摘要
贺建奎的基因编辑婴儿试验在国际社会引起一场伦理风暴。该试验因对一对健康胚胎进行基因编辑而将基因编辑婴儿露露和娜娜置于完全不可预知的健康风险之下而缺乏正当性,并因其肆意践踏基因编辑技术临床应用的伦理底线、违背有关人类受试者试验研究的基本规范而遭到科学家和生命伦理学家的强烈谴责和高度关注,并引出了许多值得思考的伦理治理问题。
He Jiankui′s Gene Edited Babies experiment caused an ethical storm in the international community. The trial is short of ethical justification by editing a pair of healthy embryos and placing Gene-Edited babies, Lulu and Nana, under completely unpredictable health risks, and has been strongly condemned and highly concerned by scientists and bioethicists for trampling deliberately the ethical bottom line on the clinical application of gene editing techniques and in violation of the basic norms of experimental research on human subjects. It has also led to many ethical governance issues worthy of consideration.
