1 00:00:00,870 --> 00:00:09,120 Rapid advance and genetic editing technologies had the capability to alter the core, 2 00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:18,720 animate or humanise its genetic make up itself, and thus engineer future generations. 3 00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:34,440 Since the technology of CRISPR-Cas9 was developed in 2013, 22 scientists have pioneered initiative, connection to home and projects, as we all know. 4 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:46,200 25th November last year, on the eve of the Second International Summit on Human Genome Editing Gene Kelly, 5 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,150 a U.S. trained biophysicist working in China, 6 00:00:51,630 --> 00:01:01,620 a young scientist announced in English via YouTube, offered a birth of what world's first thinking ed babies. 7 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:10,409 The news sparked an international outcry that a field art or scientific advance probably 8 00:01:10,410 --> 00:01:18,930 not even the birth of first IVF baby occurred in this country had pen unveiled as the 9 00:01:18,930 --> 00:01:26,550 first effects were layered yet to become clear that the experiment will keep the secret 10 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:34,530 until a few weeks after twins spurs why United International and a Chinese guide denies. 11 00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:44,850 And Biologic Genetic Research, U.S.A. basic reforms and the fundamental role of scientific investigation. 12 00:01:46,180 --> 00:01:57,580 Two twin girls face various risk risks and the two edited genomes enter the human gene pool and may be passed on to future generation. 13 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:09,790 Meanwhile, in June this year, a Roswell scientist biologist claimed that that human to produce more gene edited babies. 14 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:24,600 By the end of this year. You hit right in her head. 15 00:02:24,630 --> 00:02:31,700 You said to work a second time to refer creation of pitching ed to commence toward each her 16 00:02:31,710 --> 00:02:39,750 needs and most of your means to the material production that Kansas producing in fact corrects. 17 00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:46,320 You hit a single minded effort to make or produce towards first stitching. 18 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:56,160 Edit the babies. Oh General, you had given toward a paradigm case of A to demonstrate to most of you to most 19 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:04,180 the way with the ways how a scientific project cooperates almost every ethical 20 00:03:04,180 --> 00:03:10,889 norm of biomedical research to numerous and the tongue to ethical challenges horse 21 00:03:10,890 --> 00:03:18,390 experiments pose for China and its award can be mapped out in four categories. 22 00:03:19,470 --> 00:03:26,250 First problem associated with a research ethics seeking ethical questions, 23 00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:36,840 redirecting to the heritable human genome editing and its application thorough to broader historical, 24 00:03:37,020 --> 00:03:41,970 social, political, cultural, transcultural and global issues. 25 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:51,570 And to force you were more fundamental questions regarding to molecules of biotechnology and the medicine in general. 26 00:03:52,290 --> 00:04:03,089 Why your ecosystem research? Its largely concerning first under second dimensions and Professor Jan Dr. Tom Hare. 27 00:04:03,090 --> 00:04:15,120 And people here are needing international discussion about the second dimension, the ethical issues about human gene editing in this talk. 28 00:04:15,310 --> 00:04:20,400 I'm a folks about a sort of dimension and a touch to force one. 29 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:31,510 My presentation, aiming to offer a real life social ethical inquiry into Hodgson case genetic misadventure. 30 00:04:32,290 --> 00:04:37,570 On the need to change the model of engineering life through science and technology. 31 00:04:38,170 --> 00:04:45,820 I must start with a critique of popular packaging, adequate ways of responding to a case of project quake. 32 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,030 Jiang Islet 9029. 33 00:04:49,390 --> 00:05:01,600 Some key elements of political, social and historical background, including China's social practice of use and eugenics and recent years. 34 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:13,870 The state of science efforts, as well as the geological foundations such as synthesised the nationalism, scientism and social Darwinism. 35 00:05:14,410 --> 00:05:25,720 I will also point out polyphony points out to global contexts of project genetic experiments under the Chinese model of engineering life. 36 00:05:26,170 --> 00:05:34,360 In the third and final part of operation, he discussed the need for a divine sin, a social bioethics. 37 00:05:37,740 --> 00:05:42,840 It's not what I'm going to present. 38 00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:45,870 It's very much a piece of work in progress. 39 00:05:46,140 --> 00:05:57,270 And it also part of what to me, a non philosopher, what to say about this topic within and outside of China. 40 00:05:57,540 --> 00:06:04,560 One common response to this case. It's to view him as a rogue scientist in this view. 41 00:06:04,770 --> 00:06:15,030 Yet what's most than the argument for any due to recklessness or even naivete that core conducted its outrageous experiment. 