Perspectives on the Collaborative Gene Research Debate: A China-America Discourse

Abstract

This paper critically examines the ongoing discourse surrounding cooperative gene research efforts between China and America, shedding light on the various perspectives and debates that have emerged within the scientific community and beyond. Through a comprehensive analysis of scholarly literature, media reports, and policy documents, the study elucidates the key points of contention, ethical considerations, and geopolitical implications associated with collaborative gene research endeavors. Drawing from interviews with scientists, policymakers, and stakeholders, the paper provides insights into the divergent viewpoints and interests shaping the debate. Additionally, it explores potential pathways for constructive dialogue and collaboration amidst geopolitical tensions and ethical dilemmas. By synthesizing diverse perspectives, the study contributes to a nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between science, diplomacy, and ethics in the realm of cooperative gene research.
