摘要:人类基因组不是一般之物,与其他生物基因组存在着根本分野和本质区别,是决定人之为人的基点所在。人类基因组生成并决定人的性质,它的结构变异会导致人体表型及其功能状态的变化,人的性质也将因此而改变。人类基因组编辑把人的“身体自然”作为改造对象,开启了人的生命机体由“自然进化”向“人工进化”的重大转向。这种转向重塑了人类的生物基质、社会基底与文明基石,也深刻裂变了人的生物性质、人的社会性质和人类文明性质,甚至使人的性质不再存有。“人的性质”的裂变或将带来一系列的挑战与难题:不可逆的“遗传势差”使人类社会阶层的不平等现象变得更加固化和极端;从根基上摧毁“人”的自主性及其形成条件,人永远无法成为自己生活的独立作者;有多大能力产生善的效用就有多大能力产生恶的后果,形成难以克服的“善恶对价矛盾”;模糊“人”与“非人”的界限,需要人类对“自身”与“他者”的划分依据给出全新回答。如果“人的性质”的裂变突破了某个“阈值”或“临界点”而上升至物种层面的差异,人就会被他自己所“编辑”的“他者”取代,人类自身也就不可避免地走向“终结”与“消亡”。

关键词: 人类基因组编辑, “人的性质”, 裂变, 人文审思

Abstract: Instead of an ordinary thing,the human genome has a fundamental difference with other biological genomes,which is the basis to determine human beings.The human genome generates and determines human nature,and its structural variation will lead to changes in human phenotype and functional state,and human nature will also be changed.Human genome editing takes human's "natural body" as the object of transformation,which opens the important turn of human life from "natural evolution" to "artificial evolution".This shift reshapes the biological matrix,social base and cornerstone of human civilization and at the same time profoundly fissions the biological,social nature of human beings and the nature of human civilization,and even makes the nature of human beings no longer exist.The fission of "human nature" may bring a series of challenges:it will lead to irreversible "genetic potential difference",from which the inequality of human social strata will become more solidified and extreme;and by destroying the human autonomy and its forming conditions,human beings will never be able to become independent authors of their own lives.As much as it has the ability to produce the utility of good,it has the ability to produce evil consequences,forming an insurmountable "contradiction between good and evil",blurring the boundary between "human" and "non-human" and making it necessary for human beings to give a new answer to the division basis of "self" and "other".If the fission of human nature breaks through a certain "threshold" or "critical point" and rises to the difference at the species level,human beings will be replaced by the "other" edited by himself,and inevitably move towards "termination" and "extinction".

Key words: human genome editing, "human nature", fission, humanistic reflection
