人类“头移植”的伦理学探析

Ethical Analysis on Human Head Transplantation

全球首例人类尸体头移植手术在中国完成。该手术并未让中国赢得学术界的赞誉,而是引发了全球对该手术的科学质疑和伦理学担忧。以该手术为例,从知情同意及资源分配角度进行分析,得出尸体研究无法获得伦理学辩护的结论。针对可能开展的人类活体实验,从风险受益分析、自主性、分配公正和同一性四个维度进行分析和论证,明确当前开展活体实验无法获得伦理学辩护,伦理审查委员会不应批准此类研究。

The first human cadaveric head transplantation in the world has been completed in China. The sur- gery did not make China to win the praise of the academic community, but triggered global scientific doubts and ethical concerns to this surgery. Taking this surgery as an example, this paper analyzed from the perspective of in- formed consent and resource allocation, and obtained the conclusion that eadaverie research cannot get ethical de- fense. Aiming at the possible human living experiments, this paper analyzed and demonstrated from four dimensions of risk benefit analysis, autonomy, distribution justice and identity and cleared that canting out living experiments cannot gain ethical defense at present, and ethical review committee should not approve such studies.
