The Legislative Thoughts On Risk Prevention And Control Of Human Embryo Genetic Intervention Technology

In recent years,new technologies such as network technology,artificial intelligence,microelectronics and biotechnology have developed rapidly,flooding our lives.While enjoying the convenience and novelty that the high tech brings to life,people have also keenly sensed that these new things are bringing varying degrees of impact on existing ethical concepts,social orders and legal systems in life.Most of the science and technology,such as the human embryo genetic intervention technology,has become unstoppable.This requires us to be brave enough to meet the new technologies and the new challenges they bring.In other words,the relationship between the technology and law is like the relationship between feet and shoes.We can only constantly change shoes instead of inhibiting the growth of the feet.For overcoming intractable diseases and treating genetic diseases to give birth to a healthy next generation,human embryo genetic intervention technology is a field with infinite possibilities and expectations.However,the occurrence of the He Jiankui incident has sounded the alarm for us.The development of technology must Incorporate into the track of the law,and development under the regulation of the law can avoid irreversible catastrophic consequences.However,the hysteresis of the law makes people at a loss and not know what to do in front of the system.The contradictory relationship between technology and law will be a topic we are constantly thinking about.This article takes the human embryo genetic intervention technology as the entry point,and focuses on the legislation research on the risk prevention and control of this technology.Firstly,it explains the general theory of technical regulation and legislative regulation of human embryo genetic intervention technology,and draws the inevitability of legislative regulation.Secondly,from the perspective of legislative legitimacy and feasibility analysis,the theoretical basis of legislative regulation is explained.Then it combs the legislative evolution and current situation of human embryo genetic intervention technology in our country,and considers the reasons,thereby revealing the important significance of the precautionary principle and negotiation cogitation.Finally,based on the above full text,it is concluded that defending human dignity is the fundamental principle of genetic legislation;negotiation cogitation is a practical guide for gathering consensus and seeking legislative appropriateness;and the precautionary principle is the basic following of legislation at this stage.Furthermore,several legislative proposals are put forward for the current legislative status of the legal prevention and control of the risks of human embryo genetic intervention technology,in order to use laws to respond to the risks brought by human embryo genetic intervention technology.One of the keys to the door of the new world is science and technology.It can improve people’s living standards,but at the same time,the development of technology is also the main reason for the formation of a risky society.Regarding the development of technology,insufficient legislation regulations will lead to catastrophic consequences,and too many strict legislation activities will restrict the development of technology.While we are worried that the law-executors control too much,we are also worried that scientists are eager for quick success and gains,overturning the balance of the technology and the law.For human embryo genetic intervention technology and other high technologies,we can only innovate legislative thinking to continuously adapt to the rapid development of science and technology,let the law fully play a preventive role,and try to avoid the hysteresis.The law should build a platform for consultation between all parties as much as possible,make the development of technology and the decision-making transparent,fully disclose technical information,and place all key links under supervision.This is conducive to strengthening the propaganda of technology,reshaping social ethical habits,and promoting the formation of a social soil for technological development.In addition,always treat people as an aim but never simply a means.Any technological attempt to shake human dignity should not have a foothold in human society.This is the untouchable bottom line of technology at the legal level.