42 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:24,809 It's a perennial injury, official Close told investigation by a team of Guangdong province takes this approach so well. 43 00:06:24,810 --> 00:06:30,180 Operate for a pot nest on one page issued by Xinhua News. 44 00:06:30,540 --> 00:06:45,270 One of China's official mouthpieces concluded that to pursue personal fame and again I quote her had avoided a supervision race to fund 45 00:06:45,570 --> 00:06:56,790 and organised a researcher on its arm to carry out of the home and brought law and genetic and research intended for reproduction, 46 00:06:57,150 --> 00:07:00,690 which is banned by Chinese law. End of quote. 47 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,480 To be fair to the Chinese authorities, 48 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:13,920 they have also earlier this year issued a draft new national regulation on what do you call the high technology biotechnologies. 49 00:07:14,550 --> 00:07:20,460 That's a great move. Yeah, testing the brain. 50 00:07:20,490 --> 00:07:23,520 Unhook himself and long of a school. 51 00:07:23,550 --> 00:07:30,540 Wider responsibility of the university and other relevant authorities for its action, 52 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:43,260 thus missing out and important the opportunity to critically in the institutions and a culture of scientific research in China dichotomy. 53 00:07:43,670 --> 00:07:53,010 John Carter said to been long, noted pervasive and still in the way of characterising cultural differences. 54 00:07:53,310 --> 00:08:05,430 When the world's first research on gene editing and four years by Chinese scientists, what's published in an international journal in 2015, 55 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:16,290 a report in New York Times captures a key issue involved as a scientific divide between China and the West. 56 00:08:17,070 --> 00:08:21,060 Two article cites a medical essayists in China. 57 00:08:21,270 --> 00:08:34,800 Unanimous says, I quote to read the non in the West and the China on not to see me not ethics are a question of culture and that it's about tradition, 58 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,190 especially where it touched on human life. 59 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:46,530 Confucian ethics says that some one become a person after they are born a Christian. 60 00:08:46,530 --> 00:08:54,089 It's up towards referring to friends of one Wolf, the founder of Confucianism says human beings, 61 00:08:54,090 --> 00:09:05,970 as began when they are when they are born, even see is actually the minority view for Confucianism about this matter. 62 00:09:06,270 --> 00:09:12,940 But we need to add to hopefully in discussion part when the facts are discussed that 63 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:18,120 it's a different United States or other country which are Christian companions. 64 00:09:18,390 --> 00:09:23,000 Where to because of religion to me for your research and below. 65 00:09:23,050 --> 00:09:33,360 Yes it's not okay. And to again Professor John in Dr. Palm and your collaborators had originally 66 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:39,870 offered ethical defence for such research conducted by Chinese scientists. 67 00:09:40,230 --> 00:09:46,950 Arguably such research on gene editing and the lawyers in general. 68 00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:55,770 And yet this year an article used to make it in foreign policy by a researcher with the Chinese origin continue to promote and it that 69 00:09:56,100 --> 00:10:10,190 China were always be bad in ethics in quotation hodja quite a genetic misadventure appears to provide more compelling evidence that 70 00:10:10,210 --> 00:10:21,240 to China is a radical order of the West and via demand whereby by ethics matter matter however tasty to law to the right way to proceed 71 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:32,310 because evidence that's not to support to be and its risks over score and a real issue that human gene editing in China raises. 72 00:10:40,260 --> 00:10:46,080 Immediately after the news counter, Gene edited The babies come out for a couple of months. 73 00:10:46,410 --> 00:10:57,150 I have been closely following general news report commentaries and posts on Channel eight and the International Mass Media via by law and Google, 74 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:03,180 as well as on China's major social media platform, label and WeChat. 75 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:11,910 I've been deeply impressed by remarkable Chinese tendency in questioning and condemning hostile experiment, 76 00:11:12,180 --> 00:11:20,310 and the Chinese reaction are remarkably similar to those in the West, including the words used. 77 00:11:20,670 --> 00:11:28,530 Ethical reading appeared even share two fundamental principles and the intrinsic value of life. 78 00:11:29,010 --> 00:11:35,780 And it's a more the goal of science and medicine, among many other indications, almost daily. 79 00:11:36,540 --> 00:11:40,410 Instantly over 100 Chinese dissenters. 80 00:11:40,590 --> 00:11:49,110 You showed their passionate public statement that they have firmly and strongly condemn hostile experiment. 81 00:11:50,430 --> 00:11:56,760 War. You send a condemnation to China towards under phrases used by scientists to authorities 82 00:11:56,910 --> 00:12:02,880 and general public in China are remarkably similar to those used in western mass media. 83 00:12:03,420 --> 00:12:07,409 So you include more restrained and descriptive terms. 