Ethics and the Environment, 2000
Biocentrists endorse the equality of species. But is endorsing the equality of species compatible with maintaining the health of humans, or should at least sometimes the health of humans be sacrificed for the sake of other species? In this article, I argue for the compatibility of biocentrism and human health.
