“后常规科学时代”公民参与医学科技决策诌议

Research on citizen participation in medical science and technology decision in the“post conventional science era”

传统的“政府—科学家”精英决策模式,已经不适应“后常规科学时代”医学科技发展的需要,医学科技决策不仅需要政府主管部门和医学科技专家的参与,而且需要作为利益相关者的普通公众。公民参与有利于规避决策风险、促进医学科技决策中工具理性与价值理性的融合、培养公民的参与能力。为了构建公民参与医学科技决策的有效机制,需要从转变观念、完善法律、创新方式、提升公民医学科技素养等主要方面着力。

The traditional elite decision-making model of“government-scientists”is no longer suitable for the development of medical science and technology in the“post-conventional science era”.Medical science and technology decision-making requires the participation not only of government authorities and medical science and technology experts,but also of the general public as stakeholders.Citizen participation is beneficial to avoid decision risks,to promote the integration of instrumental rationality and value rationality in medical science and technology decision making,and to cultivate citizens’ability to participate.In order to construct an effective mechanism for citizens to participate in the decision-making of medical science and technology,it is necessary to focus on changing ideas,perfecting laws,innovating ways and enhancing citizens’medical science and technology literacy.
