Part 3

12) Do you think right that the procedures to make synthetic biological systems and devices are open source?

A. Yes
B. No
C. Don't know



13) Are collective benefits a "right aim" for genetically modifying organisms?

A. Yes
B. No

Part 4

18) Do you agree with University of Bologna partecipation to this international competition?

A. Yes
B. No
C. Don't know



19) UniBO iGEM Team 2009's project aims to realize a protein synthesis regulation system in Escherichia coli that is independent from regulated protein and acts at translational level, to make the control action faster. Does that seem important to you?

A. Yes
B. No
C. Don't know



20) Do you think this project has ethical implications?

A. Yes
B. No
C. Don't know



21) Do you think this project involves risks for humans or the environment?

A. Yes
B. No
C. Don't know



22) What do you think about what we are doing?

A. Very interesting
B. Interesting
C. Interesting enough
D. I'm not interested



23) Now that you have completed this survey, what are your impressions?

Most of the comments revealed a general unknowing about Synthetic Biology, probably due to the lack of spreading of this argument. Despite of this some people expressed curiosity and the wish of knowing more about these themes; thing that makes us happy and proud of our work. Other comments emphasized that there are a lot of ethical problems related to the handling of genetic material especially the one of animals or humans, so they suggested that is necessary a tight control in order to avoid harmful applications. So, although a little concern about a possible bad use of these techniques, most of the comments expressed enthusiasm about iGem and our project.
