伦理争议

字幕原文

A new technology is forcing us to ask a difficult question: 一项新技术正逼着我们面对一个难题：

just because we can do something, does that mean we should? 我们做得到，就意味着我们非得去做吗？

The benefits, its supporters insist, are enormous, 支持者坚称，这带来的好处是巨大的，

and they may well be right. 他们可能确实没说错。

Yet every powerful tool brings risks that are harder to see at first. 但任何强大的工具，都会带来一开始不易察觉的风险。

Where, for instance, do we draw the line between progress and harm? 比如，进步与伤害之间的界限，到底该划在哪儿？

These are not questions science alone can answer; 这些问题光靠科学是回答不了的；

they are questions of values. 这是价值观的问题。

Some argue we should move quickly and fix problems as they arise. 有人觉得我们应该快速推进，出了问题再修修补补。

Others warn that some mistakes cannot be undone. 也有人提醒，有些错一旦犯了，就再没有回头路了。

History suggests the truth lies in careful steps, not blind leaps. 历史告诉我们，关键在于谨慎行事，而不是盲目冒进。

What matters is that the conversation happens now, 重要的是，我们现在就得把这事拿出来讨论，

before the choices are made for us. 免得等别人替我们做了决定。

In the end, 说到底，

how we use a new power says a great deal about who we are. 我们如何运用一种新力量，最能说明我们到底是一群什么样的人。
