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 he 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 a 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 agree ment 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 nuclear to ere ate 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 re search.
NBAC members also indicated that they will appeal to privately funded researchers and clinics not to try to clone hu mans 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".
It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.
选项
A、some NBAC members hesitate to ban human cloning completely
B、a law banning human cloning is to be passed in no time
C、privately funded researchers will respond positively to NBAC’s appeal
D、the issue of human cloning will soon be settled
答案
A
解析
该题问:从文中最后一段可推断出什么?A项意为“NBAC中有些成员对彻底禁止克隆人的技术猜疑不决”。答案见最后一段第二句:“可是他们在是否进一步呼吁制定联邦法律彻底禁止克隆人的研究上意见不一”。虽然Shapiro和多数成员赞成呼吁立法,但在一次电话采访中,他说这问题仍然是“悬而未决”。B项意为“禁止克隆人的研究必然会很快通过”;C项意为“私人资金赞助的研究人员将会积极地响应NBAC的呼吁”;D项意为“克隆人问题不久就会获得解决”。
