[고1] 2025년 03월 – 21번: 인간 유전자 편집의 윤리적 문제와 경고

 

Assuming gene editing in humans proves to be safe and effective, it might seem logical, even preferable, to correct disease-causing mutations at the earliest possible stage of life, before harmful genes begin causing serious problems. Yet once it becomes possible to transform an embryo's mutated genes into "normal" ones, there will certainly be temptations to upgrade normal genes to superior versions. Should we begin editing genes in unborn children to lower their lifetime risk of heart disease or cancer? What about giving unborn children beneficial features, like greater strength and increased mental abilities, or changing physical characteristics, like eye and hair color? The pursuit for perfection seems almost natural to human nature, but if we start down this slippery slope, we may not like where we end up.

배경 설명	안전하고 효과적인 유전자 편집을 전제로 초기 돌연변이 교정의 논리를 소개함.	Assuming gene editing in humans proves to be safe and effective, it might seem logical, even preferable, to correct disease-causing mutations at the earliest possible stage of life, before harmful genes begin causing serious problems.
문제 제기	정상 유전자를 업그레이드하려는 유혹이 발생할 수 있음을 지적함.	Yet once it becomes possible to transform an embryo's mutated genes into 'normal' ones, there will certainly be temptations to upgrade normal genes to superior versions.
질문	질병 예방을 넘어 능력 향상이나 외모 개선을 위해 유전자 편집을 해야 하는가?	Should we begin editing genes in unborn children to lower their lifetime risk of heart disease or cancer? What about giving unborn children beneficial features, like greater strength and increased mental abilities, or changing physical characteristics, like eye and hair color?
경고	완벽 추구가 슬리퍼리 슬로우로 이어져 예상치 못한 결과를 초래할 위험이 있음을 경고함.	The pursuit for perfection seems almost natural to human nature, but if we start down this slippery slope, we may not like where we end up.

1	Assuming gene editing in humans proves to be safe and effective, it might seem logical, even preferable, to correct disease-causing mutations at the earliest possible stage of life, before harmful genes begin causing serious problems.	Assuming gene editing in humans proves to be safe and effective, it might seem logical, even preferable, to correct disease-causing mutations at the earliest possible stage of life, before harmful genes begin wreaking havoc.
2	Yet once it becomes possible to transform an embryo's mutated genes into "normal" ones, there will certainly be temptations to upgrade normal genes to superior versions.	Yet once it becomes feasible to transform an embryo's mutated genes into "normal" ones, there will certainly be temptations to upgrade normal genes to supposedly superior versions.
3	Should we begin editing genes in unborn children to lower their lifetime risk of heart disease or cancer?	Should we begin editing genes in unborn children to lower their lifetime risk of heart disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes, or cancer?
4	What about giving unborn children beneficial features, like greater strength and increased mental abilities, or changing physical characteristics, like eye and hair color?	What about endowing unborn children with beneficial traits, like greater strength and increased cognitive abilities, or changing physical traits, like eye and hair color?
5	The pursuit for perfection seems almost natural to human nature, but if we start down this slippery slope, we may not like where we end up.	The quest for perfection seems almost intrinsic to human nature, but if we start down this slippery slope, we may not like where we end up.
