Way to go: Britain talks tough on stem cell research要走的路:英国谈判的强硬对干细胞研究
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������天说: “联合国的声明是不具约束力的,并没有���律地位,但它呼吁各国禁止一切����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.这是完全不能接受英国政府强烈支持干细胞研究,包括胚胎干细胞研究,其中涉及使用克隆技术。 Stem cell research could lead to new treatments for serious and fatal diseases that affect millions of people.”干细胞研究���能导致新的治疗方法为严重和致�����病的影响以百万计的人“ 。

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’.如果受精卵是一个生命和使用相���的研究是不道德的,然后我们有很多不道德的物质,更严重的在我们的日常生活中,以处理如果我们称自己为'在道德上清洁' 。 In the first place let’s stop eating as we are killing animals.摆在首位,让我们停止进食,因为我们是杀害动物。 Well for vegetarians, again stop eating.以及为素食者,再次停止进食。 Each leaf means life too.每个叶就是生命。 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’.停止所有动物吃太多,使他们'在道德上清洁' ,因为我们的法律和否决���来使我们'在道德上清洁' 。 The animal trials of developing drugs or even generating antibodies in animals for human needs… they should be stopped too.动物试验药物的发��,甚至产生��体的动物,人类的���要… …他们应该停止过。 These are ‘ethically unclean’ modes to benefit humans.这些都是'伦理的不洁'的模式,以造��人类。 Stop killing pests as they have the right to live too.停止杀死害虫,因为他们有生存的权利。 Finally stop treatments of diseases.���后停止治疗的疾病。 HIVs and microbes are living. hivs和微生物的生活。
Can we associate the term ‘ethically clean’ to our lives?我们可以联想到'在道德上清洁'我们的生活? It’sa big ‘NO’.这是���'不' 。 And should we at all try?和我们应该在所有尝试? Well it’sa big question to debate on.以及这是很大的���题进行辩��。 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,我们会说'是' ,作为我们制定了脑要更加人道,更加的���据。 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,我们会说'不' ,���明-我们可以否认的事���,即我们是动物,但是我们的社会呢? In the second scenario, we have to think of ways to benefit our own race against all odds to survive.在第二种情况,我们必须想办法,以���福我们自己的比赛对所有的赔率生存。 And the truth is the ethical activists fall in our race too.和真理���道德活动家下���,我们的种族。 They too need medication when they contract flu!他们也需要药物治疗时,他们的合约感!
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?如果我们中的一员开发了心脏的问题,如何���他/她觉得有更换时,可用来取得新的契约的生活呢? 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.以及在其他的话干细胞研究有可能提供一个新契约的生活,以人类和其他动物。 Any scientific advancement has an evil side to it.任何科学的进步有一个���恶的一��。 Developing nuclear technology is essential for benefit of mankind but it has the potential to end the same mankind.发展核技术是必不可少的造福于人类,但它有可能结束人类���同。 Has that stopped us from research on the nuclear technology?���停止从我们的研究核技术? Rather we have a stringent control on research on nuclear technology.而我们有一个严格控制的研究核技术。 We need a control on stem cell research too.我们需要一个控制干细胞研究。 But that doesn’t mean we need to ban the research on stem cells.但这并不意味着我们必须禁止干细胞研究。
Abortion of fetus is still allowed in most of the countries if the fetus is prior to achieving a certain stage.流产胎儿仍是允许在大多数国家,如果胎儿是之前实现��一个阶��。 In that case stem cell research is more than ‘ethically clean’.在这种情况下干细胞研究是多'在道德上清洁' 。 Finally, who decides what is ethically clean in biology?最后,谁决定什么是道义上清洁的生物? 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.作为一个生物学家,我宁���想给的特权领导的生物学家来自世界各地的,而不是那些所谓'伦理的清洁'的人。
Let the brains have brains to decide on the animal we are and not be ethically subdued with bioethics.让大脑有动脑筋,决定对动物,我们是不会在道德上制服与生物伦理。
