Way to go: Britain talks tough on stem cell research要走的路:英國談判的強硬對幹細胞研究
The Government today said: “The UN declaration is non-binding and has no legal status, but it calls on countries to prohibit all forms of human cloning.政府今天說: “聯合國的聲明是不具約束力的,並沒有法律地位,但它呼籲各國禁止一切形式的克隆人。 This is totally unacceptable to the UK government which strongly supports stem cell research, including embryonic stem cell research which involves the use of cloning technology.這是完全不能接受英國政府強烈支持幹細胞研究,包括胚胎幹細胞研究,其中涉及使用克隆技術。 Stem cell research could lead to new treatments for serious and fatal diseases that affect millions of people.”幹細胞研究可能導致新的治療方法為嚴重和致命疾病的影響以百萬計的人“ 。

If a fertilized egg is a life and using the same in research is unethical then we have lots of unethical substances more grievous in our daily life to deal with if we should call ourselves ‘ethically clean’.如果受精卵是一個生命和使用相同的研究是不道德的,然後我們有很多不道德的物質,更嚴重的在我們的日常生活中,以處理如果我們稱自己為'在道德上清潔' 。 In the first place let’s stop eating as we are killing animals.擺在首位,讓我們停止進食,因為我們是殺害動物。 Well for vegetarians, again stop eating.以及為素食者,再次停止進食。 Each leaf means life too.每個葉就是生命。 Stop all the animals from eating too to make them ‘ethically clean’ as we have laws and vetoes coming up to make us ‘ethically clean’.停止所有動物吃太多,使他們'在道德上清潔' ,因為我們的法律和否決權來使我們'在道德上清潔' 。 The animal trials of developing drugs or even generating antibodies in animals for human needs… they should be stopped too.動物試驗藥物的發展,甚至產生抗體的動物,人類的需要… …他們應該停止過。 These are ‘ethically unclean’ modes to benefit humans.這些都是'倫理的不潔'的模式,以造福人類。 Stop killing pests as they have the right to live too.停止殺死害蟲,因為他們有生存的權利。 Finally stop treatments of diseases.最後停止治療的疾病。 HIVs and microbes are living. hivs和微生物的生活。
Can we associate the term ‘ethically clean’ to our lives?我們可以聯想到'在道德上清潔'我們的生活? It’sa big ‘NO’.這是大'不' 。 And should we at all try?和我們應該在所有嘗試? Well it’sa big question to debate on.以及這是很大的問題進行辯論。 One half of us will say ‘yes’ as we have developed a brain to be more humane and more rationale beings.一的一半,我們會說'是' ,作為我們制定了腦要更加人道,更加的理據。 The other half of us will say ‘no’ stating - can we deny the fact that we are animals, however social we are?另一半,我們會說'不' ,說明-我們可以否認的事實,即我們是動物,但是我們的社會呢? In the second scenario, we have to think of ways to benefit our own race against all odds to survive.在第二種情況,我們必須想辦法,以造福我們自己的比賽對所有的賠率生存。 And the truth is the ethical activists fall in our race too.和真理是道德活動家下降,我們的種族。 They too need medication when they contract flu!他們也需要藥物治療時,他們的合約感!
If one of us develops a heart problem how would he/she feel when there’sa replacement available to get a new lease of life?如果我們中的一員開發了心臟的問題,如何將他/她覺得有更換時,可用來取得新的契約的生活呢? Well in other words stem cell research has the potential to give a new lease of life to the human race and to ‘other animals’ too.以及在其他的話幹細胞研究有可能提供一個新契約的生活,以人類和其他動物。 Any scientific advancement has an evil side to it.任何科學的進步有一個邪惡的一面。 Developing nuclear technology is essential for benefit of mankind but it has the potential to end the same mankind.發展核技術是必不可少的造福於人類,但它有可能結束人類相同。 Has that stopped us from research on the nuclear technology?已停止從我們的研究核技術? Rather we have a stringent control on research on nuclear technology.而我們有一個嚴格控制的研究核技術。 We need a control on stem cell research too.我們需要一個控制幹細胞研究。 But that doesn’t mean we need to ban the research on stem cells.但這並不意味著我們必須禁止幹細胞研究。
Abortion of fetus is still allowed in most of the countries if the fetus is prior to achieving a certain stage.流產胎兒仍是允許在大多數國家,如果胎兒是之前實現某一個階段。 In that case stem cell research is more than ‘ethically clean’.在這種情況下幹細胞研究是多'在道德上清潔' 。 Finally, who decides what is ethically clean in biology?最後,誰決定什麼是道義上清潔的生物? Being a biologist I would rather like to give that privilege to the leading biologists from around the world and not the so-called ‘ethically cleaner’ people.作為一個生物學家,我寧願想給的特權領導的生物學家來自世界各地的,而不是那些所謂'倫理的清潔'的人。
Let the brains have brains to decide on the animal we are and not be ethically subdued with bioethics.讓大腦有動腦筋,決定對動物,我們是不會在道德上制服與生物倫理。
