Da considerabilidade moral dos seres vivos: a bioética ambiental de Kenneth E. Goodpaster

Authors

Abstract

Este artigo reconstitui a crítica e os argumentos de Kenneth E. Goodpaster contrários à proposta ética de Singer e Frankena, cujo critério definidor da linha divisória para a constituição da comunidade moral é a senciência. Goodpaster encontra limites no critério da senciência, por não ser apto a fundamentar uma ética genuinamente ambiental. Para o autor, o único critério de considerabilidade moral apto a fundar uma ética ambiental genuína é o da vida.
