地理翻譯Round-7

Application of such increasing genetic knowledge holds great promise, but it raises some serious and controversial ethical and privacy issues.For example,some people have genes that make them more likely to develop certain genetic diseases or disorders.We now have the power to detect these genetic deficiencies, even before birth.Will this lead to more abortions of genetically defective fetuses?Will health insurers refuse to insure people with certain genetic defects that could lead to health problems?Will employers refuse to hire them?If gene therapy is developed for correcting genetic deficiencies, who will get it?Will it be reserved mostly for the rich?
這樣增長的基因知識的應用擁有巨大諾言,但是它提出一些嚴肅和有爭議的道德和保密性問題,例如,某些人民的基因可能發展成遺傳性或混亂的疾病,我們現在有能力在出生以前查出這些基因缺乏,這是否將導致基因上瑕疵胎兒的更多墮胎?健康保險提供者是否將拒絕保險人以可能導致健康問題的某些原本缺陷?雇主是否將拒絕聘用他們?如果基因治療為改正基因缺乏而開發,那誰又能進行這種治療?它是否主要為有錢人預留?