84 00:12:07,410 --> 00:12:15,090 Such unethical, immoral, wrong, irresponsible, reckless, shocked or extremely shocked, 85 00:12:15,090 --> 00:12:26,550 as the Chinese phrase over they are says to also include a stronger and more emotive one who has been described as mad, 86 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:37,170 scientific madman, lunatic and hates experiment as monstrous, disgusting riposte in common. 87 00:12:37,350 --> 00:12:41,280 Cruel, barbaric. Again, professor. 88 00:12:41,370 --> 00:12:51,260 Audience first. The response by condemns the experiment to be monstrous that's been reported in the mass media world worldwide. 89 00:12:52,110 --> 00:13:00,450 Your readers response are to journal news reports and to Social Media Unit 73 one and the Japanese doctors. 90 00:13:00,450 --> 00:13:07,500 Human experimentation in wartime in China had spent you more time and again especially new readers. 91 00:13:07,710 --> 00:13:15,060 Commentaries to the Journal gets the report under the title of a very provocative online commentary, 92 00:13:15,090 --> 00:13:22,380 which first appear on some popular label site called At 19 Tonight. 93 00:13:24,380 --> 00:13:35,510 You walk to West and you express what's home you know home and research where hard used to describe but as contemporary paternot who you sitting naked 94 00:13:35,510 --> 00:13:48,960 whole you describe as using gene editing to sacrifice baby snot for his dream of Nobel Prize to Nazi predation monger who also experiment on twins. 95 00:13:49,250 --> 00:13:59,270 It's a fondness long EU-China. Otherwise, the Oscar might refer to Joseph Langan in Why to China to Society. 96 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,740 Their immediate response seems to be more mixed. 97 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,430 More is about to turn on the issue of human gene editing. 98 00:14:08,060 --> 00:14:23,300 Over 36,000 readers who respond to the surly question at the end of the initial positive report in the People's Daily Now report removed 99 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:39,530 38 opposed it because a major fears associated with ethical problems 37 would neuter for now because one does not know what will happen. 100 00:14:39,890 --> 00:14:52,940 Opening Pandora's Box and 25 indicate support for you because it may reduce the risk of serious diseases. 101 00:14:58,210 --> 00:15:01,270 As I see it, these are two popular approach. 102 00:15:01,510 --> 00:15:11,649 I'm mistaken, or at least again, adequate, because academically speaking, to dismiss is a necessary study of why the political, social, 103 00:15:11,650 --> 00:15:25,570 cultural and historical context of huge enclaves genetic misadventure so often to offer mistaken losses and missed out real and difficult questions. 104 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:33,729 You walk this question in crowd why heads ethics field so dramatic in the hall and I 105 00:15:33,730 --> 00:15:39,940 was a hall and the heads team able to carry out the experiment underway in China. 106 00:15:40,450 --> 00:15:47,740 What are the key political and the sort of forces shaping home and gene editing in China and the Chinese 107 00:15:47,750 --> 00:15:57,400 responses to what to eat to global context of their paradigm and Chinese case of scientific misconduct. 108 00:15:57,940 --> 00:16:08,019 These are extremely complicated. QUESTION So to call upon many in-depth public and academic inquiries from a 109 00:16:08,020 --> 00:16:15,190 broader sociological and historical perspective horse genetic misadventure, 110 00:16:15,430 --> 00:16:18,880 it's unsurprising and surprising for me. 111 00:16:22,690 --> 00:16:32,709 Editing genomes of otherwise healthy employers for nature of resistance to HIV could constitute an 112 00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:41,680 Erfurt of particular eugenics enhancing genetic to make up rather them to can and inconsistent disease. 113 00:16:42,430 --> 00:16:49,140 Eugenics is a knife and aware in China as many other parts of the world. 114 00:16:49,700 --> 00:16:59,049 It was imported in China towards the computer from the West and where you step new academically and associated into first half of punches. 115 00:16:59,050 --> 00:17:08,440 Century. Only during a mouse regime under Sophia to introduce what a eugenic contempt support 116 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:15,910 your law and until the evolutionary pseudoscience feeds post-mao from the outset. 117 00:17:16,090 --> 00:17:25,060 China's ambitious antigen processing population control program implemented over the past two four decades had to have 118 00:17:25,090 --> 00:17:36,579 to sink four goals controlling the quantity of the population and enhancing two quantity of population just together. 119 00:17:36,580 --> 00:17:44,980 What's a one child to punish see which I think everyone you know until you done entrepot of probably some of you did not know yet 120 00:17:45,220 --> 00:17:56,380 that eugenics has been one of the two essential components of China's massive modern project of demographic and social engineering. 121 00:17:57,190 --> 00:18:06,429 Why you have the one child upon yourself to repress the buy to child per family policy united 2000 to 15 using eugenics. 122 00:18:06,430 --> 00:18:15,280 That's a state of policy and a widespread social practice continues condensed no to hair in China, 123 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:24,309 its context use and includes a wide range of practices yet again coloured as a safe state that eugenics in 124 00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:31,690 which the state and encourage and even somehow pressure the use of medical measures to enhance its agenda. 