摘要

In two separate issues this year, National Science Review (NSR) published three research articles that described the use of old world monkeys in gene-editing experiments [1-3].There has been substantial attention on these studies.Aside from the purely scientific issues, the ethical considerations are inherent in this type of research.Since the intellectual, cultural and religious bases of commentaries vary greatly, we believe that the research community has to confront the ethicalissues in a comprehensive and open manner.Criticisms from anonymous sources charging the authors of being 'reckless' are not the appropriate way to conduct the debate.
