我這學期的生醫課程會不定期提出生醫相關議題讓學生發表自己的意見. 這次的題目是要我闡述自己對biotechnology所引起之諸多道德及倫理的看法,題目自訂,對文章內容嚴謹與否則不計較,可天馬行空. 因為我的英文程度本來就不好,再加上寫作的時候對於自己的看法又三心兩意,所以雖然是寫出來了......但是我自己覺得文章的主旨失焦...... 就更別提糟糕的文法再造成讀者的誤會了囧懇請各位前輩不吝指教,感激不盡本文: Face to the Moral Debates of Biotechnology The Vatican had asserted the new "seven deadly sins" recently. Now scientists will offend God if they carry out morally debatable scientific experiments, or allowing genetic manipulations which alter DNA or compromise embryos. Indeed,in most gene recombinant experiments, the scientists have no idea whether those products, such as transgenic plants, medicines which are produced by recombinant microorganisms, are harmful to the environment and living things or not. To prevent excessive uses of biotechnology, the assertion of the Vatican may be a good alert. After all, the results of biotechnology misuses may be too dreadful to describe even to image. The alert shouldn’t be an end of biotechnology, however. All the scientists have to do is pay as much attention as they can, for fear the misuses of biotechnology. It is no use denying the fact that people need this technology to save or improve their lives. When a diabetic patient feels uncomfortable, he’ll need to take medicines which are made by recombinant bacteria carrying the specific gene. If scientists were all afraid of offending God and being taken to the hell, those diabetic patients wouldn’t have the efficient therapy. Biotechnology has already become parts of our lives invisibly. How many grains do the people of the whole world need a year? If the grains we grew were easily killed by caterpillars and beetles, would there still be enough food for the populations in earth? In fact, the most disputable issues are not only the transgenic plants that put native species in danger and lead to the proliferation of resistant insects but the ethical questions of animal cloning, especially human cloning. In my opinion, animal cloning is a wonderful thing, just like a mother give a birth. Why the saccharomycetes can reproduce their species on their own by cloning but we human can’t if the nature would accept our new reproduction pattern as it accepts the saccharomycetes’? The world is changing, and the reproduction patterns may change, too. The living way and look that we have today are not the beginning patterns as soon as we exist. A change is like a mutation in an individual. Not every mutation do harm the individuals. All we have to do is wrestle for the balance with nature. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.130.208.61
