。”Р It's just this kind of scenario that fuels the controversy surrounding the search for smart genes. No method for ically boosting IQ currently exists, of course, but strides in gene therapy might someday make it possible. Plomin says his intent is more modest. "It is definitely the basic science that drives me. And I had hoped that, after I did this quietly for a few years, people would be more accepting of ic influence in the area of intelligence."Р 恰是这样的刻画使得有关寻找聪明基因的争议变得更加满城风雨。当然,目前还不存在从遗传上提高智商的办法,但是,基因疗法方面的大的进展有朝一日会使它变得可能。普洛明说,他的想法令较为简略。“正是基本科学在驱使着我。我曾盼望,当我不声不响地从事几年这方面的研究后,人们就会对遗传在智能领域的影响较为接收了。”Р If his latest project goes as planned, Plomin's years of quiet gene hunting may soon provoke another unquiet round in the intelligence debate.Р 如果普洛明最近的项目按打算进展,那么他多年埋头寻找基因的工作很快会激发新一轮对于智力的争辩。
