Playing Jesus to Save Species
The accelerating loss of biodiversity due to human activity presents a profound ethical dilemma. While conservation biology has typically focused on instrumental and intrinsic values, this paper argues for a virtue ethics approach, particularly in the context of controversial biotechnological interferences such as de-extinction. Drawing from virtue ethics, we explore whether “playing Jesus” to revive species like the thylacine can be a morally vi…
Embedded but overlooked values
Currently used sharing principles (grandfathering and final consumption expenditure) do not align with the purpose of Absolute Environmental Sustainability Assessments (AESAs)—enabling all to meet basic needs within the planetary limits. This discrepancy, though niche within life cycle engineering, demands attention due to the integration of the sharing principles in the widely adopted Science Based Targets initiative, embraced by 4000+ companies…

Deprivation as Un-Experienced Harm
Tom Regan encapsulated his principle of harm as a prima facie direct duty not to harm experiencing subjects of a life. However, his consideration of harm as deprivation, one example of which is loss of freedom, can easily be interpreted as a harm, which may not be experienced by its subject. This creates a gap between Regan’s criterion for moral status and his account of what our duties are. However, in comparison with three basic paradigms of we…
Role of Joy in Farm Animal Welfare Legislation
While animal welfare is commonly invoked in legal debates regarding non-human animals kept for food purposes, the concept of animal joy is rarely mentioned in such contexts. This paper analyzes the relationship between welfare and joy in the German animal protection law ( gapl ) and in the eu directive 98/58/ ec . Based on a review of scientific and philosophical approaches towards animal welfare, joy is argued to be a part of welfare. Neverthele…
