Research About The Ethics Issues Of Modern Life Science And Technology

Since the latter half the 20th century, the rapid in-depth development of Life sciences has made brilliant achievements in the understanding of life, control of life and the transformation of life. In a sense, human, especially life science and technology workers are playing the role of God:they not only changed the dilemma of some organic diseases through an organ transplant, but also created species not existing in the world originally by transgenic technology. Moreover they can even get "eternal life" of hope and possibility with a copy of itself. Facing the amazing life scientific and technological achievements, human had to see "double-edged sword" effect of the development of life science, which not only brought people happiness and joy, and also the pain and trauma hard to heal. Because in the development process of human civilization, the application of many great scientific discoveries, not only brings progress to human beings, but also bring harm and potential dangersto to humans. Today science and technology development has pushed the mankind to such a situation:if the man can wisely use science and technology, then human beings will be more than ever, perfectly happy; other hand, if the human misuse of science and technology, then human will go to self-destruction. Therefore, to realize the benefit of life science for human, people must place its application in the correctly ethical control. Otherwise, life science and technology can only serve to push us into the abyss of a disaster.Starting from the dialectical relationship between bioethics and technology, using dialectical materialism and historical materialism of basic principles and methods, this paper discussed bioethical issues existing in the development of life science and technology, analyzed its root causes, evaluated the life science ethically, and finally gave some suggestions on how to avoid the ethical venture in the development of life science. Paper is divided into five parts. The first part explained how the development of life science and technology promote the advance of bioethies by understanding the content of science, technology, moral and ethics and by analyzing the background of bioethics. Science and technology is endless, and there is no end of the development of ethics. The second part analyzed the positive significance of the technological advances in life sciences to social development by understanding the meaning, content and history of the artificial assisted reproductive technology, cloning, gene technology and organ transplantation. The third Part summarized the ethical issues of human dignity, marriage and family life, and security to human life caused by the development of life science and technology. From the perspective of the lag of the ethical theory, ethics cultural diversity, the complexity of interests and the alienation of the life science and technology, the fourth part analyzed the root causes of life ethical issues. The fifth part, facing the challenges of life science development, we should follow the ethical bottom line of the application of life science research, abide by basic principles of bioethies, raise public awareness of bioethies, strengthen the ethical responsibilities of scientists, give full play to government's supervision role to defuse the risks caused by life science and technologyso and to make life science and technology truly benefit mankind.
