Biocentric universe, a concept proposed by Robert Lanza that argues biology should replace physics as the foundational science in our understanding of the universe
Martyn J. Fogg rebutted these ideas by delineating four potential rationales on which to evaluate the ethics of terraforming—anthropocentrism, zoocentrism, ecocentrism, and preservationism—roughly forming a spectrum from placing the most value on human utility to placing the most value on preserving nature.
