摘要

对自我和自然知识的关注可以追溯到整个人类历史。从古人的著作到现代科学研究,我们发现了从宇宙的宏观本质到微观亚细胞结构的一系列观念。然而,最近基因组学的进展不仅增加了人类存在理由的一个关键方面——寻求关于自己和世界的真相——还提供了一扇窗口,让我们了解操纵物质对人类本性的影响和后果,迄今为止,人类本性一直被认为是不可改变的(Savulescu, ter Meulen, and Kahane 2011, XV)。提出了关于这些努力以及它们如何影响我们对人类的理解的关键问题(Savulescu, Ter Meulen, and Kahane 2011, XV)。人类理解和操纵物质的能力进步的核心是细胞核的解锁和DNA的发现,以及对特定表型编码基因的识别。这一初步发现已迅速应用于基因干预方面的后续技术突破。后者在亚细胞水平上提供调解,并有可能改变个体的遗传构成,从而为他们提供个性化治疗和前所未有的增强。遗传学革命是如此的深刻

Islamic Perspectives on the Genome and the Human Person: Why the Soul Matters
A preoccupation with knowledge of the self and nature can be traced throughout human history. From writings of the Ancients to modern scientific inquiries, we find a collocation of ideas that range from the macrocosmic nature of the universe to microcosmic subcellular structures. Recent genomic advances, however, have not only added to a key facet of mankind’s raison d’etre—seeking the truth about oneself and the world—it also offers a window into the repercussions of and consequences for manipulating matter on the nature of man, a nature that has hitherto been thought of as being immutable (Savulescu, ter Meulen, and Kahane 2011, XV). The myriad possibilities of genetically manipulating matter for human ends, raises critical questions about such endeavors and how they may influence our understanding of the human person (Savulescu, Ter Meulen, and Kahane 2011, XV). Central to the advances of mankind’s ability to understand and manipulate matter is the unlocking of the cellular nucleus and the discovery of DNA with the identification of genes that code for particular phenotypes. This initial discovery has been rapidly applied to subsequent technological breakthroughs in genetic intervention. The latter offers mediation at the sub-cellular level and has the potential to alter the genetic constitution of individuals thereby offering them personalized therapies and unprecedented enhancement. The genetics revolution is thus profound-
