The progress achieved during the last 25 years in the assisted reproductive technology field has been phenomenal. Many countries currently practice genetic material donation, human embryo cryopreservation, selective embryo reduction, preimplantation genetic diagnosis, and surrogacy. While embryo research and therapeutic cloning are carried out only in a few centers, thus far human cloning has been universally condemned. Nonetheless, the rapid evolution and progress of these various techniques of assisted reproduction has opened a Pandora's box of ethical issues that must be urgently addressed.
过去25年里，辅助生殖技术领域取得的进展堪称惊人。目前，许多国家都在进行遗传物质捐赠、人类胚胎冷冻保存、选择性减胎、植入前基因诊断和代孕。虽然胚胎研究和治疗性克隆仅在少数几个中心开展，但迄今为止，人类克隆已遭到普遍谴责。尽管如此，这些辅助生殖技术的快速发展和进步却打开了一个装满伦理问题的潘多拉魔盒，必须立即加以解决。
