一位生物伦理学家想要知道,生殖技术是否会产生“改良的”新人类。著名伦理学家和哲学家彼得·辛格(petersinger)在给1985年2月号《科技创业》美国版的文章《技术和生殖:我们应该走多远?》中这样写道:“人类的生殖方式将迎来一场革命。它和让原子弹出现的物理学革命性在很多地方可以相提并论。”辛格笔下的“革命”指的是当时刚产生的一波生殖技术。这些技术已经在当时的7年前成功地让第一个在子宫外受孕的人类婴儿诞生。辛格认为,借助试管婴儿、基因疗法等先进的技术,“人类也许有一天可以重塑自己。”
A bioethicist wants to know if reproductive technology will produce “improved” new humans. Petersinger, a well-known ethicist and philosopher, writes in his article entitled “Technology and Reproduction: How Much Should We Go?” In the February 1985 edition of the American edition of Science and Technology: “Human The way of reproduction will usher in a revolution that is comparable to the physical revolution that allowed the atomic bombs to emerge. ”“ Singh’s ”revolution“ refers to a wave of reproductive technology that was just emerging. These techniques have succeeded in giving birth to the first human infant conceived outside the womb seven years ago. Singh believes that with advanced technologies such as IVF, gene therapy, ”humans may one day be able to reshape themselves."
