Abstract:
Bioethics is an interdisciplinary subject that initiated in the 1970s. It concerns about negative effects brought up by modern biotechnology and its revolutionary application and consequence. This essay summarizes the current research situation in China, the disputes on two of the major bioethics issues-genetics and cloning, makes a brief international comparison of public policies different countries take on bioethics issues, and indicates what Chinese government should pay more attention to in the policymaking process on bioethics: to confront the disputes, to emphasize the public participation, and enhance the transparency of public policymaking process.
