摘要: In “Moral-Ethical Character and Science Education,” Michael Mueller Dana Zeidler ground their ecojustice ethic mostly within a consequentialist theoretical framework. Consequentialism is the philosophical theory that determines morality of an action by looking at various consequences or effects produces (Troyer 2003).

For authors, it immediate act biogenetically transforming species Danio rerio into ornamental, fluorescent-glowing pet fish, “GloFish,” suspect. It is, instead, social environmental risks might, fact have, ensued from this act. response I will primarily focus on ethics what clearly forceful socioscientific issue – genetically modified organisms (GMOs) extend ethical-educational conversation started Zeidler.
