It&#8217;s something I&#8217;ve been involved with since 2015, when I taught my first class on consent for the use of celestial objects at Yale University&#8217;s Summer Bioethics Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-human-settlement-on-the-moon\">1.

Mining the moon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The moon is already&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.org.au\/curious\/space-time\/mining-moon\">being considered<\/a>&nbsp;as a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/mining-the-moon-110744\">mining site<\/a>, or a base of operations for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/singularity\/2013\/02\/20\/why-bother-with-tiny-asteroids-when-you-have-the-moon\/\">asteroid mining<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with all mining projects on Earth, there are&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2016\/12\/26\/the-next-frontier-space-miners-are-the-universes-future-tycoons.html\">concerns<\/a>&nbsp;about environmental sustainability and whether it is appropriate for mining corporations to profit from the commercialisation of natural resources in space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-medical-research-on-the-moon\">3.

Then there&#8217;s the possibility of other medical research on the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are strict regulations for medical research in most countries on Earth, and experiments on the ISS are done under the watch of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/mission_pages\/station\/research\/experiments\/explorer\/index.html\">station&#8217;s partners<\/a>. But there is no global system in place to review whether proposed medical studies on the moon are ethically acceptable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The moon&nbsp;has always served as an inspiration for humanity, and there are many potential benefits for further exploration of our planet&#8217;s rocky satellite.
