知识、伦理与社会:现代生物科技的风险探析

Knowledge,Ethics and Society:Analysis of the Risk of Modern Biotechnology

知识、伦理、社会三个维度以及它们之间的相互作用构成了现代生物科技风险成因的基本图式。从知识维看,现代生物科技风险源于现代生物科技的复杂性和人类认知的有限性;从伦理维看,是由于现代生物科技凸显的问题与现存伦理价值观存在冲突和矛盾;从社会维看,是因为现有社会环境因素与现代生物科技的发展要求不匹配。

The multi--dimensions of knowledge, ethics, society and the interaction among them constitute a whole and basic pattern for the risk of modern biotechnology. From the perspective of knowledge, the risk of modern biotechnology derives from the complexity of modern biotechnology and the cognitive limitation of human beings; from the ethical perspective, it is due to the conflicts and contradiction between the ethical issues brought by modern biotechnology and the existing ethical values ; from the social perspective, the reason is that the development of modern biotechnology does not match present political, economical, cultural and other social environmental factors.
