Intergenerational Distributive Justice and Environmental Responsibility
Green, Ronald M.
BioScience, 27, 4, 260-265, Apr 77
Discusses implications of distributive justice in the scientists' assumption of responsibility for the quality of life of future generations. Stresses that although scientists are obligated to the future, their efforts to improve the future quality of life must not become an excuse for neglecting their responsibility to people in the present.
