"As members of the human species, future generations is essentially the same as us." I.e. the same basic needs have and seek the same basic rights. For basic necessities I mean, at least, those things necessary for human survival: food, water, air, etc. Also included, negatively the protection conditions of destruction of life, such as extreme temperatures, poisoned or harmful levels of radioactivity environment. These needs derived directly from the most basic human right, the right to exist. There are other rights and other needs, too, but the claim to them is less powerful than claims related to life itself.
"Future generations treated his own pleasure, just as we do." Utilitarian calling this force only motivating of human activity on the basis that all the other reasons can be reduced to him. It therefore has proposed the general ethical principle that we should always try to maximize human happiness and minimize human pain. Given that people born in future generations will be being part of our species, we can boast of this principle to describe his ethics as well.So the principle applies intergenerationally.estamos morally obliged to find the maximum of all people, present and future happiness.
"One is born a generation by an accident of history." None of us chose when he or she was born.As we could have been born in any generation, there is no claim to special for our own interests.Indeed, if an impartial observer who could see all generations at once they were asked to solve these problems, he would certainly try to be fair to all generations - past, present and future. If this statement is valid for the impartial observer, shouldn't it also be valid for each generation, including our members? "Golden rule" applies not only to his contemporaries; applies as well as intergenerationally.
