克隆羊“多利”的问世被认为是本世纪最重大同时又最有争议的科技突破之一。越来越多的人意识到随着科学技术对社会各领域影响的日益扩大,科技如何发展,怎样把握科技的发展,成为人类进入新千年前的重大课题。 站在新世纪的门槛上,可以预见科技将更迅猛地改变人们的生活、工作和思维方式。在这种情况下,人类在利用科学技术造福于社会的同时一定要慎重地考虑它的负面影响,因为科技发展中的一个小失误都可能造成巨大损失。 人类在科技领域已经不止一次打开“潘多拉的盒子”,引起全球变暖、臭氧层受损、荒漠化加剧、物种灭绝、核武器威胁等问题。就连计算机使用2位数字表达年份也造成困扰世界的“千年难题”,仅仅为了让计算机避免混淆2001年与1901年,一些专家估计全世界将付出几千亿美元的代价。
The advent of cloned sheep “Dolly” is considered as one of the most important and most controversial breakthroughs in science and technology in this century. More and more people are aware that with the increasing influence of science and technology on various social fields, how science and technology develop and how to grasp the development of science and technology have become major issues that mankind entered before the new millennium. Standing on the threshold of the new century, we can foresee that science and technology will change people's lives, work and ways of thinking more rapidly. Under such circumstances, mankind must consider its negative impact cautiously while using science and technology to benefit the society. As a result, a small mistake in the development of science and technology may cause huge losses. Humankind has repeatedly opened Pandora's box in the field of science and technology, causing global warming, damage to the ozone layer, increasing desertification, species extinction and the threat of nuclear weapons. Even computers that use two digits to represent the year create “millennia” that plague the world, just to keep computers from getting confused. In 2001 and 1901, some experts estimated that the world would cost hundreds of billions of dollars.
