The rights of animals and unborn generations

Abstract

Technological advances have significantly increased the number of people who can experience a good life, and have allowed many more to live at least a marginal existence. This does not mean, however, that technology is producing a better life for the privileged members of society; in fact, technology has the potential to introduce new problems and dangers. For example, the development of automobiles has allowed for unprecedented mobility but has also resulted in the destruction of natural environments and the pollution of the air and water. Furthermore, technology has made luxuries commonplace for large numbers of people, but these luxuries are not essential to life on a high level. – AI-generated abstract
