摘　　要：生命信息学把人看成一个具有多层网络结构的"活着"的信息系统,而人体硬件即"活着"的物质系统只是它生存和发展的依托。在宇宙演变过程中,一切物质形态的生成物都有一定的生存周期,但是,基因和文化一经产生,便可以在不断的复制和进化中永存。基因信号和文化符号对人类行为共同起着控制作用。文章的中心是讨论人的信息学本质,最后以死亡标准为例说明生命伦理问题的信息转向及其意义。From the viewpoint of life information science, human being is a living informational system with the structure of a multi-layer network, while its hardware, the human body as a living material system, is just the carrier for its existence and development. In the universal evolution, any corporeal thing has a certain existent period. However, gene and culture, once produced, will be immortal along with their own reproduction and evolution. Genetic signals and cultural symbols control human behaviors together. This paper focuses on the informational nature of human being. With the example of brain death criterion, the last part of the paper accounts for the informational turn and its significance of the life ethic issues.
