Migrating Birds May Spread Flu

  Every year, residents of Kunming, Yunnan Province welcome thousands of black headed gulls(红嘴鸥)with food and happy laughter.The lovely white birds fly from Siberia to stay in the Dianchi area of the city in winter.But this year the white angels are no longer lovely in locals eyes, due to their fear of bird flu.

  Although scientists have not found the deadly virus in the birds, few people will dare to risk their lives to feed the birds this year.

  Across the world, wild migratory birds(候鸟)seem to have become public enemy number one.Since the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus was discovered not only in Asia but also as far away as Europe and Africa, migratory birds were regarded as the carriers.Geographically speaking(从地理上说), the spread of bird flu appears to be following the migratory routes of wild birds.Bird flu is a common disease among wild migratory birds.But the virus may change itself when transferred to fowls and human.

  Since the World Health Organization warned last month that migratory birds could carry the deadly H5N1 virus that causes bird flu, many countries, like China, have started tracking migratory birds and cleaning up poultry markets(家禽市场).China also cancelled(取消)all pigeon races last week.

  Scientists said that the migratory routes of wild birds are often far away from big cities.The risk of transferring(传染)the virus directly from wild birds to humans is very low.Scientists also warned that wild birds are shy creatures.They see you coming and fly away at once.But if a wild bird becomes easy to approach, people should be careful that it may be sick.

  There are already three areas hit by bird flu in the provinces of Hunan and Anhui and the northern region of Inner Mongolia, areas all on the migratory routes of wild birds.In the past two weeks China has reported three outbreaks of the H5N1 virus that killed 3800 chickens, ducks and geese(鹅).

引入型阅读

  Human cloning-will it ever happen? One of the abiding(经久不衰的)science fiction nightmares has been the idea that we could one day replicate(繁殖)human beings asexually(无性地), just by copying material from human cells.

  Scientists of Roslin’s Lab have announced that the nuclear transfer technique they have applied to produce Dolly(多利羊)could be in theory applied to humans.Whether anyone would try and whether it would work areanother matter.Scientifically it would still be a big leap to go from cloning a sheep to cloning humans.But the “what if” question must now be asked with much more seriousness than would have ever been justified before.

  Cloning humans is ethically(从伦理上说)unacceptable.Dr Wilmut and his colleagues at Roslin have made it quite clear.Normal sexual reproduction always produces someone who will be unlike any other people who have existed, and whose characteristics and appearance will be unknown until they are actually born.However, on principle, to replicate any human technologically is against the basic dignity of the uniqueness of each human being.

  Some have sought to counter this by saying that cloning is no more “unnatural” than twins.But there is a world of a difference ethically between the two processes.In the early stage of pregnancy, natural cell division leads to two genetically identical but, at that stage, unknown individuals.And to clone is to choose an existing individual of known characteristics and deliberately(故意地)make another of the same composition.

  Most of the motives proposed turn out to be for the benefit of the person who wants the cloning done, or a third party, but not for the good of the individual.

1.What does the phrase “what if” mean?

2.Why is the idea of cloning humans not ethically acceptable to even the scientists who proved it technologically possible?
