Human Practices - Survey




Survey

We sent out a survey to try to answer questions mainly about the following two aspects of biology and ethics :

- Association of the level of knowledge with the feelings towards synthetic biology

- Opinion of people on whether they think humans have the right to manipulate genes, and similar issues

Here is the [http://spreadsheets.google.com/embeddedform?key=tfRE0LnWAJbEowo3w7zwFMw Survey]

It consists of 16 little questions, all multiple choices.

The 4 first questions are general information about the person answering the survey (age, sex, education level and scientific background).

Then we have 2 questions about synthetic biology, to see if people know what it is and what kind of concepts they associate with it.

The 4 next questions are here to evaluate the level of knowledge about some basic biologic concepts.

The 6 last questions are here to collect the opinion of people about cloning, whether human have the right to kill animals and similar ethical issues.

Results

For now, on 7th of October, we have 411 answers to the survey.

We still need to improve the rate of people above 30 years, to have a better representation of the population.

Analysis of the results

We will investigate the relationship between knowledge, opinion and background of the people.
