What is Astroethics
Astroethics is the branch of ethics that concerns itself with considering, discussing, and interacting with intelligent extraterrestrial life in a moral and altruistic manner.
Drawing from philosophy, theology, history, and law, it is the goal of astroethicists to develop a framework of thought regarding intelligent extraterrestrial life that takes into account other ethical systems that may be found throughout the galaxy rather than viewing it solely through our Earthly lens.
