Abstract:
Since the fundamental breakthrough in human genomics,gene diagnosis and gene therapy have become a hotspot technology in disease diagnosis and treatment.Scientists in UK and USA have applied the technology of gene screening consecutively to give birth to babies knocked out certain virulence genes,which triggered heated and controversial debates on gene screening technology.How should we see this novel technology,a new hope for human life and health,or a misfortune disaster? What attitude should we hold towards gene screening,to ban it all round,or to take scientific advantage of it? This paper brings forward a series of issues related to the novel technology of gene screening.
