When a Scottish research team startled the world by revealing 3 months ago that it had cloned an adult sheep, President Clinton moved swiftly. Declaring that he was opposed to using this unusual animal husbandry technique to clone humans, he ordered that federal funds not he used for such an experiment, although no one had proposed to do so, and asked an independent panel of experts chaired by Princeton President Harold Shapiro to report back to the White House in 90 days with recommendations for a national policy on human cloning. That group -- the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC) has been working feverishly to put its wisdom on paper, and at a meeting on 17 May, members agreed on a near final draft of their recommendations.
NBAC will ask that Clinton’s 90-day ban on federal funds for human cloning be extended indefinitely, and possibly that it be made a law. But NBAC members are planning to word the recommendation narrowly to avoid new restrictions on research that involves the cloning of human DNA or cells-routine in molecular biology. The panel has not yet reached agree ment on a crucial question, however, whether to recommend legislation that would make it a crime for private funding to be used for human cloning.
In a draft preface to the recommendations, discussed at the 17 May meeting. Shapiro suggested that the panel had found a broad consensus that it would be "morally unacceptable to attempt to create a human child by adult nuclear cloning." Shapiro explained during the meeting that the moral doubt stems mainly from fears about the risk to the health of the child. The panel then informally accepted several general conclusions, although some details have not been settled.
NBAC plans to call for a continued ban on federal government funding for any attempt to clone body cell nuclear to ere ate a child. Because current federal law already forbids the use of federal funds to create embryos (the earliest stage of human offspring before birth) for research or to knowingly endanger an embryo’s life, NBAC will remain silent on embryo re search.
NBAC members also indicated that they will appeal to privately funded researchers and clinics not to try to clone hu mans by body cell nuclear transfer. But they were divided on whether to go further by calling for a federal law that would impose a complete ban on human cloning. Shapiro and most members favored an appeal for such legislation, but in a phone interview, he said this issue was still "up in the air".
The panel agreed on all of the following except that ______.
选项
A、the ban on federal funds for human cloning should be made a law
B、the cloning of human DNA is not to be put under more control
C、it is criminal to use private funding for human cloning
D、it would be against ethical values to clone a human being
答案
C
解析
该题问:问题小组赞同除了哪项以外的其他项?C项意为“用私人基金研究克隆人技术是犯罪”。第二段指出:“专家组要求克林顿无限期延长90天禁止联邦基金用于克隆人研究的禁令,并可能予以立法”,可是专家组在私人资金用于克隆人研究是否立法作为犯罪的关键问题上,还没有达成共识。这说明,其他都同意就 C项内容意见不一致。A项意为“联邦基金用于克隆人的禁令应予以立法”;B项意为“克隆人体DNA技术不必更多限制”;D项意为“克隆人违背道德价值观”。见第三段第一句话中Shapiro的建议:“试图用成人细胞核克隆技术来创造人是不道德的”。
