“黄金水稻”所引发的故事 严海洲 (上海交通大学农业与生物学院,上海200240) 摘要:“黄金水稻”最初诞生于2000年,旨在通过得到富含B-胡萝卜素的大米,治疗许多 地区人民常见的营养不良和维生素A缺乏症。然而原本应该是当代科学对人类的馈赠,在现 实中却引发了人们对转基因食品的恐慌、以及诞生了道德伦理层次的故事乃至丑闻。本文通 过“黄金水稻”所引发的故事切入,主要讨论转基因食物的发展历程,以及在推广过程中需 要重视的科学技术与伦理、社会心理与信任等等问题。 关键词:黄金水稻:转基因:科研失范 Stories triggered by the Golden Rice Yan H.ZH.

Howeverinstead of being a generous gift passed down from technology to human,this production contributed to panic towards genetically modified food among people and caused anecdotes and even scandals at moral and ethic level.This passage cuts in by tellng the story behind the 'Golden Rice'and mainly discusses the development of genetically modified food as well as issues about technical ethics,social psychology and trust,which we should emphasize during popularizing process. Key words:Golden Rice;Genetically Modified:Immoral scientific research. 1“黄金水稻”的发展历史 1.1转基因食物的发展与争议 在了解“黄金水稻”之前,我们有必要先对它的核心技术一一转基因技术,作一个简单 的了解。因为正是由于转基因技术的先进性以及其发展过程中暴露出的一系列安全隐患和争“黄金水稻”所引发的故事 严海洲 (上海交通大学农业与生物学院,上海 200240) 摘要:“黄金水稻”最初诞生于 2000 年,旨在通过得到富含β-胡萝卜素的大米,治疗许多 地区人民常见的营养不良和维生素 A 缺乏症。然而原本应该是当代科学对人类的馈赠,在现 实中却引发了人们对转基因食品的恐慌、以及诞生了道德伦理层次的故事乃至丑闻。本文通 过“黄金水稻”所引发的故事切入,主要讨论转基因食物的发展历程,以及在推广过程中需 要重视的科学技术与伦理、社会心理与信任等等问题。 关键词:黄金水稻;转基因;科研失范 Stories triggered by the Golden Rice Yan H.ZH.
