摘要

胚胎植入前基因检测是一种道德敏感的做法，其目的是通过只移植 "健康 "胚胎来防止遗传疾病患儿的出生。虽然法国法律禁止丢弃健康携带者胚胎，但在优先选择非携带者胚胎方面却留下了 "灰色地带"。这种模糊性给专业人员造成了 "道德紧张"。为了减轻道德负担，他们从事一种 "道德劳动"，即对所移植胚胎的确切基因状况保持--甚至制造--无知，使他们能够在其工作的道德复杂性中游刃有余。

Un-Knowing the Embryo: The Moral Labor of Doing Preimplantation Genetic Testing in France.

Preimplantation genetic testing is an ethically sensitive practice that aims to prevent the birth of children with hereditary diseases by transferring only "healthy" embryos. While French law forbids discarding healthy-carrier embryos, it leaves a "gray area" regarding the preference for non-carriers. This ambiguity creates "moral tensions" for professionals. To ease the ethical burden, they engage in a "moral labor" that involves maintaining - or even creating - ignorance about the exact genetic status of the embryos transferred, allowing them to navigate the moral complexities of their work.

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
