Declaration for Geotherapy and Bioethics:
Accelerating Enviornmental Degredation threathens the habilbilty of the Bioshpere. We believe that corrective action is possible and urgent.
Our goal is long term survival in an acceptably maintained ecosystem
We as human beings take full responsibility for our actions by not sacrificing natural resources for short term gains and by working to make the world a better living place
This choice will influence our biological and cultural evolution; we cannot avoid it without grave consequences
A global bioethic should further develop a guide and motivate geotherapy and our cultural evolution.
A root problem is excessive demographic growth; the earth’s carrying capacity is being exceeded. With the present style patterns of development pollution of all kinds will increase as long as the population increases.
We declare that scientists people* of all walks of life should adopt the aforementioned goals and participate in meeting at all levels to apply these principals.
