When a Scottish research team startled the world by revealing 3 months ago that it had cloned an adult sheep, President Clinton moved swiftly.Declaring that he was opposed to using this unusual animal husbandry technique to clone humans, he ordered that federal funds not be used for such an experiment—although no one had proposed to do so—and asked an independent panel of experts chaired by Princeton President Harold Shapiro to report back to the White House in 90 days with recommendations for a national policy on human cloning.That group-the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC)-has been working feverishly to put its wisdom on paper, and at a meeting on 17 May, members agreed on a near-final draft of their recommendations.
NBAC will ask that Clinton’s 90-day ban on federal funds for human cloning be extended indefinitely, and possibly that it be made law.But NBAC members are planning to word the recommendation narrowly to avoid new restrictions on research that involves the cloning of human DNA or cells-routine in molecular biology.The panel has not yet reached agreement on a crucial question, however, whether to recommend legislation that would make it a crime for private funding to be used for human cloning.In a draft preface to the recommendations, discussed at the 17 May meeting, Shapiro suggested that the panel had found a broad consensus that it would be "morally unacceptable to attempt to create a human child by adult nuclear cloning." Shapiro explained during the meeting that the moral doubt stems mainly from fears about the risk to the health of the child.The panel then informally accepted several general conclusions , although some details have not been settled.
NBAC plans to call for a continued ban on federal government funding for any attempt to clone body cell nuclei to create a child because current federal law already forbids the use of federal funds to create embryos (the earliest stage of human offspring before birth) for research or to knowingly endanger an embryo’s life, NBAC will remain silent on embryo research.
NBAC members also indicated that they will appeal to privately funded researchers and clinics not to try to clone humans by body cell nuclear transfer.But they were divided on whether to go further by calling for a federal law that would impose a complete ban on human cloning.Shapiro and most members favored an appeal for such legislation , but in a phone interview, he said this issue was still "up in the air".
The panel agreed on all of the following except that______.
选项
A、the ban on federal funds for human cloning should be made a law
B、the cloning of human DNA is not to be put under more control
C、it is criminal to use private funding for human cloning
D、it would be against ethical values to clone a human being
答案
C
解析
从文章第2段的内容可知,NBAC将要求克林顿总统应该无限期延长联邦基金不得用于克隆人的20天禁令;如有可能,应该将此禁令定为法律;但是NBAC的成员正在计划准确表达建议报告,以避免对涉及人类DNA克隆或细胞克隆产生新的限制;不过,专家小组对是否建议将私人基金用于克隆人的行为法定为犯罪行为,尚未达成一致意见;从第3段的内容可知,Shapiro暗示,“从道义上讲,试图用成人的细胞核克隆出婴儿的做法令人难以接受”,专家小组在这一点上已达成共识。据此可知,A、B和D三项都是专家小组赞同的;只有C项与文章第2段最后
