基因醫學風尖浪口的倫理省思西元1990 年起，由美國領銜多國科學家通力合作之「人類基因組計畫（Human Genome Project, HGP）」，進行人類基因組圖譜繪製的偉大工程。團隊在2003 年宣布完成92% 的定序，然而由於技術上的限制，所缺失的8% 在經過近20 年的努力後，終於由「端粒到端粒聯盟（T2T）團隊」宣布補齊，完成了人類基因組的完整測序解碼，發表在2022 年3 月Science 期刊 。計畫進行之初，深具遠見的計畫領導者Watson 教授即主張，基因醫學所涉及之倫理法律社會意涵與衝擊（ethical, legal, social implication/impact, ELSI）必需同時被檢驗，因此5% 的研究經費必須投入ELSI 之研究。如此前瞻而跨領域之大政方針，啟動了歐美學界對於基因醫學相關倫理法律社會問題研究之風潮，當時在我國主持「國科會基因體醫學國家型科技計畫National Research Program for Genomic Medicine」的陳定信院士認同此理念並將其納入規劃，亦帶動了台灣的人文社會學者趕上這個研究趨勢。2012 年之後「CRISPR（Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats）」與「次世代基因定序（next-generation sequencing）」技術陸續發展，大大地推升基因編輯與診斷的應用性，也為基因治療研究開啟新篇章，衍生之新治療也進入臨床試驗階段（例如運用於鐮刀型貧血、地中海貧血、兒童罕病等）。2020 年起武漢肺炎全球肆虐，以腺病毒為載體研發而成的AZ 疫苗以及以mRNA 技術研發而成的Moderna 與BNT 疫苗更是樹建其工、大大減少染疫者重症比例與死亡人數，讓大流行疫情趨向緩解。2001 年起，筆者受到基因體計畫「倫理法律社會影響組（Ethical , legal social impact, ELSI）」召集人之邀請，提出研究計畫申請並獲得委託執行，於是開啟了近20年的「基因醫學倫理」研究之路，期間獲得多次國科會與衛生署補助相關計畫，計畫執行過程中陸續發表相關論文成果，許多主題是環繞在「基因檢測倫理」此核心之上；因為儘管基因醫學之發展無遠弗屆，醫病互動與溝通過程中的「基因檢測與諮詢」仍為最重要之一環。筆者於是

An examination of the Counter-Enlightenment movement in China. In Modern Chinese Counter-Enlightenment, Peng Hsiao-yen argues that a trend of Counter-Enlightenment had grown from the late Qing to the May Fourth era in the 1910s to the 1920s and continued to the 1940s. She demonstrates how Counter-Enlightenment was manifested with case studies such as Lu Xun's writings in the late 1900s, the Aesthetic Education movement from the 1910s to 1920s, and the Science and Lifeview debate in the 1920s. During the period, the life philosophy movement, highlighting the epistemic debate on affect and reason, is connected with its counterparts in Germany, France, and Japan. The movement had a widespread and long-term impact on Chinese philosophy and literature. Using the transcultural lexicon as methodology, this book traces how the German term Lebensanschauung (life view), a key concept in Rudolf Eucken's life philosophy, constituted a global tide of Counter-Enlightenment that influenced the though

“A sweet, heart-squeezing story!” ― Jaleigh Johnson, New York Times bestselling author of The Mark of the DragonflyWhen seventh grade enemies research a missing set of jewels for a class project, they realize that the answers to the unsolved case might be much closer to home than they thought in this fun-filled mystery “as satisfying as hot soup on a cold day” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).If you told Sloane Osburn and Amelia Miller-Poe that they’d be hiding in their town cemetery from an evil mastermind, they would have been hard-pressed to believe you. If you also told them that person was intent on beating them to a cache of long-lost jewels using nothing more than a slingshot and wicked aim, they’d have been sure you got your facts wrong. Finally, if you told them they’d be doing all of this as friends…well, they would have been sure you needed medical attention.Whether through serendipity (really, really good luck) or zemblanity (really, really bad luck), someone tricked their

Focusing on Albert Sanguinetti from his early life to his retirement from the legal sector, including his tenures in Gibraltar, Kenya, and Hong Kong, this biography provides an in-depth view of the life of a prominent figure in the legal field in the late twentieth century. It is written from an objective, external viewpoint and paints a colourful and lively picture of Sanguinetti in a voice that could almost be his own. Using Sanguinetti’s life experiences, the biographer touches on various historical events, including the Mau Mau revolution in Kenya and the 1957 riots in Hong Kong, and details the social and political problems of the times, such as lingering colonialism, class structure issues, and human rights violations, among others. These glimpses of history through Sanguinetti’s eyes are accessible, thought-provoking, and truly representative of the man himself.Offering a well-rounded image of the eccentric subject, this book fulfils Sanguinetti’s common response to questions ab

Instead, the men profiled here maneuver through family and friendship circles where masculinity dominates, gay sexuality is unspoken, and heterosexuality is strictly enforced. For these men, the path to sexual freedom often involves chasing the dreams while resisting the expectations of their immigrant parents--and finding community in each other. Ocampo also details his own story of reconciling his queer Filipino American identity and those of men like him. He shows what it was like for these young men to grow up
