Abstract This essay questions some of the limits that both science studies and bioethics have assumed in their engagements with technoscience, and genomics in particular. It argues that these disciplines have privileged an “ethics of suspicion” regarding technoscience, and argues that this is ill-suited to promissory sciences such as genomics. The essay begins to develop elements of an “ethics of friendship” toward genomics, using examples from toxicogenomics and behavioral genetics, to suggest what an ethics of promising might involve.

对于承诺的道德，或：关于詹姆斯沃森的几句客气话

摘要 本文质疑科学研究和生物伦理学在与技术科学，特别是基因组学的交往中所假设的一些限制。它认为这些学科在技术科学方面享有“怀疑伦理”的特权，并认为这不适合基因组学等有前途的科学。这篇文章开始发展对基因组学的“友谊伦理”的元素，使用毒基因组学和行为遗传学的例子，表明有希望的伦理可能涉及什么。
