Abstract:
The extensive research and application of human gene editing technology have raised many ethical issues,sparking heated debates among scholars.These debates mainly manifest in three aspects,including the limitation of human autonomy in the future,the ambiguity of self-identity,and the intensification of life hierarchy.The root causes of these debates mainly lie in the complexity of the subject's ethical sense of responsibility in the subjective aspect,the negative effects of technology in the objective aspect,and the insufficient external regulations in the social aspect.These issues require the following measures to be taken to resolve,such as enhancing the sense of ethical responsibility of subject,strengthening the internal ethical supervision of human gene editing technology,and establishing an ethical supervision committee and a unified ethical governance framework.
