基因编辑的民法伦理边界

The Boundary of Gene Editing in Civil Law Ethics

基因编辑在精准医疗、改善人类健康方面意义重大,同时也存在巨大的伦理、道德和法律风险。基于民法视域讨论现代生物医学背景下的生命伦理,可以发现,基因编辑在生命平等、代际平等、社会公平和人类发展等层面存在潜在风险。因此,在技术安全性得以确认的基础上,应将以人为本原则和风险预防原则设定为基因编辑的民法伦理边界。

Gene editing holds significant importance for precision medicine and the enhancement of human health.However,it also entails considerable ethical,moral,and legal risks.Based on the perspective of civil law,it can be found that gene editing poses potential risks in terms of life equality,intergenerational equality,social equity,and human development in the context of modern biomedical ethics.Therefore,upon the assurance of technological safety,the principles of human-centricity and risk prevention should be established as the ethical boundaries of gene editing ethics within civil law.
