There is an emerging consensus among scientists, ethicists, and public health officials that substantive and effective engagement with communities and the wider public is required prior to releasing genetically modified mosquitoes into the environment. While there is little disagreement about the need for community and public engagement prior to releasing genetically modified mosquitoes into the environment, two important issues have not been resolved, namely: defining the community and dealing with potential conflicts between the community and the wider public. This commentary addresses these unresolved issues.
科学家、伦理学家和公共卫生官员越来越达成共识,认为在将转基因蚊子释放到环境中之前,需要与社区和更广泛的公众进行实质性和有效的接触。虽然在将转基因蚊子释放到环境之前需要进行社区和公众参与这一点几乎没有争议,但有两个重要问题尚未解决,即:定义社区以及处理社区和更广泛公众之间潜在的冲突。本评论文章讨论了这些未解决的问题。
