摘要
高技术的推广应用引起人们对人体客体化的忧虑 ,以及对维护人的价值和尊严的关注。高新生命技术的伦理问题的特点是它对社会或人类的影响深远 ,以及在利用高新技术干预人体过程中涉及未知的、不确定的因素太多。因此必须开发新的战略调控这些高新技术的发展和应用。本文集中讨论异种移植和基因治疗中的伦理问题 ,认为对这些高新生命技术应该采取“有罪推定”的政策 ,在提供证据证明它不会给人类带来严重危害前 ,应该暂停在人体上试验 。
The application of high biotechnology has caused people’s worry about the objectification of human body and concerns for human values and dignity.The characteristics of ethical issues in high biotechnology include: its impact on society and mankind is far-reaching; and too many unknown and uncertain factors in its intervention of human body, so it is necessary to develop a new strategy to regulate the development and application of these high technologies. This article focuses on ethical issues in xenotransplantation and gene therapy, and the author argues that a policy such as “guilty until proven innocent” should be adopted, that is to say,until the evidences are provided that the application of these technologies will probably not cause serious harm to mankind, their clinical trials on human subjects should be in moratorium, but animal and in vitro experimentation are permissive.