125 00:18:31,690 --> 00:18:41,360 No quality of population in 2009 to 4 China issued and law which was originally understood to forward in the 126 00:18:41,380 --> 00:18:53,880 court eugenics law and soon changed and UEFA made as law maternal under your mental health impact healthcare. 127 00:18:53,890 --> 00:19:07,360 Maternal and infant health care. In the recent years, the Chinese state has given more and more efforts to develop various programs, 128 00:19:07,570 --> 00:19:12,640 including genetic screening to reduce birth defects. 129 00:19:13,270 --> 00:19:20,650 Nationwide Effort, U.S. and child contact also central to what the U.S. called the need for a eugenics in the West, 130 00:19:20,950 --> 00:19:31,489 in which individual voluntarily choose certain eugenic measures of prenatal care or some other major sin crowed in the U.N. 131 00:19:31,490 --> 00:19:34,510 China U.N. standard prenatal hair care, 132 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:41,860 including such devices to prevent net predicament to women avoiding heavy drinking 133 00:19:42,130 --> 00:19:49,080 smoking taken certain not to take certain medicine to supplement the U.S. as well. 134 00:19:49,090 --> 00:19:54,640 Eugenics to broaden the concept of use and eugenics in China. 135 00:19:55,810 --> 00:20:09,070 So it it's a very difficult but very important to differentiate what it's ethically justifiable for a lot of you to not be very careful. 136 00:20:09,070 --> 00:20:13,470 And then this is why she had a lot to judge, to say all eugenics in China. 137 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:21,790 It's justifiable that's that's it's simply wrong because to practice encoding so many different. 138 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:37,360 Like in China. Not only commercial advertisment everywhere in York and other Western countries in China does something different. 139 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:44,680 It's a propaganda per day. Cuts are all way to pretend in cities, towns and villages. 140 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:51,220 Here are some of the price cuts have talked to U.S. as a part of China's cost control program, 141 00:20:51,580 --> 00:20:57,520 like its asset controlling the quantity of population to benefit country and people. 142 00:20:58,510 --> 00:21:07,030 The has since a quantity quantity of population to stance the nation and the price path to family. 143 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,840 It's another one go the first go. 144 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:23,800 The reason good education or so pure adverse or so pure represent so purer education benefiting to country people and the family of some more. 145 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,570 In general it's a fever that so to first. 146 00:21:30,550 --> 00:21:35,410 Just about several years ago, I was contacted, considered about a part of the world. 147 00:21:35,500 --> 00:21:40,610 I wasted in several villages in Sultan China, but not on the road. 148 00:21:40,630 --> 00:21:45,940 I can see many of those parts about dates before the one child policy. 149 00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:51,370 What's a request by child policy? And including many of thought. 150 00:21:51,370 --> 00:22:02,140 But of course not, except as nicely designed and say it's essentially women more a pram, play cards to potatoes, 151 00:22:03,430 --> 00:22:14,020 snow games and to some of those otherwise serious political slogans can be humorous in certain ways. 152 00:22:14,460 --> 00:22:18,890 Seussical can read the Chinese of probably one test Somalian region. 153 00:22:19,150 --> 00:22:30,729 What is to make in their watch notice India to see they are few children grow more trees and bear few children, 154 00:22:30,730 --> 00:22:35,920 both small pigs, and if they are grown older that uses that central thing. 155 00:22:36,580 --> 00:22:44,940 First of all, it somehow makes sense so that grow more trees and the race more pigs can become richer, right? 156 00:22:44,980 --> 00:22:49,240 That's what the economic development. So to punish a market economy. 157 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:55,420 The second one is to call for a new surge or famine to create in summer. 158 00:22:55,990 --> 00:23:04,040 I had been thinking about why in summer I don't have any crow under number one crow I've come up with to that. 159 00:23:04,090 --> 00:23:08,919 Maybe in summer people are more have more sex. But I don't know. 160 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,280 I really don't know what is why it's in summer and the little things and there is way 161 00:23:13,300 --> 00:23:20,880 for that people to see into women to help you with that there to punish me in some way. 162 00:23:21,220 --> 00:23:29,080 Sit there when you just attend to one more or one price of the work tend to me in totally reverse. 163 00:23:29,590 --> 00:23:36,999 And the southeast, this one become we are more children of children and grow more trees and I have more children and it is more 164 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:47,590 to understand why is that set off the new start opposite are of reproduction in summer I have more children. 165 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,970 Yes. Babies are conceived in winter because people. 166 00:23:52,170 --> 00:23:55,709 Nothing better to do. New Year, Christmas. 167 00:23:55,710 --> 00:23:59,220 And then in September. We have huge peaks in the spring. 