社会需要明智地对待克隆人研究

“Human Cloning” Should be Dealt With Rationally

“多利”克隆绵羊的诞生,给人类社会带来巨大的震撼.政治家、新闻媒体、宗教界人士纷纷发表评论,呼吁政府立法禁止由此可能导致的克隆人的研究;一些科学家则认为,克隆人并不等于复制人,公众不必过于忧虑,恰当的做法是暂缓这类研究,以便进行更广泛的讨论.作者首先阐述动物体细胞克隆是生物技术的一个重大突破;接着,在分析人体成长三种要素的基础上,指出克隆人的目的经过认真界定之后,需要区别对待,而克隆人的研究将给人类带来巨大益处,主张人类社会应当以“有容乃大”的态度看待克隆人的研究.科学发展的历史表明.任何阻碍科学技术发展的努力都是徒劳的,人类应该相信自己有能力保证科学技术的健康发展,并最终造福于人类.

'Dolly' cloned sheep has brought about a tremendous impact on human society, leading to many calls for legislation against the potential human cloning. Some scientists, however, claim that human cloning is not equal to human duplicating, and moratorium instead of tanning may be appropriate. The author here considers 'Dolly' as a big breakthrough in biotechnology. He analyzes the three essential factors in shaping a human, pointing out that the aims of human cloning should be carefully evaluated and that some will actually bring about a great deal of benefits. He appeals to society for being lenient to inchoate matters such aa human cloning itself. History of science has proven that any effort to prevent it from development is futile. Human beings are able to ensure a healthy development of science and technology which ultimately help themselves make a better world.
