摘　　要：罗马天主教教廷对基因改造技术的态度是相对开放的。它积极支持将其用于解决粮食问题,也允许人的治疗型基因编辑。但它却反对以转基因技术来造成新的剥削,并反对人的增强型基因编辑。这种态度不仅出自信仰,还有其理性根基,可见出它的人文主义考量:技术应当被用来造福人,但不能被用来奴役人;应当把一切人(包括胚胎)当作人,而非仅仅当作实验对象或实现他人意志的工具。基于这种态度,教廷为基因改造技术划定的运用范围以“人性尊严”为限。The Curia Romana of the Catholic Church has a relatively open attitude towards Genetic Manipulation(GM)technology.It actively supports the use of GM technology to address food issues and is permissive of therapeutic gene editing of humans.It is,however,opposed to the use of GM technology to cause new exploitation,and opposed to genetic enhancement of humans.This attitude is not only a matter of faith,but it also has its roots in reason,which shows its humanist considerations:technology should be used to benefit people,but not to enslave them;all people(including embryos)should be treated as human beings,not merely as objects of experimentation or tools to achieve the will of others.Based on this attitude,the Curia Romana has limited the use of GM technology within the boundaries of“human dignity”.
