“自然”能够作为支持或者反对基因编辑的理由吗?

Can "nature" be used as a reason for or against gene editing?

  • 摘要: 人们常常以“自然”论证反对或者支持对人的基因编辑。“自然”是一个模糊的指涉。“自然”一词有多重涵义,也具有多重所指。“自然”论证大致可划分为两个框架,“感恩的框架”与“创造的框架”。“感恩的框架”以形而上的“是”作为最厚重的基础,反对针对人的基因编辑。“创造的框架”则源于哲学上的自然主义,支持针对人的基因编辑。我们无法脱离“自然”论证的两大框架讨论基因编辑技术,但“自然”论证不足以作为清晰的支点。

     

    Abstract: People often use "natural" to support or oppose gene editing. "Nature" is a vague reference. The word "natural" has multiple meanings and multiple referents. The "natural" argument can be roughly divided into two frames, the "grateful frame" and the "creative frame". The "framework of gratitude" takes the metaphysical "being" as the foundation, and the "framework of creation" is derived from philosophical naturalism. We cannot discuss gene editing technology out of the two frameworks of "natural" argument, but the "natural" argument is not sufficient as a basis for clear thinking.
