摘　　要：2009年12月18日,笔者获得联合国教科文组织颁发的阿维森纳科学伦理学奖,这不仅是对本人工作的承认,也是对中国伦理学工作者们努力的认可。感谢联合国教科文组织等国际组织及外国生命伦理学工作者几十年来对中国的理解和支持。生物伦理学研究有"放风筝"和"骑单车"两个模型,绝不存在一种万能的伦理学理论,能解决所有伦理学问题,我们的决策不应该是单单从伦理学理论或原则直接推演的结果;对科学活动进行伦理管理是绝对必要的,生命伦理学在科学研究方面的体制化是旨在建立一个保护人类受试者的结构和框架,虽然有些科学家和决策者对伦理学仍有误解,但已取得一些成绩,还需耐心与努力;处理伦理学的国际准则与本土文化的张力问题时,唯有"协调进路"能够使我们恰当地处理文化张力,其结果是"和而不同"。It is great honor to be awarded the Avicenna Prize of Ethics in Science by UNESCO. The award is not only a recognition of my own work but also a commendation of the efforts of my colleagues in China who are devoted to the ethics of science and technology and to raising the ethical awareness among scientists, policy makers and the public. I am indebted to international organizations such as UNESCO, and many of my foreign colleagues who have been a constant source of support and inspiration for the past decades. There are two approaches in addressing ethical issues in life science. One is the flying - kite model. The other ethical approach is based on the riding - bicycle model. However, there will never be an omnipotent ethical theory that is capable of resolving all ethical issues in the past, present and future. Our decision should not be reached by direct deduction from any theory or principle alone. It is absolutely necessary to regulate biomedical research and biotechnology to ensure proper development of biomedicine and biotechnology. The institutionalization of bioethics in scientific research aims at building an infrastructure or a framework to protect human subjects. Nevertheless some scientists and policy makers still have misunderstanding about ethics. This shows that attitudes can change and that social progress is possible, but it takes patience and persistent intellectual engagement. The outcome of such a reconciliation approach would be as what Confucius said ： he er bu tong （ Lun Yu, Chapter 13, paragraph 23 }. It means ＂ harmonized but not identical＂ or ＂harmonized as well as diversified＂ in China＇s and world＇s bioethics.
