Legal and Moral Implications of Cloning 克隆在法律与道德上的影响(中英互译)
Legal and Moral Implications of Cloning 克隆在法律与道德上的影响At first it was just plain surprising. Word that scientists succeeded in cloning an adult mammal—an achievement long thought impossible—caught the imagination of everyone. The laboratory process that produced Dolly, an unremarkable-looking sheep, theoretically would work for humans as well. A world with human clones was suddenly within reach. It was science fiction coming to life.起初,这对人们绝对是个震惊。
有消息称科学家已经成功克隆了一只成年哺乳动物,一项长期以来被认为是不可能的成就。

如何有效提高护理专业英语教学的效率
如何有效提高护理专业英语教学的效率摘要:目前护理人才不仅在国内有很大需求,在国外上的缺口也很大。
而护理英语专业词汇多,文献难度大,口语训练缺位,这些都与教学课时少,教材落后的现状形成了对比。
在这种情况下,英语教学的效率就显得尤为重要。
本文认为,效率和效果是不可分的,若要实现教学效率,必须在明确教学目标的大前提下才能实现。
同时,还要结合教师的课堂监控能力和专业能力,才能才根本上解决目前英语教学效率低的问题,为我国护理人才的培养贡献力量。
关键词:护理专业;英语教学;教学效率;教学模式随着国内外市场对护理专业人才结构的变化,我国专业学校在英语教育、管理模式及理念上不断地进行改革,以适应社会上对护理人才英语口语应用能力,国外先进护理文献阅读能力的需求。
在设定了国际化培养目标后,专业英语教学的效率也就提上了日程,如何在有限地学时内,达到如此多元化的目标,成为每个专业英语教师的必修课。
也是实现我国护理事业持续发展的保障。
一、护理专业英语教学的现状分析1.1 教学任务重,目标不集中效率与效果的含义是不同的,效率通常和速度相关,追求一定时间的投入产出比,而效果更强调达到工作的目标,所以,我们在研究教学效率时,必须要明确教学目标是什么,才可能做到事半功倍,否则就是南辕北辙。
而现实中学校对课程设置,教材建设上的投入严重不足,尤其是英语课总的课时设置比较少,这些都构成了现有教学模式与愈来愈高的培养目标的矛盾。
在这种情况下,如果教师的目标分散,教学安排不紧凑,实现课程教学效率或者效果将无从谈起。
1.2 缺少对学生学习方法的引导众所周知,医学英语属于独特的知识领域,有着特有的文献框架组成,一定的阅读量和词汇量是必备的基础。
目前,很多学生已经具备了专业英语学习的主动性,他们除了在有限的学时中学习外,课余还会花费时间找视频、影视等资料提高听力和对话水平。
同时教师也会多鼓励他们接触原版资料,提高阅读水平。
不过在这一过程中,由于英语基础的问题,最初的提升是很困难地,经常收效甚微,导致学生自主学习的挫败感,最终不得不依赖有限地课堂学习,所以,教师对学生学习方法的引导也尤为重要。
支持克隆的理由英语作文
支持克隆的理由英语作文The Justification of Cloning.Cloning, a biotechnology that has captivated the imagination of scientists and laymen alike, presents arange of potential benefits that could revolutionize medicine, agriculture, and even conservation efforts. While the concept may evoke ethical concerns and moral dilemmas,it is important to delve into the underlying reasons that support the pursuit of cloning technologies.Firstly, medical science stands to benefit immensely from cloning. Consider the potential for regenerative medicine, where cloned cells could be used to replace damaged or diseased cells in the body. This could lead to groundbreaking treatments for conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. Cloning couldalso facilitate the creation of personalized medical treatments, tailored to the specific genetic makeup of each individual, thus increasing the chances of successfuloutcomes.Moreover, cloning offers hope to those suffering from infertility. For couples who are unable to conceive naturally, cloned embryos could provide a pathway to parenthood. This technology could also assist in the preservation of endangered species by creating genetically identical individuals, thus maintaining genetic diversity and preventing the loss of valuable genetic information.Additionally, cloning can contribute to agricultural productivity. By cloning plants that are resistant to diseases or able to grow in adverse conditions, farmers could increase their yields and reduce their dependence on pesticides and other chemicals. This, in turn, could lead to more sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices.However, it is crucial to emphasize that the pursuit of cloning technologies must be tempered by ethical considerations. The potential misuse of cloning technology, such as for non-therapeutic reasons or for the creation ofhuman embryos solely for research purposes, must bestrictly prohibited. Furthermore, the rights and welfare of individuals involved in cloning procedures, whether theyare donors, recipients, or the cloned individuals themselves, must be safeguarded.In conclusion, while the ethical and moral implications of cloning are complex and multifaceted, there are numerous reasons to support the continued research and developmentof cloning technologies. The potential benefits in medicine, agriculture, and conservation are immense and could lead to significant improvements in human health and well-being. However, this pursuit must be guided by ethical principles and rigorous regulatory frameworks to ensure that the technology is used responsibly and with the utmost respect for human dignity and life.。

对克隆的坏处英语作文
对克隆的坏处英语作文The Disadvantages of Cloning。
