The Philosophical Thinking Toward Problems Of Genetically Modified Crops

With the development of modern science and technology, the progress of human industrialization accelerated, leading to environmental pollution, resource depletion, ecological imbalance, and seriously undermining the human environment. Genetically modified crops create huge economic benefits for human beings, but also damage the diversity of biological safety and the balance of the ecological system in a certain degree, which is also genetically modified crops used a high-tech can not be avoided. Since the birth of genetically modified crops, the controversy surrounding the pros and cons of it has never been interrupted, and the debate centered on whether genetically modified crops is harmful for human health and the ecological system. In terms of reality, genetically modified crops will result a certain destruction of ecological balance necessarily as a kind of "unnatural" products of gene transfer. But at present there has not yet been determined what consequences the destruction will bring to the development of human beings. However, It is necessary to guarantee the human life and health right by making a comprehensive safety assessment of transgenic crops, following the precautionary principle. However, we should put down the dispute to think about how to guide genetically modified crops to develop in the direction of benefiting the human society, how to explore the huge potential of genetically modified crops, how to reduce the safety risk and threats of genetically modified crops, to make it service to human survival and development better.Based on these factors, how to balance ecological degradation and food security by the development of genetically modified crops, how to build the security evaluation system of genetically modified crops, in what way to protect the patent of genetically modified crops, how to break the ethical dilemma of genetically modified crops, the above mentioned problems are the important reasons to prompt the formation of the article. This article attempts to analysis the potential benefits and possible risks of genetically modified crops, the problems caused by genetically modified crops, and the related reasons about the problems from the perspective of philosophy of science and technology. And it also avoid people to think genetically modified crops as a demon or myth, so that to make people more rational for awareness of genetically modified crops, which provide scientific support for the future of genetically modified crops research and development to provide scientific support.The article is divided into five parts. The first chapter is the introduction section of this article, the author introduce the selected topic background, including the selected topic basis, research purpose, present situation and research both at home and abroad, research ideas and methods, and thesis of innovation and inadequate. The problems are caused by Genetically modified crops(GMC) is relatively complex, previous research on GMC, mainly focused on biological technology, such as economic, social and environmental security point of view. This article cross another diameter, from the angle of philosophy of science and technology, analyzes the current problems existing in the development of GMC, and reveals the nature and reasons of the problems of GMC, to provide constructive suggestion for the further development of GMC.The second chapter is the development and prospect of GMC. Due to the development of GMC for human and social impact is immeasurable, the research of GMC has always been one of the important problems in the research of the international community. Firstly, this defines some concepts such as biological technology, transgenic technology and transgenic crops such as concept definition. And then it makes a brief introduction to the development status of GMC. Then, the article analyzes the effects of GMC from the potential benefits and potential risks of transgenic crops. Last it simply expounds the developing trends and characteristics of research on GMC. For now, the development situation of GMC is good, but due to the differences of regional economic development level, agricultural development present situation, the accumulation of gene technology, people's risk awareness, not identical, the management policy of GMC in different countries are not identical. If countries can understand influence social cognitive factors on GMC and subjects to the deepening of social cognitive research of transgenic crops, which will encourages countries on the policy-making of GMC more tension, more practical, more easy to achieve positive practical significance.The third chapter is the outward sign of problems of GMC and made a detailed analysis of its nature. Because of the GMC contains a huge development potential, and unknown risks, impact on human life growing, and some new experimental evidence to science, the international community debate r the development of GMC hotly. Controversy of GMC, mainly about whether its the hazards to human health and ecosystem, currently focuses on three aspects,which are the safety of genetically modified crops and biotechnology patent evaluation standard, food logo. The arguments about the safety evaluation standards, the identification of GMC or patent awarded the controversy of transgenic crops, in the final analysis is to public health and life security of transgenic crops, the impact of public rights and social justice. This chapter analyzes external performance and the nature of these problems, and discusses what is the main core of the dispute. Through these, we formed a rational understanding of GMC, indicate the direction to find the right solution.The fourth chapter it analyzes the causes of the issues of GMC. The production of any new things, are people's doubts and questions. As a new thing, the advent of GMC, can cause the attention of people and doubts are inevitable, on the face of it, the debate about GMC is within the scope of science debate, its security problem is the theme of the debate. However, problems of GMC is not so simple, in addition to its own limitation and the emergence of the two sides decided the dispute, the urge of economic interest and social problems of GMC for the debate played their part. The produce of these problems has profound reasons, except the limitation of science and technology itself,social and cultural factors also contributed to these problems. Based on dialysis the causes of problems, we will find out the correct way of the development of GMC to safeguard the interests of the whole of mankind, to give full play to the potential of GMC, and to achieve the win-win situation of harmonious development between man and nature.Finally, from the perspective of philosophy of science and technology, the article analyzes how should we treat genetically modified crops, how to lead towards GMC is beneficial to the direction of development of human society, properly handle the relationship between the people and GMC, realize the organic unity. According to the analysis of the cause of the problem of GMC, it puts forward the corresponding based on promoting development of science and technology, persists the organic unity of the science and technology and humanity, adhere to the principles of sustainable development, the transformation of the mode of thinking and strengthen the ethical principles and ethics and other countermeasures of the scientists, to provides a train of thought for solving the problem of GMC fundamentally.
