摘要: 在《莫失莫忘》中,石黑一雄讲述了克隆人生活在规训机制的阴影下缺乏身份沦为器官供体的悲惨故事。克隆技术剥夺了克隆人作为生命个体理应享有的尊严和权利,暴露了自然人在科技面前的道德盲点和伦理困境。技术理性与道德理性的冲突是科技发展背离伦理的根本原因,而个体身份的缺失与伦理关系的扭曲,使得个体难以找到生命的意义与价值,从而侵蚀人类存在的根基。石黑一雄告诉人们每一个生命主体都应被赋予同等的价值和尊重,作家不仅要关注科技进步及其背后的伦理、道德和人文关怀,更要审视技术的发展是否践踏生命尊严。只有坚持技术理性与道德理性的平衡和协调,人类才能走出伦理危机和生存困境,实现真正的文明进步和社会发展。

Abstract: In Never Let Me Go, Kazuo Ishiguro tells the tragic story of cloned humans living under the shadow of disciplinary mechanisms who, without identity, become organ donors. Cloning technology deprives cloned individuals of the dignity and rights they are entitled to as living beings, exposing the moral blind spots and ethical dilemmas of natural persons in the face of technology. The conflict between technological rationality and moral rationality is the fundamental reason underlying the deviation of technological development from the ethical course, and the lack of individual identity and the distortion of ethical relationships make it difficult for individuals to find the meaning and value of life, thereby eroding the foundation of human existence. Kazuo Ishiguro tells us that every subject of life should be entitled to equal value and respect, that the writers should not only pay attention to technological progress and the ethical, moral, and humanistic concerns behind it, but also examine whether development of technology tramples on the dignity of life. Only by maintaining the balance and coordination between technological rationality and moral rationality can humanity overcome ethical crises and survival dilemmas to achieve true civilization progress and social development.

Key words: Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go, disciplinary mechanism, ethical dilemma, posthuman reflection
