also executed within the perspective of ethical selection. At the same time, scientific selection poses many challenges to the subjects of ethical selection, probably violating their natural capabilities, infringing upon their right of autonomy, knowing, and privacy, and even causing harm to their life or dignity and aggravating the differentiation and inequality among them, which will, in turn, lead to the alienation of the relationship between scientific man and ethical man and shake the subjective status of human beings. To face the challenges from a series of scientific choices, human beings should adhere to the ethical value orientation of truth and goodness in making scientific choices and build an integrated and multi-winged post-human community with human beings as the main body. This is not only the need of the coordinated development of human, nature, and society, but also the inevitable choice for the subjects of ethical selection.
