New planetary ethics. A postmodern intention

Abstract

Topics as the environment, use of agrochemical, transgenic seeds, displacement of voluntary or forced populations, economic migrations, utilization of human embryos for research, the growth of human population, the population planning imposed by international organizations to developing countries, they have provoked the reaction of influential sectors in humanity and are willing to implement a new planetary ethic. The intention is to invert in the populations in active age, in that they produce. These ethics raise the disappearance of cultures like Christianity wich reinforces the idea of the intrinsic dignity of every person no matter the degree of development or deterioration he or she reached. The “Letter of the Earth” proposed by the UNO wants to substitute to the former Ark of the Alliance. We are present at a struggle of cultures and values that will have to be well based in order that they persist.
