还记得《姐姐的守护者》(My Sister'sKeeper)里的安娜吗?她就是一个定制宝宝(详见CE:Teens 2010年6月号“口语角”)。随着科技发展,人类将基因密码逐一破解,25年后,这种“高级定制”也许会逐渐平民化。如果可以任意选择下一代的相貌、性格等多种特征,你会选择亲手DIY一个独一无二的宝宝吗?这听起来似乎很有趣,却引人深思——如果每个人都按照自己的想法制造下一代,那么人类还能叫人类吗?会不会每一个女人都像奥黛丽·赫本,而目之所及均是汤姆·克鲁斯般的男人?
Remember Anna in “My Sister's Keeper,” a customized baby (see CE: Teens, June 2010, “Oral Corner”). With the development of science and technology, human beings will crack the genetic code one by one. After 25 years, this kind of “advanced customization” may gradually be popularized. If you have the freedom to choose the look, personality, and other characteristics of your next generation, would you choose to DIY a unique baby yourself? This may sound fun, but it is thought-provoking - if everybody makes the next generation the way they want , Then humans can call humans? Will not every woman like Audrey Hepburn, and the eyes of both men are Tom Cruise?
