Abstract

Until recently, scientific consensus held firm that genetically manipulated embryos created through methods including Mitochondrial Replacement Therapy or human germline genome editing should not be used to initiate a pregnancy. In countries that have relevant laws pertaining to heritable human germline modifications, the vast majority prohibit or restrict this practice. In the last several years, scholars have observed a transformation of scientific and policy restrictions with insistent calls for creating a regulatory pathway. Multiple stakeholders highlight the role of social consensus and public engagement for governance of heritable human germline modifications. However, in the drive to gain public acceptance and lift restrictions, some proponents provide distorted or misleading narratives designed to influence public perception and incrementally shift the consensus. This article describes eight discrete strategies that proponents employ to influence framing, sway public opinion, and revise policymaking of human germline modifications in a manner that undermines honest engagement.

设计人类基因修饰的八大策略
直到最近,科学界仍然一致认为,通过线粒体置换疗法或人类种系基因组编辑等方法制造的基因操纵胚胎不应用于怀孕。在制定了有关可遗传人类种系修饰相关法律的国家中,绝大多数国家都禁止或限制这种做法。在过去几年中,学者们观察到科学和政策限制的转变,并不断呼吁建立监管途径。多方利益相关者强调了社会共识和公众参与在人类种系遗传修饰治理中的作用。然而,在争取公众接受和取消限制的过程中,一些支持者提供了歪曲或误导性的叙述,旨在影响公众的看法并逐步改变共识。本文介绍了支持者采用的八种不同策略,这些策略旨在影响框架、左右公众舆论,并以破坏诚实参与的方式修改人类种系修饰的决策。

期刊介绍: The JBI welcomes both reports of empirical research and articles that increase theoretical understanding of medicine and health care, the health professions and the biological sciences. The JBI is also open to critical reflections on medicine and conventional bioethics, the nature of health, illness and disability, the sources of ethics, the nature of ethical communities, and possible implications of new developments in science and technology for social and cultural life and human identity. We welcome contributions from perspectives that are less commonly published in existing journals in the field and reports of empirical research studies using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The JBI accepts contributions from authors working in or across disciplines including – but not limited to – the following: -philosophy- bioethics- economics- social theory- law- public health and epidemiology- anthropology- psychology- feminism- gay and lesbian studies- linguistics and discourse analysis- cultural studies- disability studies- history- literature and literary studies- environmental sciences- theology and religious studies
