This book examines the question of what we mean when we talk about
life, revealing new insights into what life is, what it does, and
why it matters. Jenell Johnson studies arguments on behalf of
life-not just of the human or animal variety, but all life. She
considers, for example, the Standing Rock Sioux tribe's fight for
water, deep ecologists' Earth First! activism, the Voluntary Human
Extinction Movement, and astrophysicists' positions on Martian
microbes. What she reveals is that this advocacy-vital
advocacy-expands our view of what counts as life and shows us what
it would mean for the moral standing of human life to be extended
to life itself. Including short interviews with celebrated
ecological writer Dorion Sagan, former NASA Planetary Protection
Officer Catharine Conley, and leading figure in Indigenous and
environmental studies Kyle Whyte, Every Living Thing provides a
capacious view of life in the natural world. This book is a
must-read for anyone interested in biodiversity, bioethics, and the
environment.