Cloning is a controversial topic that has sparked debate and ethical concerns. While there are potential benefits to cloning, such as medical advancements and the preservation of endangered species, there are also significant disadvantages to consider. In this essay, we will explore the negative aspects of cloning and the potential implications for society.One of the main disadvantages of cloning is the ethical and moral concerns it raises. Cloning involves creating an exact genetic copy of an existing organism, which raises questions about the value of individuality and the sanctity of life. Many people believe that cloning undermines the uniqueness of living beings and could lead to a devaluation of human life. Additionally, there are concerns about the potential mistreatment of cloned animals and the implications for their welfare.Furthermore, cloning has the potential to create a lack of genetic diversity, which can have negative consequences for the survival of species. In a natural population, genetic diversity is important for adapting to changing environments and resisting diseases. Cloning could lead to a decrease in genetic variation, making populations more susceptible to extinction. This lack of diversity could also lead to the spread of genetic disorders and health problems within cloned populations.Another significant disadvantage of cloning is the potential for unintended consequences and unforeseen risks. The process of cloning involves manipulating genetic material, which can lead to genetic abnormalities and health issues in the cloned organism. There have been numerous cases of cloned animals experiencing health problems, such as premature aging, organ failure, and immune system deficiencies. These risks highlight the potential dangers of cloning and the need for further research and understanding of its long-term effects.In addition, cloning raises concerns about the misuseof technology and the potential for exploitation. Theability to create exact genetic copies of organisms couldbe used for unethical purposes, such as the replication of humans for the purpose of exploitation or control. Thereare also concerns about the potential for cloning to beused for commercial gain, such as the production ofdesigner pets or livestock. These ethical concernshighlight the need for strict regulations and oversight of cloning technology.Moreover, there are significant economic and environmental implications of cloning. The cost of cloning technology is high, and the resources required for the process, such as laboratory equipment and skilled personnel, can be substantial. This could lead to a concentration of resources and funding in cloning research, potentially diverting attention and resources away from other important areas of scientific research and development. Additionally, the environmental impact of cloning, such as the disposalof failed cloning attempts and the potential for genetic contamination, raises concerns about the long-termsustainability of the technology.In conclusion, while cloning has the potential for significant scientific and medical advancements, there are also numerous disadvantages and ethical concerns to consider. The potential implications for genetic diversity, unintended consequences, ethical misuse, and economic and environmental impacts highlight the need for careful consideration and regulation of cloning technology. As society continues to grapple with the ethical and moral implications of cloning, it is important to weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks and disadvantages.。

该不该克隆英语作文
该不该克隆英语作文Here is an essay on the topic "Should We Clone?" with more than 1000 words, written in English without any extra punctuation marks in the body of the text.Should We Clone?The topic of cloning has been a subject of intense debate and controversy for many years. As the technology has advanced, the ethical and moral implications of cloning have come under increasing scrutiny. While some argue that cloning could offer significant benefits to humanity, others express deep concerns about the potential risks and consequences. In this essay, we will explore the arguments on both sides of this complex issue.One of the primary arguments in favor of cloning is the potential to save lives. Cloning could be used to create genetically-identical organs or tissues for transplantation, potentially alleviating the shortage of donor organs and saving countless lives. This could be particularly beneficial for individuals with rare genetic conditions or those waiting for a match