形式),我们应该如何对待它们,是否允许改变人类的基因,使他们更适合太空旅行,以及在太空中开采何种程度的资源是可以接受的(将小行星开采到遗忘是否可以接受?)所有这些都可以被认为是空间伦理的各个方面。在本文中,我将主要关注空间伦理的一个特定子集——我们应该或不应该如何对待地球以外的陆地环境,特别是月球。由于人们对这些问题的回答植根于他们对人类与其环境之间关系的本质的概念,我将审查空间界关于这一主题的一些主要观点,并对现状提出批评。我还将探讨可能为人类在太空的未来带来更有利结果的其他观点,以及对我们探索的陆地环境的更合理的处理,并将提供关于月球土地伦理发展的想法。

The Development of a Lunar Land Ethic
‘Space ethics’ is a term which encompasses a wide variety of ethical quandaries. Issues such as how we should treat extraterrestrial life if we encounter it (even in the form of bacteria), whether it is permissible to genetically alter humans, so that they are more suited to space travel, and what degree of resource extraction is acceptable in space (is it acceptable to mine an asteroid into oblivion?). All can be considered aspects of space ethics. In this paper, I will focus primarily on a particular subset of space ethics – that of how we ought or ought not to treat terrestrial environments outside the Earth, specifically that of the Moon. As the response people have regarding such questions are rooted in their conception of the nature of the relationship between humans and their environment, I will examine some of the predominant ideas in the space community on this subject, as well as address critiques of the status quo. I will also explore alternative perspectives which may lead to more favorable outcomes for both the future of humanity in space, as well as to more sound treatment of the terrestrial environments we explore, and will offer thoughts on the development of a lunar land ethic.
