道德选择问题的再思考——从网络热搜上的“超雄综合症”谈起

Rethinking the Problem of Moral Choice—Starting from the Topic of “Supermale Syndrome” on the Internet Hot Search

在微博话题“超雄综合症”下面,多数人认为超雄综合症患者从基因上就决定了其反社会型的人格,极有可能会对社会安全造成极大威胁,因此为了社会的和谐安定,孕检中查出婴儿携带超雄基因的,都应该及时终止妊娠。该话题也引发了关于道德问题的热议,道德选择和道德判断,不能因为基因就被提前定义,道德的形成基于后天的环境影响,我们在受道德情感影响的同时,要以道德理性为指导,助力我们做出真实的、公正的道德选择和判断。

Under the topic of “Supermale syndrome” on Weibo, most people believe that the anti-social personality of patients with supermale syndrome is determined by their genes, which may pose a great threat to social security. Therefore, in order to maintain social harmony and stability, pregnant women who are found to carry supermale genes should terminate their pregnancies in time. The topic also triggered a heated debate on moral issues. Moral choices and moral judgments cannot be defined in advance because of genes. The formation of morality is based on the acquired environmental influence. While we are affected by moral emotions, we should take moral reason as the guide to help us make true and just moral choices and judgments.
