造福人类的基因信息还有可能给人类带来许多烦恼。英国遗传学家哈里斯提出警告说,基因研究的突破可能制造出一批长寿不老族,从而带来人满为患的威胁以及世代之间的对立。他说,有些研究已经指向人类寿命的无限延长,以至于在未来出现一个青年人必须与上一辈的人竞争工作和生活空间与资源的社会。 虽然利用基因手段设计聪明婴儿也许会成为现实,但带来有缺陷基因的人将有可能受到歧视。也许,未来的某一天,如果一个人的DNA样本有点小毛病,公司老板就会毫不留情地把他炒掉……其实,越是贫穷的人越是难以承担改造自 Gene information for the benefit of mankind may also bring a lot of human annoyance. British geneticist Harris warned that a breakthrough in genetic research could create a long series of longevity, threatening overcrowding and antagonism between generations. He said that some studies have pointed to the infinite extension of human life expectancy so that in the future there will be a society in which young people must compete for work and living space and resources with their predecessors. Although the use of genetic means to design clever infants may become a reality, people with defective genes may be subject to discrimination. Perhaps, one day in the future, if a person’s DNA sample is a bit faulty, the boss will mercilessly fired him ... In fact, the more impoverished, the more difficult it is to undertake transformation
