DNA是一系列指令，以四个字母A, T, C, G组成的化学编码指示我们的身体如何运作。但是有时这些编码会出现错误。
Yes. You find spelling mistakes by scanning – or searching – through the DNA.Then you snip – or cut out – the mistake or faulty gene from the code using molecular scissors. Faulty by the way, means something that isn’t working properly – like the faulty brakes on my bike.
是的。你可以通过扫描发现错误编码。然后用分子剪刀将有缺陷的基因切除。有缺陷的是指某物不能正常运作，就像我自行车上的闸不灵了。
That sounds really dangerous, Neil!
这听上去真的很危险，尼尔！
Yeah, but I’m more worried about my faulty genes.I might have all sorts of genetic mistakes inside me.
是，但是我更担心有缺陷的基因。也许我身体内部存在各种基因缺陷。
That wouldn’t surprise me.But you’ve actually touched on a serious point. Latest research suggests all our bodies do contain genetic mistakes, some of which could cause disease.And as reporter Fergus Walsh said at the end of the clip, gene editing could be important for treating or even curing inherited genetic diseases.For patients with blood, immune, muscle or skin disorders it offers the possibilitythat their faulty cells could be removed, or changed in the lab, and then put back.
这我一点也不惊讶。不过你确实提到很关键的一点。最近研究显示我们的身体都存在基因缺陷，一些甚至会导致疾病。就如Fergus Walsh记者最后所说，基因编辑对治疗甚至治愈遗传疾病很重要。对于血液、免疫系统、肌肉或皮肤疾病的患者来说，基因编辑为他们的治疗提供了可能性，他们有缺陷的细胞可以被移除，或者在实验室将其修改，然后放回体内。
That sounds amazing. But is there a catch?
这听上去很棒。但是有什么隐患吗？
And that means a problem or drawback.Yes. Some people think that if editing the genes of a human embryo is allowed for curing disease, this will lead to editing the genes of embryos for reasons other than health.Let’s listen to Marcy Darnovsky, executive director of the Centre for Genetics and Society in California talking about her concerns.
隐患是指问题或缺陷。有的。一些人认为如果人体胚胎的基因可以修改，用以治疗疾病，这将导致以健康外的目的进行的胚胎基因修改。Marcy Darnovsky是加州遗传学与社会中心的执行董事，我们来听听她的担忧。
It’s too risky, we don’t need it, there are other ways to have healthy children, and it would open the door – possibly – to a world of genetic haves and have nots.We don’t need more inequality, we don’t need more discrimination in the world.
这种方式太冒险了，我们不需要，还有其他方式可以生育健康的孩子。而且这会催生富人与穷人之间的基因差距。我们不能再创造不公了，世界不能再多一种歧视。
An embryo by the way is an animal or human starting to develop inside its mother.Marcy Darnovsky is against gene editingbecause it may be used to create designer babies– or babies whose genes have been selected to have certain desirable characteristics.
