中国科学家创造孤独症猴子以治愈人类疾病 [英国媒体]

Chinesescientists create 'autistic' monkeys in controversial study they claim couldlead to cure for humans

中国科学家创造“孤独症的”猴子，称这样可以找到治愈人类的方法



Scientistsin China have engineered monkeys with a human autism gene and symptoms, in thehopes of unlocking a treatment for the debilitating but little-understooddisorder, a study said Monday.

中国科学家创造出了含有人类孤独症基因和症状的猴子，希望借此来治疗这种令人衰弱、尚不确知的病症。

The'transgenic' macaques behaved similarly to humans afflicted with autism, theteam wrote -making repetitive gestures, and displaying anxiety and poor socialinteraction.

这个研究团队写道，这些“基因改造过的”猴子在行为上和患有孤独症的人类相似——做出重复性的动作，表现出焦虑以及社交能力极差。



Thismeant they could serve as a reliable animal model for researching the causesof, and possible cures for, autism in humans - a feat welcomed by otherspecialists not involved in the study.

这意味着这些猴子可以用来寻找人类孤独症的原因以及可能的治愈方法——这一壮举受到
了其他没有参与该研究的专家的欢迎。

The Chinese research, which could herald the use of more monkey 'models' in thestudy of human brain disorders, also raises questions about the ethics ofconducting such experiments on non-human primates.

这项中国研究可能意味着会有更多的猴子成为试验品，同时人们也发出了在非人灵长类身上进行这种实验是否符合伦理的疑问。

'Ourfindings pave the way for the efficient use of genetically engineered macaquemonkeys for studying brain disorders,' the authors asserted.

这些研究人员称：“我们的发现为有效利用转基因猴子来研究脑部紊乱疾病铺平了道路。”

Untilnow, animal studies of autism have relied mainly on lab mice -- a species veryfar removed from humans in terms of genes, behaviour and physiology.

目前为止，动物孤独症研究主要依赖于实验室老鼠——这种生物在基因，行为以及生理学上都和人类存在较大差异。

Wellwhen you have a kid with autism you might feel different. JS...

如果你的孩子得了孤独症，你就不会这么觉得了。

Itneeds to be done or do you want to volunteer?

这种实验是必要的，还是说你想成为实验志愿者？

病态？把这话对拥有孤独症孩子的父母们说吧。

Ah whycan't we test on mass murders? Rapist? Ya get the point.

为什么不在谋杀犯或者强奸犯身上做这种实验？你明白了吗。

Ifsomething can be find for humans then it's genius. For those already complainingabout animal experimentation, remember that every meds that you use have beendiscovered because of that and any new cure will be too. Scientists aren'tpsychopath, if they use them it's because there's no others ways to test it,yet.

如果能为人类找到治愈的方法，那他们就是天才。有些人抱怨科学家对动物进行实验，记住，你所使用的任何药物都是靠在动物身上实验获得的，未来也将是如此。科学家又不是精神病患者，如果他们这么做，那是因为他们还没找到其他的方式。

As aparent of a child with autism, this makes me sick to my stomach. Listen upscientists. .."JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN DO SOMETHING, DOESN'T MEAN YOUSHOULD"!!! There is a thin line between genius and madness, and this hasjust crossed it.

作为孤独症孩子的一名家长，这新闻让我觉得恶心。科学家你们听着“就因为你们可以做某件事情，并不意味着你们就应该那么做”！！！天才和疯狂之间只有一线之隔，而你们越过了这条线。

如果能找到治疗方法那就太棒了。

Andthere will be those crying for the "poor monkeys", voicing theirwrath. Remember its humans we're trying to help here. Animal testing has beenused for decades on end with the hope of finding cures for fatal anddebilitating human diseases. I'd rather a cure for autism be found, rather thansaving a monkey. That's just me.

有人会为这些“可怜的猴子”哭泣，发出愤怒的吼声。这么做是为了救助人类自己啊。数十年如一日我们在动物身上做实验以寻求人类疾病的治疗方法。我宁愿找到独孤症的治愈方法，而不是拯救一只猴子。这就是我。

As aparent of a child with Asperger's, I find this very offensive. Autism is NOT adisease.

我孩子患有阿斯伯格综合症，我认为这种做法太具冒犯性了。孤独症根本不是病。

Aslong as there are humans sitting in death row - it's ridiculous we use animalsto test on.

为什么不拿死刑犯来做实验呢，真是太荒谬了。
