The Theoretical Basis and Practical Framework of Ethics First in the Ethical Governance of Science and Technology
The principle of"ethics first"in the governance of technology ethics requires moving the ethical checkpoint into scientific research activities,breaking away from the old dichotomy between technology and ethics.Why ethics should lead,how ethics should lead,and how ethics actually leads are self-determined as-pects of ethical prioritization.These correspond to the non-neutrality of science and scientific knowledge,and the double-edged sword effect of technology,thereby forming the theoretical basis for ethical prioritization.In the field of life sciences,a focal area of technology ethics governance,the greatest ethical challenge currently lies in the risks posed by"dual-use research."Building on the theoretical foundation of ethical prioritization,the article attempts to construct a universally applicable ethical prioritization framework.Focusing on researchers as agents and"dual-use research"as the object,based on principles of acknowledgment,warning,protection,and balance,this framework aims to elucidate how ethics can lead by establishing ethical prioritization practices that are meaningful and applicable across contexts.
