Members of the current generation have property rights in the re¬sources of the earth, but it may be that these resources will be needed by future generations whose currently nonexistent members cannot ask us to protect their interests. Clearly present property rights are morally significant. But how can the fundamental interests of future persons be weighed against current fundamental rights? The question is of immediate importance. Current environmental legislation often restricts individuals’ right to develop property or to exploit resources. In Michigan, developers who legitimately own crucial wetlands regions have been denied the legal right to drain and build on their land. In Arizona, there is considerable pressure on the legislature to protect fragile desert ecosystems by prohibiting certain kinds of development. How can we measure the importance of current property rights against the interests of people who don’t even exist yet?
