基因编辑伦理的知识脉络与发展趋势

The Knowledge Context and Development Trends of Gene Editing Ethics

基于Web of Science数据库文献,运用Citespace101软件,从发文量、国家与机构、作者、期刊、引用文献和关键词等多个角度对基因编辑伦理研究进行分析,梳理基因编辑伦理的历史发展、方向与内容,探寻基因编辑伦理的未来发展趋势。研究发现:(1)基因编辑伦理研究内容从非人类基因编辑转向人类基因编辑;(2)基因编辑伦理的研究方式由被动介入转向主动介入;(3)基因编辑伦理的研究方法由原则主义向实证主义转变;(4)基因编辑伦理的研究层次由个别国家学者主导转向全球广泛参与;(5)基因编辑伦理的未来研究方向可从研究对象、道德行为主体、伦理审查制度、伦理研究专题等方面进行深入研究。

Based on Web of Science databases,CiteSpace101 was used to visualize the gene editing ethics research in terms of publications,countries,institutions,authors,cited journals,references and keywords,so as to sort out the historical development,direction and content of gene editing ethics,and to explore the future development trends of gene editing ethics.The research found that(1)the content of studies has changed from non-human gene editing to human gene editing,(2)the research mode has changed from passive intervention to active intervention,(3)the research method has changed from principle to positivism,(4)the research level has changed from domination by scholars from a few countries to global participation,and(5)the future research directions point to in-depth studies covering the research object,the moral behavior subject,the ethical review system and related ethical topics.
