賽繆爾.伍德博士采訪錄
I was extremely close with my morher all my life..She was a brilliant eductor ,writer and wonderful woman. Sadly, shen was developed complications related to diabetes.When she lost her eyesight and most of her ability to walk,it was absolutely horrifying for me She passed away from a fall seven or eightyears ago.At her funeral,I swore that one day I’d do something about conditions like hers.
我一生與母親無比親密,她是一位卓越的教育家、作家,是一位了不起的女士。不幸的是,她患上了糖尿病引起的并發癥。當她喪失視力和大部分行走能力時,我驚恐萬分。七、八年前她摔了一腳,便離開人世。在她的葬禮上,我發誓有朝一日要為她那樣的疾病做點什么。
Years passed and I read about the work the South Koreans had done with stem cells.In 2004 and 2005 Hwang WooSuk fraudulently repoted that he had succeededin creating human embryoniv stem cells by cloning.Back then it wasn’t kown it was a fraud,so it was very excitinh to think that a long list of diseases could be treated.
時間一年年過去了,我讀到了韓國人在干細胞方面所做的工作。在2004和2005年之間,黃禹錫謊稱他已通過克隆技術成功的培養出人類胚胎干細胞
當時人們并不知道那是造假,所以想到一長串疾病有望得到醫治,人們興奮不已。
I found the stem cell research company Stemagen with another gentleman whose father hand died of ALS.We went out for drinks one night and we started talking about our parents.We wanted to do something that would be a legacy.for them.
我與另一位先生共同創建了斯塔摩根干細胞研究公司。那位先生的父親死于肌萎縮性側索硬化。一天晚上我們出去小酌,討論起我們的父母,我們想做點什么,以此作為他們身后留下的遺產。
是福是禍?For Better or Worse?
The moment we diceded to start Stemagen,I read all there was to read about the various cloning efforts in the past.The cloned sheep Dolly in 1997was very interesting,but at that stage people were not focusing on the stemcell aspect of cloning;they were focusing on the reproductive possibilities of cloning.
一決定創建斯塔摩根干細胞研究公司,我就閱讀了有關以往各種克隆實驗的所有資料。1997年的克隆羊多利引起了人們極大的興趣。但在那個時候,人們關注的不是克隆技術的干細胞層面,而是其無性繁殖的可能性問題。
Human reproductive cloning is just simply wrong ethically from a medical standpoint and a scientific standpoint,even ignoring any religious issues associated with it.The reason is that the majority of reproductive clones in other species are actually abnormal,with very high miscarriage rates,very high stillbirth rates,fetal anomalie,death soon after birth,et cetera.
從醫學和科學的角度來看,克隆人在倫理道德上就是錯誤的,即便不去理會其相關的宗教問題,其原因在于其它物種的無性繁殖個體事實上大多數都是畸形的,流產率很高,死亡率也很高,胎兒畸形,出生不久就夭折,如此等等。
It would just be absolutely wrong to take a human being and put them through what may well involve significant suffering for really no good end.Even though people could take the techniques that we’ve developed and attenp to do it(or perhaps even be successful doing it),we hope that they would not.
讓人經受極有可能遭到巨大痛苦的事,卻又得不到什么好結果,那是絕對錯誤的。即使有人能夠利用我們研發的技術,并且試圖付諸實踐(也許可能成功),我們還是希望他們不要那么做。
On the other hand,therapeutic cloning does not involve any type of risk to human life and actually provides tremendous potential for the relief of suffering inreal human beings who are going through some awful things.
從另一方面來說,治療性的克隆技術不牽涉任何人對人生命的威脅,還能真正為正在經受痛苦的人們提供緩解痛苦的極大的可能性。
I’m a pure scientist in some ways,and I know that manyvdifferent studies or findings could be used for evil.Our job as scientist is to make the most of this technology and make it available to the greatest number of other scientists who can help us do good things with it.There’s really no effective way for an individual scientist to stop someone else from using the knowledge for something they should’t.
在某種程度上,我是一個純粹的科學家,可我知道種種研究或發現可能被用來做邪惡的事。作為科學家 我們的工作是充分利用這一技術,并且使之盡可能被多的其他科學家掌握,幫助我們做好事。對于科學家個人而言,其實沒什么行之有效的方法可以阻止他人將知識用到他們不該用的地方。
We need to be honest aboutthe techniques that we used.They need to be able to be replicated by other people,and s9,we are providing a roadmap.I would hope that the legislation that’s in place and the hreat public disapproval that would result from any attempt to clone a human would dissuade anyone from going down that path.
我們必須誠實的說明我們所使用的技術。這些技術必須能夠被他人復制,這樣,我們等于提供了一張線路圖。我希望適當的法規及公眾對于試圖克隆人的極力反對能夠勸阻任何有此企圖的人走那條路。
What is it they say?There is no technology that hasn’t been used for some evil purpose at some will attempt human reproductive cloning.I do think it’s inevitable,and it’s virtually impossible to legislate that away.
他們是怎么說的?他們說沒有一向技術不曾在某個時候為了某種罪惡目的而被利用過。坦白的說,我確實認為有人會試圖克隆人。我確實認為那是不可避免的事,而且也不可能通過立法來加以阻止。
