When a Scottish research team startled the world by revealing 3 months ago that it had cloned an adult sheep, President Clinton moved swiftly. Declaring that he was opposed to using this unusual animal husbandry technique to clone humans, he ordered that federal funds not be used for such an experiment, although no one had proposed to do so, and asked an independent panel of experts chaired by Princeton President Harold Shapiro to report back to the White House in 90 days with recommendations for a national policy on human cloning. That group -- the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC) has been working feverishly to put its wisdom on paper, and at a meeting on 17 May, members agreed on a near-final draft of their recommendations.
NBAC will ask that Clinton’s 90-day ban on federal funds for human cloning be extended indefinitely, and possibly that it be made a law. But NBAC members are planning to word the recommendation narrowly to avoid new restrictions on research that involves the cloning of human DNA or cells-routine in molecular biology. The panel has not yet reached agreement on a crucial question, however, whether to recommend legislation that would make it a crime for private fun ding to be used for human cloning.
In a draft preface to the recommendations, discussed at the 17 May meeting. Shapiro suggested that the panel had found a broad consensus that it would be "morally unacceptable to attempt to create a human child by adult nuclear cloning. "Shapiro explained during the meeting, that the moral doubt stems mainly from fears about the risk to the health of the child. The panel then informally accepted several general conclusions, although some details have not been settled.
NBAC plans to call for a continued ban on federal government funding for any attempt to clone body cell nuclear to create a child. Because current federal law already forbids the use of federal funds to create embryos (the earliest stage of human offspring before birth) for research or to knowingly endanger an embryo’s life, NBAC will remain silent on embryo research.
NBAC members also indicated that they will appeal to privately funded researchers and clinics not to try to clone humans by body cell nuclear transfer. But they were divided on whether to go further by calling for a federal law that would impose a complete ban on human cloning. Shapiro and most members favored an appeal for such legislation, but in a phone interview, he said this is sue was still "up in the air". [br] We can learn from the first paragraph that ______.
选项
A、federal funds have been used in a project to clone humans
B、the White House responded strongly to the news of cloning
C、NBAC was authorized to control the misuse of cloning technique
D、the White House has got the panel’s recommendations on cloning
答案
B
解析
该题问:从第一段我们可以得知什么?白宫对克隆技术反应强烈,文章一开始就提出:当苏格兰一个研究小组在三个月前透露了他们克隆了一只成年羊时,这消息震惊世界,克林顿总统迅速作出反应,他宣告反对用这种异乎寻常的用于动物的技术去克隆人,要求禁用联邦基金做这种研究实验——虽然任何人都没有建议这种实验研究——提出成立以普林斯顿校长Shapiro为首的独立专家小组,就克隆人研究的国家政策问题拿出建议并在90天内向白宫汇报。这里都说明了白宫反应迅速、强烈。A项意为“联邦基金已用于克隆人研究项目”;C项意为“NBAC被授权控制滥用克隆技术”;D项意为“白宫已获得专家组有关克隆技术的建议”。
