We must take care that we do not become more fascinated by the composition of DNA and what characteristics and risks it carries than we are by the human qualities of less-than-perfect individuals, which we all are. This does not mean that there are no applications of our knowledge that are not important, life-saving, and even necessary.
我们必须当心不要过度着迷于DNA的组成以及这所带来的特征和风险，而忽略了我们所有人都属于其范围之内的不完美个体的人种质量。这并不意味着我们的知识的应用必然是重要、可救命甚至是必不可少的。但它们的数量和范围要比很多人所认为的更加有限。我们不但要推进当前的研究，还要仔细反思，小心行事。
