As we are sparing no effort to reform our environment and motivating progress of human beings, one question that we are often faced with is whether our morality can bear the reform and deconstruction on ourselves? From organ transplantation to test tube baby, from artificial heart to cloned animal, for the majority of ordinary people who are pursuing happiness in life, every breakthrough in biotechnology is shocking the sensitive nerves of human’s self-recognition and bringing about concerns on new social issues. At this time, synthetic biology unavoidably stands on the very cusp.

Here we are also sincerely expecting to discuss these questions from the following aspects.
