In their jointly written book, From Chance to Choice: Genetics and Justice, Allen Buchanan, Dan Brock, Norman Daniels and Daniel Wikler defend 'the development and deployment of genetic intervention technologies..', including genetic enhancements, against charges that they exacerbate injustice. The present paper examines some of their arguments. The first section shows that the authors confuse real societies with just societies. The second shows that without this confusion, their arguments reveal the enormous justice-impairing potential of deploying genetic enhancements in such societies as the United States.
在他们合著的《从机遇到选择:遗传学与正义》一书中,艾伦·布坎南、丹·布罗克、诺曼·丹尼尔斯和丹尼尔·维克勒为“基因干预技术的开发与应用……”(包括基因增强)进行辩护,反驳关于这些技术会加剧不公正的指控。本文审视了他们的一些论点。第一部分表明,作者们将现实社会与公正社会混为一谈。第二部分表明,若没有这种混淆,他们的论点揭示了在美国这样的社会中应用基因增强技术所具有的巨大的损害正义的潜力。
