The following article reflects on the relationship between man and the world. The world not only surrounds man, but man participates in it. This participation has various implications for research and the application of genetic engineering. The article focuses on man's restricted capacity to know and foresee all the consequences of his actions and his ambivalence for good and bad. Man must be aware of his own limits and show due concern for mankind and the world.
以下文章探讨了人与自然世界的关系。世界不仅环绕着人类,而且人类也参与其中。这种参与对于基因工程的研究和应用有着诸多影响。文章着重论述了人类认知和预见自身行为所有后果的能力有限,以及其善恶兼具的矛盾性。人类必须意识到自身的局限,并对人类和世界予以应有的关切。
