Space tourism needs a bioethical reboot
Antonio Araújo, Liliane Elze Falcão Lins-Kusterer, Eduardo Martins Netto
Abstract
Space tourism includes a medical ‘module’, which studies physiopsychic variables of these ‘tourists’. Therefore, before sub-orbiting the Earth, this type of space travel should orbit the ethical safeguards of research. Such a premise has, as far as Sub-orbital Space Tourism is concerned, three domains: subject bioethics, social bioethics, and eco-bioethics.