168 00:23:59,370 --> 00:24:02,430 So maybe they want to even talk. Oh, okay. 169 00:24:02,470 --> 00:24:07,050 Yeah. Yeah, I understand that. You want to. You could I have my children? 170 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:14,970 A new thing in Minnesota for one year and they get into what called poor Internet storage centres among winter time and. 171 00:24:15,300 --> 00:24:23,090 But anyway, that's. Come back to our point. 172 00:24:23,100 --> 00:24:33,149 Another is that despite the official condemnation, her personal ambition and a scientific venture, once a knowledge supported by China, 173 00:24:33,150 --> 00:24:39,750 is also a for social or scientific superpower steps that have over the past two four decades, 174 00:24:40,020 --> 00:24:49,830 which had to create a fertile environment in which researchers are eager to untaken the having worked first and onward to other. 175 00:24:52,830 --> 00:24:57,750 Along with other state programs like One Theatre and the one wrote route sent 176 00:24:57,750 --> 00:25:03,120 to change its policy and the initiative in science and technology form part of 177 00:25:03,120 --> 00:25:11,879 China's ambitious undertaken to reshape the structure of global power before 178 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:17,520 him to fall for Jemele what's a Ray Rice since young science started in China. 179 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:27,990 They had too many accurate deaths and received extremely generous support from central government and scientific organisations, 180 00:25:28,380 --> 00:25:33,120 including being selected to state's top science program. 181 00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:38,070 Chairman, Chief Sergeant Attendants. In recent years, 182 00:25:38,190 --> 00:25:49,770 the Chinese state has issued a series of law and policies and taken a wide range of measures to encourage a transformation 183 00:25:50,130 --> 00:25:58,020 of results of scientific investigation and technology innovation into economic and commercial achievements. 184 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:07,830 Taking advantage of these policies benefiting from domestic and international give Western men and young scientists to whole generally. 185 00:26:08,010 --> 00:26:12,180 What's also a rice and into her new start in China, 186 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:22,530 who generally works and may still be the owner and or significant shareholder in mine gene companies 187 00:26:22,770 --> 00:26:30,750 including Toast Stops Up works at the new seven feeding Chinese program over half 1,000,000,000 USD. 188 00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:39,899 To conclude, in paragraph of his superb protocol to the Ethical Committee of and Local Hospital, 189 00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:46,050 a private owned hospital, so its approval turned out to have been faked, 190 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:57,600 such that concluded in paragraph says and not answer individual motivation and the broader context for horse epic genetic misadventure. 191 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:07,080 The strategic goals of horse genetic project have a strong nationalistic and militaristic a spirit. 192 00:27:07,390 --> 00:27:18,400 It's a state I've covered. We often tend to expect that the project will occupy a commanding indignation, 193 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:26,680 overtake the higher field of gene editing technology like it's a point of and all stick out. 194 00:27:26,830 --> 00:27:36,280 The roads are bare. The project to stand out into increasingly intense international competition among gene editing technologies. 195 00:27:36,970 --> 00:27:37,720 He's correct. 196 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:48,010 Creative research would have been more significant than HIV technology, which won't add to salt and pepper, nor be a prize to the charming. 197 00:27:48,250 --> 00:27:55,420 Commentator referred the Nobel Prize because cogent research includes protocol care. 198 00:27:55,750 --> 00:28:00,940 You too were about to bomb a final course for continents. 199 00:28:00,940 --> 00:28:08,670 So we connect to dictators and what to get implicit to by over was to mention before. 200 00:28:08,740 --> 00:28:15,399 China's audience in this declaration is to that his project were to make China to what a 201 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:23,200 leader in this field more explicitly and initiate back a critique can you remove to report? 202 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:36,220 Of course. Research appeared on the website of the chief official newspaper about people staining on 26 or November last year. 203 00:28:36,730 --> 00:28:42,550 One day after the course announcement you to what's entitled to what's a typical prof. 204 00:28:42,670 --> 00:28:59,409 I quote two waters. First the gene editing to babies genetically resistant to eggs are born in China and yet a whole sports experiment at a quota. 205 00:28:59,410 --> 00:29:08,260 Again, a milestone accomplishment China has achieved in the area of genetic editing technologies. 206 00:29:08,990 --> 00:29:12,930 Chinese model of science. It's also retiring. 207 00:29:13,210 --> 00:29:23,500 It takes a top down approach and at once, often at once, science salutes a conventional Chinese Communist Party's means of planned economy. 208 00:29:23,770 --> 00:29:30,370 So the kind of measure so planned economy and the mouse Great Leap Forward campaign. 