新兴动物增强技术的伦理风险及思想论争

Ethical Risk and Ideological Debate of Emerging Animal Enhancement Technology

在人类增强的背景下,新兴动物增强技术应运而生。文章在对学术文献的梳理、分析和研究的基础上,对新兴动物增强技术可能产生的一系列伦理风险进行了重要性筛选,选择了引起道德混乱、威胁人类尊严、损害动物福利的三大伦理风险作为研究对象,展现了科学家和伦理学家们围绕这些可以预见的伦理风险问题进行的一场争锋相对的思想论争,引述了争议双方各自提出的一些可供辩驳的主要论点。

Under the background of human enhancement,new emerging animal enhancement technology is starting to occur.Based on the review,analysis and research of academic literatures,the article prioritizes a series of ethi-cal risks that may arise from emerging animal enhancement technology,and selects three ethical risks that cause moral confusion,threaten human dignity and damage animal welfare as the research objects.This paper presents a fierce ideological debate between scientists and ethicists concerning these predictable ethical risks,and cites some of the main arguments that each side has put forward for the purpose of refutation in the controversy.
