This theory too would support terraforming and colonization if Earth became uninhabitable. Every living thing has equal rights within biocentrism no species surpasses another. BiocentrismĬontrasting with anthropocentrism is the biocentric ethical theory, which extends rights to not just humans or higher organisms but to all living things. As a space-faring species, it would not end there-we could travel from one celestial body to another, draining each of its resources along the way and leaving a trail of desiccated planets in our wake. Under this ethical theory, humankind could potentially live out the fear of more conservative thinkers, which is that humanity may do what we have been threatening to do for centuries and destroy our environment by over-exploitation and misuse. Those resources, whether they be living or nonliving, do not have rights under the hood of anthropocentrism. The anthropocentric approach proposes that humans are indeed central we have the right to survival, and to use whatever resources that we can to our advantage. At least that is the belief of some ethical theorists, the anthropocentrists.
