A talent in Hong Kong appears. In order to absorb talents at home and abroad, the Hong Kong Government launched the "Gao Cai Tong" plan at the end of last year. In just 8 weeks, more than 10,000 applications were received.He Jiankui, a mainland scientist who was in prison in gene editing baby incidents, aroused social controversy.The incident exposes the vulnerabilities of the application procedure. In addition to repairing the Hong Kong government as soon as possible, the Hong Kong Government must carefully consider whether the qualifications need to be canceled, learn lessons, review the application conditions, and ensure that the approval procedures are more rigorous, fair and fair, and fairly fair and fair.Filter high -quality talents.
Time to grab talents is urgent to take detailed consideration
After He Jiankui was approved by the "Gao Cai Tong" news, Sun Yuzheng, the director of the Labor Bureau, refused to comment, but admitted that he had to apply for a criminal record when he applied for "Gao Cai Tong".If the applicant has false statements, the relevant applications will be considered invalid, and the endorsements have been issued can be canceled.
The "Gao Cai Tong" plan stipulates that applicants must not have any serious criminal records. However, He Jiankui published the world's first gene editing baby case in 2018.The incident has a sensation worldwide, and the Hong Kong government still approves its application. The possible reason is that it is very popular after the plan is launched. Hong Kong urgently needs to grab talents with global to deal with a large number of applications under the time of time.
Tang Jiazhen, a member of the executive meeting of the senior barrister, mentioned that "Gao Caitong" is not an immigration plan, so criminal records are not the biggest consideration."Gao Cai Tong" is not an immigration plan, but in fact, there is a chance to be immigration. Because talents can apply for residence rights in accordance with the law for 7 years in Hong Kong and become permanent residents. Therefore, it is necessary to review whether there is a case.It is found that the plan has obvious loopholes, and the Immigration Department immediately takes remedial measures. It is announced that all applicants must declare a criminal guilt record on the electronic application form today, and require applicants who have been submitted but not approved to pay relevant information.
He Jiankui's application has been approved, and it is difficult to cancel its visa. It is believed that the official is considering the eligibility from the technical level: he has been in jail for three years in the past 5 years, and has not met the requirements of at least 3 years of work experience.In the past year, the income has not reached more than 2.5 million yuan, and whether he graduated from the top 100 universities.The Immigration Department shows that if someone is suspected to obtain a visa with false statements, it can be announced that its visa is invalid and conduct a criminal investigation.
Regardless of whether He Jiankui can come to Hong Kong, the official and all sectors of the society should consider related issues and review whether the approval procedure is rigorous enough.The purpose of "Gao Caitong" is to solicit different types of talents, and scientists may involve more unpopular moral and ethical disputes in doing research.Focus on its scientific research qualifications.It is necessary to know that the crimes committed by He Jiankui are not murderers, theft, and fraud, but because of the pursuit of medical breakthroughs, they will not hesitate to challenge the moral ethics line, and through the transformation of human embryonic genes, to cultivate a pair of twins of AIDS immunity, manyPeople criticize him to use the human body to do experiments crazy, but for scientists who love scientific exploration, if they cannot use the bold adventure spirit of the pioneers, the progress of medical and scientific breakthroughs will be greatly slowed.
Ethical and moral issues must be dealt with as appropriate
Just as the coronary vaccine religion enables ribonic acid (mRNA) technology, the mRNA carrying the key protein carrying virus is injected into the human body, so that the corresponding protein has an immune response.The environment in the body is rapidly degraded, and it is easy to cause allergic reactions. In the end, scientists overcome this problem, which not only subverts the vaccine industry, saves countless people's lives under the epidemic, and may even become a weapon to overcome cancer in the future.Scientists usually cause some controversy for new medical technology. As the technology becomes more mature and the side effects are low, they will be slowly accepted.
Equitting the moral ethics issues caused by He Jiankinyin to cultivate gene editing babies, the research of gene editing technology has never stopped, and it has been applied to the treatment of cancer and achieved certain results.He Jiankui also paid the price for his bold and deliberate acts for 3 years. After he was released from prison, he continued to study rare gene therapy and stated that he would learn lessons that he would abide by ethics and international scientific consensus.Because his research is at the forefront of science and belongs to the high -end life science and technology talents in Hong Kong, the official should review whether to give the other party a chance to contribute to patients with rare genetic diseases.
This incident is like the morning clock of the twilight, reminding the government to implement any plans or policies in the future, even if time is tight, there must be detailed considerations.As for whether there is no application for the case, you should check the nature of the criminal. If it involves ethical and moral issues, you can consider handling it as appropriate.
