法律介入人类基因编辑技术的正当性研究

The Legitimacy of the Legal Intervention of Human Gene Editing Technology

人类基因编辑技术作为新兴的生物医学技术,在临床实践和应用研究中存在着技术上的不确定性,也在伦理性、公平性、合法性等方面存在社会风险。由于个体的有限理性、技术手段的缺陷、人体的复杂性以及技术、伦理、政策等不同社会路径在人类基因编辑技术治理中存在的不足,法律作为国家公器和调整人类行为的主要方式应当参与到人类基因编辑技术的社会风险治理之中,以促使人类基因编辑技术朝着服务和造福人类社会的方向发展。

As a new biomedical technology,human gene editing technology has both technical uncertainty and social risks in the aspects of ethics,fairness and legality in clinical practice and applied research.Due to the bounded rationality of individuals,the defects of technical means,the complex life characteristics of human body and the shortcomings of different social paths such as technology,ethics and policies in the governance of human gene editing technology,law,as a public tool of the state and one of the main ways to adjust human behaviors,should participate in the social risk governance of human gene editing technology,so as to shape the development of this technology,serving and benefiting human society.
