基因工程所引发的生命生存权问题

随着分子生物学的逐渐成熟,生命科学技术朝着更微观的方向发展,以前一直被认为只能通过母代传递给子代的具有一定随机性的基因特性,不再是那么的神圣而遥不可及了。如今,科学家可以用基因技术,将某个基因片段切开,植入到任意的生命细胞中。随着基因工程的快速发展,许多相关的伦理问题也随之产生,如,人类是否有权利任意改变他人的基因,制造生命体等。该论文阐述了这一技术突破可能带来的遗传危机、生存权的问题。

With the gradual maturity of the molecular biology, life science technology goes further towards microcosm-oriented. The gene feature, whose prominent characteristic is randomness, is considered to be inherited from parental generation to filial generation, and this feature is no longer so holy and out of reach. Nowadays, the scientists can take advantages of genetic technology to cut a certain gene segment, and transplant it into any life cell. With the rapid development of the genetic engineering, quite a lot ethical issues emerge. For example, whether human being have the right to change other people's genes randomly, or produce new living things and so on. This essay discuss the problems (such as heredity hazard, right to exist) aroused from the breakthrough of genetic technology.
