Abstract
Abstract Objective: This study analyzed the relation between the position of scientists on embryo editing and the different types of knowledge involved. Methods: A lexical analysis of 151 scientific articles in the PubMed and Web of Science databases was conducted using the IRAMUTEQ software. Results: The results showed that gene editing in embryos is presented in two argumentative branches: the first refers to the editing technique and its possibilities; the second discusses the impacts of these techniques on the public arena. The results demonstrate a consensus regarding the potential of editing; however, dilemmas about its effectiveness were also highlighted. Conclusion: The presence of ethical conflicts with embryo editing among the specialists was evidenced especially regarding the birth of genetically modified babies. Therefore, gene editing is marked by conflicts that are not limited only to biological contexts, but that encompasses different aspects of social life.
摘要目的:本研究分析了科学家对胚胎编辑的立场与涉及的不同类型知识之间的关系。方法:采用IRAMUTEQ软件对PubMed和Web of Science数据库中的151篇科学论文进行词法分析。结果:结果表明，胚胎基因编辑存在两个争论分支:第一个是指编辑技术及其可能性;第二部分讨论了这些技术对公共领域的影响。研究结果表明，人们对编辑的潜力达成了共识;然而，关于其有效性的困境也被突出。结论:专家之间存在胚胎编辑的伦理冲突，特别是关于转基因婴儿的出生。因此，基因编辑的特点是冲突不仅限于生物学背景，还包括社会生活的不同方面。
