人类胚胎干细胞临床试验责任伦理探究

Exploration on Ethics of Responsibility of Clinical Trials in Human Embryonic Stem Cells

目前,人类胚胎干细胞的研究已经进入临床试验阶段,对医疗事业的发展有着不可替代的重要意义。但不可避免地引发了一系列伦理问题,包括对胚胎和受试者的尊重性问题,临床试验的安全性问题以及克隆问题。究其主要原因,是与试验相关的责任主体的责任感以及责任认识缺失有关。责任伦理作为科技时代的伦理观,为解决上述伦理问题提供了新的维度和伦理指导,因此有必要站在责任伦理的视角,明确各方主体的责任,通过自律和他律落实主体责任,为人类胚胎干细胞的研究和相关法律完善提供借鉴。

With the development of science and technology, research of human embryonic stem cells has conducted in clinical trials, which has an irreplaceable significance for the development of medicine. However, a series of ethical issues are inevitably aroused, including respect to the embryos, safety of the subjects, and the issues of cloning. The main reason is the lack of the cognition of responsibilities of the researchers. Ethics of responsibility provides a new dimension and ethical guidance for addressing such ethical issues in this technological era. Therefore, it is necessary to stand on the perspective of ethics of responsibility to clear the main responsibilities of the parties and fulfill the responsibilities through self- discipline and external control. Meanwhile, it will provide some reference and related laws for the research of embryonic stem cells.
