The Bioethics of Space Exploration provides a comprehensive discussion of the possible
bioethical issues and challenges that may arise when considering future long-term space
missions. Because of numerous threats within the space environment many consider the concept
of radically modifying humans to be a serious and perhaps even necessary option. Konrad Szocik
presents what types of ethical and bioethical challenges may await participants on commercial
scientific and colonizing missions and provides a new perspective into the potential for
radical biomedical technologies.