209 00:29:31,060 --> 00:29:37,360 Of course the government is strong drive for science and technology can definitely 210 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:45,310 did you man's go the news for the Chinese people and the humankind at the same time. 211 00:29:45,550 --> 00:29:49,740 China's science schemes have much to do with it. 212 00:29:49,750 --> 00:30:01,120 A growing mentality that ethics it's merely second to right, or at least at the most instrumental for cutting edge scientific investigation. 213 00:30:02,570 --> 00:30:07,190 And the technology you mention ethical consideration. 214 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:23,090 Or and the ultimate goal of science and medicine can be compromised or even a near narrated by unchecked pursuit of personal ambition, 215 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,840 financial interests. Interests. Welfare. 216 00:30:27,110 --> 00:30:32,720 State and institutions. Economic growth and national economic. 217 00:30:37,810 --> 00:30:43,690 Nationalism is always justified and promoted in the name of patriotism. 218 00:30:44,260 --> 00:30:50,740 And it's a great to revive of China as a nation, as we are, as as a people and a race. 219 00:30:51,160 --> 00:31:00,070 In recent years, nationalism has been reshaping every aspect of Chinese society and the beliefs of Chinese people. 220 00:31:00,610 --> 00:31:10,750 The nationalism agenda price an essential role in the development of science and technology in China, as in many other parts of the world. 221 00:31:11,110 --> 00:31:22,690 Nationalism has been a defining and sweeping aetiology for the sciences, humanity and the social sciences and bioethics as well. 222 00:31:23,850 --> 00:31:31,440 Why are some pioneer works head spinning appear to come back to most in the Bible by unsubtle politics and a sociologist? 223 00:31:31,980 --> 00:31:39,660 More critical ethical analysis on ethical implications of nationalism for biomedical research and 224 00:31:39,660 --> 00:31:49,500 the bioethics on the chromosomes are long overdue to win regulation of science and technology. 225 00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:53,910 Its appeal among modern and the contemporary China in general. 226 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:58,680 The term Marxism, classic Marxism included, 227 00:31:59,070 --> 00:32:10,740 defines science and technology as the vital force of national production and as a positive driver of social development. 228 00:32:11,130 --> 00:32:17,820 Senior cites the scientists who promote for the state to employ science and technology, 229 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:25,740 engineering, nature, engineering, society, engineering, mind and engineering human life. 230 00:32:26,580 --> 00:32:33,390 Solid for borrowing reason means to extend intact my biological ideas of the struggle for daily 231 00:32:33,420 --> 00:32:41,520 consistency and survival of the feet focussed on from far away getting to a social sphere. 232 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:47,670 While nationalism and the scientists in China are more reachable in the public domain, 233 00:32:47,910 --> 00:32:54,130 much freer to research in China as well as abroad in the West, my own, 234 00:32:54,180 --> 00:33:02,790 where the initial research has suggested that at senior sites of social body condition may have played a more fundamental 235 00:33:03,030 --> 00:33:13,200 auto open haven role in the development of Chinese or Soviet have a model of genetically and socially engineering human life. 236 00:33:14,130 --> 00:33:28,200 They say it's among history. I continue even longer in my faith that some guns worked against modem 22 centuries 237 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:34,800 ago or began to work a kind of Chinese version of social Darwinism in more China. 238 00:33:35,610 --> 00:33:45,210 Ever since the emphasis on evolution, the translation of the teach, Huxley said pollution and ethics in aggregate classic champion. 239 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:51,570 When my reading Death in Indiana was the translation of So How Should I Say It 240 00:33:52,020 --> 00:33:59,790 just so denied to indicate classic Chinese mocking in more than I did in late 241 00:33:59,790 --> 00:34:06,930 19th century extended the heartless work problem to a more significant role 242 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:12,270 in the development of intellect tomorrow in modern China and social problem. 243 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:18,530 Since then it's been determined permanent intellectual force more than under contemporary knife. 244 00:34:18,810 --> 00:34:29,670 I have to say this declaration somehow indicates the idea behind it sociological name and historically speaking. 245 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:42,550 The largest scale and a profound dependency of genetically and the social engineering on human life in China can never be achieved without us. 246 00:34:42,900 --> 00:34:46,300 Information ology. This, ethically speaking, 247 00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:52,690 one shared feature on denying eugenics and human genome editing in China more generally 248 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:59,860 to China's model of engineering life is taking instrumental notation of human life. 249 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:08,829 Huge increase genetic adventure constitute the most recent and the most of Papua New 250 00:35:08,830 --> 00:35:15,460 sites to coast and these features especially instrumental lactation of human life. 251 00:35:16,260 --> 00:35:24,240 This despite almost unanimous condemnation of the international community of thought experiment. 