Abstract

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English ; abstract also in Chinese.

The cultural differences between East and West, as well as the differences in attitudes on bioethical issues, are hot topics in the international bioethics community. Scandals in biomedical research in recent years have further increased the prominence and importance of these issues. For example, high-profile cases involving head transplant experimentation and gene-edited babies have provoked international outrage, criticism, and condemnation. Among the responses, there have been reflections on the issue of “why China?” Some researchers blame cultural differences, while others argue that there is a lack of rigorous research ethics oversight in the country. In “The Real Problem With Human Head Transplantation,” it is argued that China “is a country that has a history of taking positions on bioethical issues that diverge from most commonly accepted conceptions of medical and research ethics.” (Abstract taken from first paragraph of document)

當下一系列的生物醫學醜聞以及人們對其多元的反應,突顯了更深入的跨文化生命倫理研究的重要性,以加深多元文化和宗教的理解,促進長期共存和繁榮。作為對Tham文章的拓展,本文駁斥了跨文化生命倫理比較研究中將中國文化和西方文化的簡單二元對立傳統,提出應警惕兩種錯誤傾向:沙文主義和種族中心主義傾向以及不可通約傾向。
