Science的news of week本周第五条，原文链接：http://www.sciencemag.org/content/339/6124/1130.1.full.pdf Lower Saxony, Germany 5 Genetic Engineering School Project Cut Off 基因工程进小学被喊停 One of the largest states in Germany is closing school laboratories as part of a strategy to “keep Lower Saxony free of genetic engineering.” The new regional government of Social Democrats and Greens announced that it would end support of the Hannover-GEN initiative, a project that installed and equipped four school laboratories in the state, allowing pupils to perform experiments in genetic engineering such as isolating DNA from tomatoes. The project, which started in 2008, was seen as a success by the previous government, which planned to expand it to 100 schools. 作为“下萨克森没有基因工程”行动的一个组成部分，德国最大的州之一下萨克森州即将关闭小学的实验室。社会民主党和绿党的新一届地方政府宣布他们将会终止对 Hannover-GEN倡议的支持，该倡议发起的项目已经在本州四所小学搭建了实验室，这样小学生们就能进行基因工程实验的操作，比如从西红柿里隔离DNA。这个计划于2008年启动，曾被上一届政府认为是一项成功的举措，而且本来打算要把它推广到100所学校中。 However, Greenpeace and other NGOs claimed that the learning materials gave a biased view of the debate about genetic engineering. The new government adopted that view and resolved in its coalition agreement to end the project. Hans-Jörg Jacobsen, a plant geneticist at the University of Hannover and one of the initiators of the project, said that termination was a mistake because the project “allowed pupils to make up their own minds based on knowledge.” Students in the program have also protested the decision, and the project’s coordinators and the schools’ principals have started an online petition requesting that the state’s prime minister visit a lab before deciding its future. 然而，绿色和平和其它NGO组织声称学习材料会让人对基因工程的探讨产生偏见。新政府采纳了这一建议并于政府联合声明中表示要终止这一在小学建立基因工程实验室的项目。Hans-Jörg Jacobsen是Hannover大学植物基因科学家，也是该项目的发起人之一，他说，终止项目不是一个正确的做法，因为项目会“帮助小学生们根据获取的知识形成自己的看法。”参与该项目的学生们也在抗议政府的这一决定，而且项目协调人和小学的主管已经在网上发起了请愿签名，请求州长来实验室看一看以后再做决定。 *************************************************************** Science的原文和本翻译仅用于网友交流学习之用，若您有其它用途，比如商业用途等，请联系Science杂志社了解原文使用权等相关事宜。谢谢！ |