on organ donation lists. Additionally, cloning could be used to reproduce individuals with exceptionaltalents or abilities, such as renowned scientists, artists, or athletes, potentially advancing human knowledge and achievement.Proponents of cloning also argue that it could provide a means for infertile individuals or same-sex couples to have genetically-related children. This could offer a sense of biological connection and fulfillment for those who are unable to conceive through traditional methods. Furthermore, cloning could be used to preserve the genetic legacy of individuals who have passed away, allowing their loved ones to continue their genetic lineage.However, the opponents of cloning raise a number of significant concerns. One of the primary issues is the potential for the exploitation and commodification of human life. Critics argue that cloning could lead to a society where individuals are viewed as products to be manufactured and customized, rather than as unique and autonomous beings. This could have profound implications for human dignity, equality, and the inherent worth of every individual.Another major concern is the risk of unintended consequences and the potential for genetic defects or abnormalities. Cloning technology is still relatively new and untested, and there are significant uncertainties about the long-term effects of the process. The possibility of creating individuals with genetic defects or unexpected health issues raises ethical questions about theresponsibility and accountability of those who engage in cloning.Additionally, there are concerns about the psychological and social impact of cloning. Critics argue that the creation of genetically-identical individuals could lead to a sense of diminished individuality and self-worth, as well as the potential for discrimination and social stratification based on genetic traits. The idea of "designer babies" or the selective breeding of individuals based on desired traits also raises concerns about the erosion of human diversity and the potential for the creation of a genetic elite.Furthermore, the religious and spiritual implications of cloning are also a source of significant debate. Many religious and philosophical traditions place a high value on the sanctity of human life and the belief that each individual is a unique creation. The idea of human cloning is seen by some as a violation of this principle, potentially undermining the fundamental beliefs and values that underpin these traditions.In conclusion, the debate over cloning is a complex and multifaceted issue that encompasses a wide range of ethical, social, and scientific considerations. While the potential benefits of cloning, such as the ability to save lives and provide reproductive options for those who are unable to conceive, are compelling, the concerns about the exploitation of human life, the risk of unintended consequences, andthe broader societal implications are equally compelling. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to pursue cloning technology will require a careful and thoughtful examination of these issues, with a focus on preserving human dignity, autonomy, and the inherent worth of every individual.。
克隆技术英语作文
克隆技术英语作文Cloning technology is a controversial topic that has sparked heated debates around the world. Many people are concerned about the ethical implications of cloning, while others see it as a potential breakthrough in medical science.The concept of cloning has been around for decades, but it wasn't until the 1990s that scientists were able to successfully clone a mammal. This groundbreaking achievement opened the door to a wide range of possibilities, from creating genetically identical animals for research purposes to potentially cloning human organs for transplantation.One of the main arguments against cloning is the fear that it could be used to create "designer babies" with specific traits or characteristics. This raises serious ethical questions about the value of human life and the potential consequences of playing "creator" with geneticmaterial.On the other hand, proponents of cloning argue that it could be used to help infertile couples have children or to prevent genetic diseases from being passed down through generations. They believe that the potential benefits of cloning far outweigh the risks, and that it couldultimately lead to major advancements in the field of medicine.Despite the controversy surrounding cloning, it continues to be a topic of great interest and research. As technology continues to advance, it's likely that the ethical and moral implications of cloning will become even more complex and contentious. Only time will tell how this groundbreaking technology will ultimately be used and regulated.。

