Sustainability and Anticipatory Governance in Synthetic Biology
摘要
A prominent imaginary of synthetic biology is the sustainability of bio-based technologies. In this paper, the
authors discuss variousreports, papers, and activitiesin synthetic biology in relation to a core set of principles
ofsustainability, paying particular attention to the concept of “prudent vigilance” asintroduced by the report
by the U.S. Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues. The authors introduce two additional
concepts – anticipatory governance and transformational sustainability science – and outline an approach
for systematically incorporating sustainability considerations into the development of synthetic biology that
addressesthe challenges and opportunities presented by the field in a more robustway than prudent vigilance.
The authors conclude that an opportunity exists to shape synthetic biology toward sustainable outcomes and
make recommendations for how research funders might seize this opportunity.
中文摘要
合成生物学的一个突出设想是生物技术的可持续性。在本文中作者讨论了合成生物学中与一套核心原则有关的各种报告、论文和活动可持续性，特别注意报告中提出的“谨慎警惕”概念美国总统生物伦理问题研究委员会。作者介绍了另外两个概念——预期治理和转型可持续性科学——并概述了一种方法将可持续性考虑系统地纳入合成生物学的发展中以比谨慎警惕更有力的方式应对该领域带来的挑战和机遇。作者得出的结论是，有机会将合成生物学塑造成可持续的结果就研究资助者如何抓住这个机会提出建议。
