合成生物学技术发展带来的机遇与挑战

Opportunities and Challenges from the Development of Synthetic Biology Technology

何为合成生物学,何为合成,这些都是理解合成生物学技术的最基础的概念,在理解概念的基础上才可能去追问他们给人类生活带来了哪些机遇和我们必须迎接怎样的挑战。合成生物学技术的两面性,使得我们必须对其风险评估进行考量,才有可能进行有效的监管,这就要求从事人文社会科学的学者对其中存在的法律、哲学、伦理、社会等问题进行研究,为有效的政策制定提供可行的理论依据。

The concepts of synthetic biology and synthesis are the most basic ones to understand synthetic biology technology.Only on the basis of understanding the concept can we ask what opportunities they bring to human life and what challenges we must meet.The dual nature of synthetic biology technology makes it possible for us to regulate the risk assessment effectively,which requires scholars to be engaged in other humanities to study the legal,philosophical,ethical and social problems in synthetic biology technology,and provide a feasible theoretical basis for effective policy formulation.
