The bioethical dilemmas receiving the most attention in China now relate to the two ends of life: birth and death. On one end are issues relating to reproductive technology, especially birth control and family planning; at the other end is euthanasia... More research and discussion among people from various fields is needed. Progress will be made one step at a time, and I recommend that we proceed now to win acceptance of brain death criteria; to make clear the distinctions between passive and active euthanasia,...to encourage the use of living wills; and to protect the interests of newborns who are not terminally ill, including those with mild defects. In the changing context of modernization, in which different and even incompatible value systems must coexist, it is best for us to approach the ethical dilemmas facing us with mutual respect and understanding.
出生和死亡。一端是与生殖技术相关的问题,特别是节育和计划生育;另一端是安乐死……需要来自各个领域的人们进行更多的研究和讨论。一步一个脚印地取得进展,我建议我们现在着手争取人们接受脑死亡标准;明确被动安乐死和主动安乐死之间的区别……鼓励使用生前预嘱;并保护非绝症新生儿的利益,包括那些有轻微缺陷的新生儿。在现代化不断变化的背景下,不同甚至不相容的价值体系必须共存,我们最好以相互尊重和理解的态度来处理我们面临的伦理困境。
