Translational research tries to apply findings from basic science to enhance human health and well-being. Many phases of the translational research may include non-medical tasks (information technology, engineering, nanotechnology, biochemistry, animal research, economy, sociology, psychology, politics, and so on). Using common bioethics principles to these areas might sometimes be not feasible, or even impossible. However, the whole process must respect some fundamental, moral principles. The purpose of this paper is to argument the need for a different approach to the morality in translational bioethics, and to suggest some directions that might be followed when constructing such a bioethics. We will show that a new approach is needed and present a few ethical issues that are specific to the translational research.
转化研究试图应用基础科学的研究成果来增进人类健康和福祉。转化研究的许多阶段可能包括非医学任务(信息技术、工程学、纳米技术、生物化学、动物研究、经济学、社会学、心理学、政治学等等)。将常见的生物伦理学原则应用于这些领域有时可能不可行,甚至是不可能的。然而,整个过程必须尊重一些基本的道德原则。本文的目的是论证在转化生物伦理学中需要一种不同的道德方法,并提出构建这种生物伦理学可能遵循的一些方向。我们将表明需要一种新方法,并提出一些转化研究特有的伦理问题。
