Abstract

[Because evolution is continuous, this chapter presents two plausible scenarios regarding the future. One scenario envisions the continuing ability of those in power to eviscerate mechanisms that hold them accountable to a moral standard. The second envisions a future where the notion of rights is extended far beyond that of the human species. Implications for morality in the present day are considered.]