In the wake of this announcement, governments hurried to draft guidelines for the unknown, a future filled with incredible possibilities. President Clinton ordered a national commission to study the legal and moral implications of cloning. Leaders in Europe, where most nations already prohibit human cloning, began examining the moral implications of cloning other species.此消息宣布之后,为了一个未知世界,一个充满各种不可思议的可能性的未来,各国政府立即起草指导方针。
克林顿总统命令一个全国委员会研究克隆在法律和道德上的含义。
在欧洲,大多数国家都已禁止克隆人类,各国领导此时也开始研究克隆其他物种的道德含义。
Like the Theory of Relativity, the splitting of the atom, and the first space flight, Dolly's appearance has generated a long list of difficult puzzles for scientists, politicians, and philosophers. And wild questions on the topic of cloning continue to mount.就像相对论、原子裂变和第一次太空飞行一样,多莉的出现给科学家、政治家和哲学家们提出了一长串难以解答的难题。
关于克隆的奇怪问题不断涌现。
Why would anyone want to clone a human being in the first place?首先,为什么有人想克隆人类?The human cloning situations that experts consider most frequently fall into two broad categories: 1) parents who want to clone a child, either to provide transplants for a dying child or to replace that child, and 2) adults who for a variety of reasons might want to clone themselves.专家们考虑得最多的关于克隆人类的情形可以分为两大类:1)父母想要克隆孩子,要么是想为面临死亡威胁的孩子提供移植器官,要么是想代替那个孩子;2)成年人出于各种各样的原因想要克隆自己。
Will it be possible to clone the dead?是否可能克隆死去的人?Perhaps, if the body is fresh, says one expert. The cloning method used requires combining an egg cell with the nucleus of a cell containing the DNA of the person to be cloned. (DNA is a very long, ribbon-like molecule that contains our genetic information.) And that means that the nucleus must be intact. Cells die and the cell nucleus begins to break apart after death. But, yes, in theory at least it might be possible.有位专家说,如果是刚死去不久,也许就可能。
所使用的克隆方法要求将一个卵细胞和一个含有被克隆人的DNA的细胞核相结合。
(DNA是一种含有我们的基因信息的狭长带状分子。
) 这就意味着细胞核必须保持完整。
而人死之后,细胞死亡,细胞核就开始分裂。
但是,的确,至少从理论上说克隆死去的人是可能的。
Would a cloned human be identical to the original?克隆的人会和母本一模一样吗?Identical genes don't produce identical people, as anyone who knows a set of identical twins can tell you. In fact, twins are more alike than clones would be, since they have at least shared the same environment within the mother, areusually raised in the same family, and so forth. Parents could clone a second child who resembled their first in appearance, but all the evidence suggests the two would have very different personalities. Twins separated at birth do sometimes share personality characteristics, but such characteristics in a cloned son or daughter would only be reminders of the child who was lost.相同的基因不会复制出相同的人。
任何认识一些双胞胎的人都知道这一点。
事实上,双胞胎相像的程度胜于克隆人,因为他们至少在母体内分享过相同的环境,通常也在同一个家庭里被抚养长大,等等。
父母可能克隆出一个面貌与第一个孩子相似的人,但是所有的证据都表明,这两个人的个性会有很大差异。
一出生就被分开的双胞胎,有时可能有相同的个性特征,但是这样的特征出现在克隆的儿子或女儿身上,却只能令人想起失去的孩子。
Even in terms of biology, a clone would not be identical to the "master copy". The clone's cells, for example, would have energy-processing machinery that came from the egg, not from the person who was cloned. But most of the physical differences between originals and copies are so minor that detection of them would require a sophisticated laboratory. The one possible exception is bearing children. The scientists responsible for the successful cloning are not sure that Dolly will be able to have lambs. They will try to find out once she's old enough to breed.即使从生物学的角度看,克隆人也不会和“母本”一模一样。
比如,克隆人的细胞可能会有来自卵子而非被克隆人的能量加工机制。
然而,在母体和克隆体之间存在的身体差异大部分都很小,需要在设备精良的实验室里才能测定。
唯一可能的例外就是生育能力。
成功地实施了克隆多莉的科学家们也不敢肯定多莉是否能生育。
他们会等到多莉到了生育年龄时再确认这一点。
What if parents decided to clone a child in order to harvest organs?如果父母决定克隆一个孩子以获得器官,那会怎样?Most experts agree that it would be psychologically harmful if a child sensed he had been brought into the world simply as an organ donor. But some parentsalready produce second children with nonfatal transplants in mind, and many experts do not oppose this. Cloning would increase the chances for a tissue match from 25 percent to nearly 100 percent.多数专家都认为,如果一个孩子感到自己只是作为一个器官捐赠者来到这个世界,那他的心理可能受到伤害。
