Clearly I have failed the communicate what I mean...
There are two different cultures both using the same tools. One believes it controls the tools and gets to set rules for how they are used. The other does not.
Juxtapose, the censorship board for TV in my country, which decided that calling Yugo surplus "genocide canteens" is bad, but reprehensible filth like Fear Factor and Big Brother is OK for prime time. Clearly, opinions do differ and are allowed to differ. - I call into question: Is the case of bioethics vs. business similar?
- simonh 8y agoThere does not seem to be two different cultures in this respect though. This guy is very well known in Western circles and consulted with US scientists on ethics questions. This guy's University in China has condemned what he did. In fact his actions are directly contrary to his own statements and presentations on the ethics of using this techniques on humans. See item 9 in the article. A paper by him on the ethics of this question, written some time ago and in a lengthy review process, was even published in The CRISPR Journal just 2 days after the story broke. His actions directly violate his stated principles in the journal.
