工程生物学正在应用于解决或减轻社会面临的一些最大挑战。与许多其他快速发展的技术一样，这些强大工具的开发必须在个人、社会和/或环境进步的道德用途的背景下考虑。研究人员有责任考虑他们对该领域贡献的知识和创新可能产生的不同结果。我们共同制定了工程生物学研究道德声明，以指导研究人员将其工作的长期道德影响纳入研究生命周期的每个阶段。在此，我们介绍并阐述本道德声明及其六项指导原则。我们的目标是促进技术研究人员、社会科学家、政策制定者和其他利益相关者之间的持续反思和合作，以支持工程生物学创新和发展的最佳成果。
Engineering biology is being applied toward solving or mitigating some of the greatest challenges facing society. As with many other rapidly advancing technologies, the development of these powerful tools must be considered in the context of ethical uses for personal, societal, and/or environmental advancement. Researchers have a responsibility to consider the diverse outcomes that may result from the knowledge and innovation they contribute to the field. Together, we developed a Statement of Ethics in Engineering Biology Research to guide researchers as they incorporate the consideration of long-term ethical implications of their work into every phase of the research lifecycle. Herein, we present and contextualize this Statement of Ethics and its six guiding principles. Our goal is to facilitate ongoing reflection and collaboration among technical researchers, social scientists, policy makers, and other stakeholders to support best outcomes in engineering biology innovation and development.