252 00:35:24,690 --> 00:35:31,409 There are a few Western virologists that defend host experiment saying international 253 00:35:31,410 --> 00:35:36,750 context had been indispensable for eugenics and common gene editing in China. 254 00:35:37,410 --> 00:35:43,410 But she said far from adequate in the economic and the research, for example, 255 00:35:43,830 --> 00:35:48,990 whole genome quality, just a feat exist in China and have become a genetic test. 256 00:35:49,170 --> 00:35:52,710 A biophysicist in top U.S. universities. 257 00:35:53,190 --> 00:36:05,340 My head to wonder where to go as sun science community of gene editing had to play the role of accessory in cost historical scientific misconduct. 258 00:36:05,970 --> 00:36:15,300 Recent German nixed a report indicated that the user circle of scientists is fitting in state 259 00:36:15,310 --> 00:36:25,680 education knowledge horse experiment more broadly in various social benefits for stations. 260 00:36:25,950 --> 00:36:33,899 Eugenics has been global phenomena ever since late 19th century to seeming its pure Aetiological Foundation, 261 00:36:33,900 --> 00:36:44,130 which encouraged in scientific reductionism, nationalism and the social Darwinism to engineering and against mentor night and of knife heads. 262 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:49,980 NOM being one of the fundamental feature of global modernity. 263 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,880 How to how the international community should respond. 264 00:36:58,910 --> 00:37:08,780 HOLMAN Jim and I'm Jim Edgerton are invited to to co-sign and to co-author a prospective article for Nature 265 00:37:08,780 --> 00:37:16,850 which is entitled to adopt a moratorium on heritable genome editing due to what's written most about us. 266 00:37:17,090 --> 00:37:19,970 Some leading scientists in the field. 267 00:37:21,620 --> 00:37:28,580 There are a number of technical, scientific and medical as severe as social, ethical and the moral consideration. 268 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,040 Actually, I still agree. 269 00:37:31,190 --> 00:37:41,600 And a vote to advocate for a voluntary global moratorium on editing heritable DNA to produce genetically modified to human children. 270 00:37:42,260 --> 00:37:49,190 One reason I would like to highlight here is that genetic can said a bunch of genetically show 271 00:37:49,190 --> 00:37:55,730 staff to ethical damage of instrument or night and human night solo genetic technologies. 272 00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:06,200 It's a real by all means and imperative to create effective international thought by not uncommon gene editing. 273 00:38:07,590 --> 00:38:13,830 Now we are coming to the third and final part of my presentation. 274 00:38:15,130 --> 00:38:26,950 They need to move beyond the mainstream launch into interventionist Comodo of bioethical inquiry and advance social bioethics in the past decades. 275 00:38:27,220 --> 00:38:33,160 Not as a strong condemnation of that because without a serious of research project, 276 00:38:33,490 --> 00:38:38,670 China's view of an expiration of caution medical ethics in China's medical profession. 277 00:38:38,770 --> 00:38:46,960 Mr. Chen Chen to crisis patient appreciation trust Confucian ethical perspective on human body and the body part. 278 00:38:47,170 --> 00:38:50,830 Social and ethical use of HIV core research. 279 00:38:51,070 --> 00:38:53,950 Japan's Wartime Medical Atrocity and its aftermath. 280 00:38:54,250 --> 00:39:04,450 One wolf of my current research project investigates population ageing and Eric and China Forum to slaughter ethical thought of classic Confucianism, 281 00:39:04,720 --> 00:39:08,160 especially in its act of monks amongst us. 282 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,860 Why are two Coptic converts this project are different? 283 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:16,330 Methodologically speaking, I've often taken social, 284 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:27,160 ethical approach of investigating by integrating by ethnic contamination with a sociological and historical compiling 285 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:37,030 as we are as a Chinese Western comparative perspective from this press seeks to change on a theme had emerged. 286 00:39:37,780 --> 00:39:43,120 On the one hand, I've become more and more discontent about contemporary bioethics. 287 00:39:43,570 --> 00:39:49,810 It seems to me that you, spite of its great dynamic, our academic field. 288 00:39:51,190 --> 00:39:54,370 Suffers from sort of major problems. 289 00:39:54,820 --> 00:40:01,170 And first, it's a remoteness because the sort of folks are on an ethical dilemma. 290 00:40:01,180 --> 00:40:08,890 Under principles by ethics often overlook the broader social cultural forces shifting in ethical issue. 291 00:40:09,070 --> 00:40:20,770 And the responses today, as well as that you could source people richness of individual moral experience and the ethical issue concerned 292 00:40:20,770 --> 00:40:29,200 in larger population of with non-Western or less developed toward a much marginal knowledge that due to the West 293 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:38,200 and told meaning second by ethics it's hotness or you motion this because to white to role of the emotions for 294 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:46,570 you needs you recommend it to your human life are overlooked due to its emphasis on reasons and Russian energy. 