现代生命科学技术视阈下的“生”与“死”的多维思考

Multidimensional Thoughts on "Life" and "Death" from the Perspective of Life Science Technology

生命科学技术的发展越来越深入而广泛地介入到人的生死过程,不仅能改变人"生"的方式,也能改变人"死"的状态,从而使一直以来的自然的生死过程日益成为人为操纵的过程。这就促使人们在生命科学视阈下对生与死重新进行多维思考,如生之神圣的淡化、生之过程的技术化、生之构成的社会化、死之本质的探讨、死之方式的多元化、死之教育的系统化等等,这些思考无疑有益于伦理道德观念进步与生命科学技术发展的相互促进。

The natural process of life and death has been profoundly and widely involved and increasingly manipulated by the fast developed technology of life science, which could change the human beings＇ state of life as well as the state of death. Thus, human beings are motivated to think multidimensionally on life and death from the perspective of science, such as the weakening of sacredness of life, the technology employed in life, the socialization of lifestyles, the exploration of the nature of death, the pluralism of different ways of death and the systematization in the education of death. These considerations will no doubt contribute to the mutual promotion of the development of morality and the advancement of life science technology.
