New Report on Long Duration Health Ethics
NASA Should Use an Ethics Framework When Making Decisions About Health Standards For Long Duration and Exploration Spaceflights
“NASA should use an ethics framework when deciding whether, and under what conditions, spaceflights that venture outside low Earth orbit or extend beyond 30 days are acceptable if they do not meet current health standards, says a new report from the Institute of Medicine, the health arm of the National Academy of Sciences.”
It’s puzzling what they really are trying to say. Obviously there are risks. What is an ethical approach? Has someone approached them in an unethical manner?
