Abstract/Summary:
Gene editing technology,as the core of biotechnology,has made great achievements in the exploration of human life,which has aroused wide concern in the society.CRISPR-Cas9 human gene editing technology,because of its high precision and simple operation,has achieved great results in the fight against cancer and genetic diseases and other fields,the application of great prospects.The discovery is a milestone.The rapid development of technology is accompanied by many questions,such as the risk control of technology and many ethical issues of responsibility have not received due attention.The root cause lies in the vague orientation of the ethical subject of human responsibility for gene editing technology and the lack of sense of responsibility,and the lack of ethical supervision and imperfection of legal regulation.It is conceivable that in a society with a weak sense of responsibility,the misuse of gene-editing techniques would be devastating to humanity.In addition,with the in-depth study of gene editing technology,while showing its great application value,its potential problems and risks are beginning to appear,which also caused concern in the ethical community.In the future society,the widespread application of gene editing technology may lead to huge changes in human basic lifestyle and social life activities.The impact on traditional ethics and existing laws is huge,and it is inevitable to cause many problems.Responsibility,as a kind of moral instruction,is the inevitable result of human behavior.In today’s era,high technology can infinitely expand the scope and effects of human behavior,and the essence of responsibility has become a linear and complete obligation.Responsibility ethics is a kind of moral thinking that takes the other as a logical starting point,and is a comprehensive and three-dimensional moral thinking that is different from traditional ethics.Responsibility ethics breaks through the limitations of traditional ethical thinking,making it not only responsible for contemporary society,but also responsible for the future world.It is precisely because the ethics of responsibility has the particularity of breaking through the traditional moral thinking that it provides new solutions to the ethical problems arising from the development of contemporary gene editing technology.This article takes the development of gene editing technology and the basic connotation of responsibility ethics as the starting point,summarizes and analyzes the connotation of gene editing technology and the status quo of development in Chapters 1 and 2.In Chapter 3,according to the basic connotation of responsibility ethics The role classification puts forward the specific responsibility ethics problems that may arise in the application of gene editing technology,and systematically analyzes the causes of the problems.Then,in Chapter 4,the corresponding responsibility ethics principles and specific solutions are put forward.
