크리스퍼 유전자 가위 기술의 공리주의적 접근과 그 한계

초록

CRISPR/Cas9 gene scissors is a technology that can artificially cut and attach genes. This technology can make the (born) child healthy by editing DNA with congenital hereditary diseases. However, when we are only looking at the positive value of this technology, the negative side of the technology can be overshadowed by the hopes of a therapeutic technology. If we only look at the utilitarian values of this technology and miss the possibility of negativity, this technology will put a lot of burden on humanity. This paper goes one step further from the utopia of genetic scissors technology and pursues the duality of technology. This article points out some of the values we might miss out on because of the genetic scissors technology. Finally, this article reiterates the limitations of the utilitarian approach to genetic scissors technology and the importance of metaphysical values that may be lost by technology.