295 00:40:46,900 --> 00:40:49,959 I don't want it to say reason and rationality. 296 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:56,770 It's not important. It's very, very important. But feeling, emotion and are also very, 297 00:40:56,770 --> 00:41:05,380 very important you irrationality as well by ethics served by ethics dishonest because it can see substantial 298 00:41:05,590 --> 00:41:14,350 and the spiritual matters are often downplayed due to you to focus upon body undermined to more be out. 299 00:41:14,890 --> 00:41:23,080 I'm aware it's easy. It's a radical corrective to move beyond a dominant mode of bioethical inquiry. 300 00:41:23,290 --> 00:41:29,570 You take it as necessary to advance at a social bioethics learning from social science, 301 00:41:29,590 --> 00:41:38,350 say learning from humanities in current literature and art, reviving thought and wisdom of indigenous moral traditions. 302 00:41:38,770 --> 00:41:44,229 More I started to go study classic Confucianism and mythology. 303 00:41:44,230 --> 00:41:53,980 Some more I convinced to how much social insight to offer today's world, not only for China, but for other parts of the world. 304 00:41:53,980 --> 00:41:59,920 For by ethical issues. On the other hand. 305 00:42:07,660 --> 00:42:14,500 On the other hand, through my research journey, I've put a forward and as Tom again mentioned, 306 00:42:14,500 --> 00:42:18,850 to verify a theory, a methodology of ethical trust, contradiction, 307 00:42:19,150 --> 00:42:25,600 in order to offer an alternative framework for bioethics that is rotated in 308 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:31,629 China to be anti and challenging to control a tradition to five key elements, 309 00:42:31,630 --> 00:42:37,370 including aberrations, a complexity of cultural differences taken seriously, 310 00:42:37,720 --> 00:42:46,270 the internal personality and the diversity which in every culture focus upon not only differences, 311 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:55,090 but also transcultural commonality under a common humanity promoting chairman and deeper transcultural 312 00:42:55,090 --> 00:43:04,090 dialogues and upholding the primacy of modernity over political and social cultural practice. 313 00:43:04,690 --> 00:43:09,549 Tomorrow at a lunchtime, I have a lot of talk of where the folks are punching. 314 00:43:09,550 --> 00:43:23,020 A certain dimension to talk of would be about to reclaim a sense of common humanity and a ancient Confucian ethical vision for today. 315 00:43:24,070 --> 00:43:32,740 Forgive me my self promotion. A lesson about such and such a vision. 316 00:43:32,740 --> 00:43:41,770 I'm still a developing racist trying to retrace some of powerful currents in today's Internet to work in the West. 317 00:43:41,770 --> 00:43:50,030 Undeterred. So you wrote dichotomy written and to someone defining Western and among Western culture as read authors, 318 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:58,480 homogenised and and the student type in non-Western cultures and the Western Alliance and now subscribing towards it. 319 00:43:58,810 --> 00:44:02,240 Tyranny of Cultural Practice over modernity. 320 00:44:02,740 --> 00:44:11,680 Yet to replace some of today's dominant ideologies, such as trying to replace such as glorified nationalism, 321 00:44:11,690 --> 00:44:21,970 a state of power condemning to universal human value, manipulating traditional Chinese culture to maintain and to Wangs the status quo. 322 00:44:26,930 --> 00:44:33,930 My vision of ethical, transcultural cognition can be treated as a part of a global effort to protest, 323 00:44:33,950 --> 00:44:42,530 somehow reckoned with different bioethics by a number of other scholars, including philosophers and social scientists, academics. 324 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,010 I continue to migrate tonight to that this talk. 325 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:55,460 Also, tomorrow's one have been shown to me a rant about your harassment heart and you thought sent over to a post jumped in your back. 326 00:44:55,640 --> 00:45:03,320 Welcome Centre for ethics and how many takes what is such denied. 327 00:45:04,810 --> 00:45:15,370 It's a time to control. I will leave you with a three anchor point I tried to make tonight. 328 00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,720 First, George, increase historic geometrical misadventure. 329 00:45:20,170 --> 00:45:26,470 A paradigm case of scientific misconduct stems from China's social practice, 330 00:45:26,710 --> 00:45:35,050 using eugenics and the great authoritarian and nationalistic pursuit of design superpower in recent decades. 331 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:45,520 So China's model of engineering, I can see its broader global context seeking to spell and the ethical issues of eugenics, 332 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:49,840 particularly the tendency of instrumentalized and human life, 333 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:55,570 have to be addressed in a new context of cutting edge biotechnology, 334 00:45:55,810 --> 00:46:05,830 such as home gym and genome editing served to better face the numerous and the daunting challenge of human gene editing. 335 00:46:06,170 --> 00:46:14,739 Bioethics, as both a public domain and as academic field, needs to move beyond the mainstream, 336 00:46:14,740 --> 00:46:21,070 largely individualistic mode of inquiry and advance a social bioethics. 337 00:46:22,950 --> 00:46:27,269 My presentation draws material from to publish. 338 00:46:27,270 --> 00:46:41,160 I can have.
