保罗·俄福勒: 设计婴儿的道德困境

设计婴儿的道德困境

创造一个基因编辑的人类已经不再是科幻小说中出现的场景了，而是对未来真实生活画面的设想。生物学家保罗俄福勒预测，15年后，科学家们可以用基因编辑技术将人类胚胎“升级”——从改变人体相貌到防止自身免疫病的发生。在这场发人深思的演讲中，俄福勒向我们介绍了即将到来婴儿设计革命，以及这场革命可能引发的极私人的，无法预料的后果。

Gene editing technology like CRISPR is making it possible for parents to select genetic traits in their children, leading to the real prospect of 'designer babies' within just fifteen years. One imagined scenario shows a natural child feeling left behind as her genetically enhanced friend excels. The technology promises health benefits and disease immunity, but raises unsettling questions about social divides, government intervention, and unintended consequences. The future of humanity may pivot on choices made in the next few years.
