    Summary

    The climate crisis is a "Bios emergency," necessitating a shift from traditional bioethics to "Bios-ethics." This new framework prioritizes addressing the urgent Bios emergency through conceptual and practical innovations.

    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Ethics
    • Bioethics
    • Climate Science

    Background:

    • Traditional bioethics requires re-evaluation in the face of escalating environmental crises.
    • The current ecological situation constitutes a fundamental threat to life, termed the "Bios emergency."

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose the transformation of bioethics into "Bios-ethics."
    • To establish the Bios emergency as the paramount concern for this new ethical framework.
    • To outline the foundational principles and research directions for Bios-ethics.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of existing ethical frameworks.
    • Integration of biocentrism, habitat ethics, and environmental ethics.
    • Argumentation for the necessity of Bios-ethics in the current climate emergency.

    Main Results:

    • The climate emergency is reframed as a "Bios emergency."
    • A new ethical paradigm, "Bios-ethics," is proposed to replace traditional bioethics.
    • The overwhelming priority of Bios-ethics is identified as addressing the Bios emergency.

    Conclusions:

    • Urgent conceptual and practical innovations are needed in bioethics.
    • Bios-ethics offers a necessary framework for confronting the Bios emergency.
    • Further research in Bios-ethics is crucial for ecological survival.
