“伦理”这一次合理吗？—— 对内丹术实验被伦理审查机构叫停的报道的追问
Is “ethics” reasonable this time?—Questioning the reports that the internal dan cultivation experiment was stopped by ethical review

浙江大学道教文化研究中心发起的“内丹修炼实验”即“冥想神经机制实验”已被伦理审查机构叫停。 媒体对此报道为“该项课题的结庐炼丹伴有汞、铅等影响人体健康的重金属摄入”“内丹修炼是否有害尚不清楚，但 只要存在伦理风险，该课题即不适合进行”，甚至断言“从现代科学的角度而言，‘内丹修炼者’的说法充满了愚昧 和无知”。上述报道将内丹术与外丹术混为一谈，对内丹术的报道也属于误读，既忽略了内丹术提高现代人身、心健 康的现代生命价值，又误导了大众对医学伦理审查的理解，更不利于东西方文化交流，值得科研人员警惕。
The “internal dan cultivation experiment” launched by Taoism Culture Research Center of Zhejiang University was stopped by the ethical review institution. The media reported that this experiment “is accompanied by the intake of mercury, lead and other heavy metals” “The harm of internal dan cultivation to human health is unclear, but as long as there are ethical risks, this project is not suitable for carrying out”, and “from the perspective of modern science, the internal dan cultivation is full of ignorance and unwisdom”. In this paper, we think that the reports above confuse the internal dan with external dan, overlook the modern life value of internal dan cultivation, mislead the public understanding of the ethical review, and are harmful to the cultural exchanges between the East and West
