At present,with the rapid development of life sciences,human beings not only have the weapons to treat major diseases that are currently incurable,such as tumors and genetic diseases,but also have the ability to manipulate our own human life,which has caused a fierce collision between science and ethics.The human embryonic gene editing technology that has emerged in recent years has brought hope to children with incurable diseases.It promotes human life and health,but it also conflicts with existing human social ethics systems,causing a series of ethics and laws.And social problems,so we have to explore and think about the bioethical problems brought about by human embryo gene editing technology in the face of the huge interest temptation and unforeseen consequences that human embryo gene editing technology may bring.The purpose is to effectively solve The conflict between scientific research activities and ethics makes this technology better able to improve human life and health.In this paper,the concept,characteristics,several main technologies and development profiles of human embryo gene editing technology are introduced in detail.The research progress of human embryo gene editing technology is summarized,and its application prospects are prospected.The article combines He Jiankui gene editing baby case.Focusing on the ethical issues arising from human embryonic gene editing technology from the perspective of bioethics,in-depth analysis of the causes of these ethical problems,and correspondingly put forward corresponding countermeasures and suggestions to solve these ethical problems,and strengthen the editing of human embryo genes.The ethical supervision of technology ensures the safe application of this technology.Finally,it is concluded that "in view of the immature human embryo editing technology,only limited use can be allowed at present,and the clinical trials can be carried out in the future."...
