关于转基因生物（GMO）可接受性的公众讨论不仅存在争议，而且还充满了高度情绪化和道德说教的言论。尽管对转基因生物的风险和效益的评估必须是一项科学活动，但关于这个问题的许多争论似乎仍然不受科学证据的影响。在许多情况下，公众的道德心理属性会激励转基因生物的反对者和支持者进行误导性的公众宣传活动，从而阻碍对转基因生物风险和收益的全面评估。本研究报告中引入的经济伦理的秩序学方法有助于通过重构和解构道德主张来理清转基因生物辩论中的社会经济和道德成分。
The public discourse on the acceptability of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is not only controversial, but also infused with highly emotional and moralizing rhetoric. Although the assessment of risks and benefits of GMOs must be a scientific exercise, many debates on this issue seem to remain impervious to scientific evidence. In many cases, the moral psychology attributes of the general public create incentives for both GMO opponents and proponents to pursue misleading public campaigns, which impede the comprehensive assessment of the full spectrum of the risks and benefits of GMOs. The ordonomic approach to economic ethics introduced in this research note is helpful for disentangling the socio-economic and moral components of the GMO debate by re- and deconstructing moral claims.
