Human Practices
Questionnaire in our survey
We conducted a wide survey targeted at the general public, with respondents ranging from high school students to working citizens, in collaboration with the Kyoto Institute of Technology (KIT-Kyoto)and Ehime University(Ehime-Japan). The survey had two objectives. The first was to find how Japanese people feel or think about synthetic biology and its associated issues such as bioethics and safety. The second was to capture the public perception of radiation in Japan. We surveyed people who came not only from biological backgrounds but also from various other fields of study. We also obtained feedback from visitors to our universities' open campus events. In addition, we made an online version of our questionnaire to survey even more people from various walks of life.
The Questionnaire
| 1. When shopping, do you buy “not genetically modified food? |
|---|
|
| 2. Have you ever heard the word, “Synthetic biology? |
|
| 3. What do you associate with [genetic engineering and Biotechnology]? |
|
| 4. What do you think about [genetic engineering]? |
|
| 5. What do you associate with [flies]? |
|
| 6. Do you know [ leukemia ]? |
|
| 7. Which do you guess [ leukemia ]? (※Please circle all that apply) |
|
| 8. Which do you guess [treatment for leukemia]? |
|
| 9. What treatment for leukemia do you want? |
leukemia cells’ activities/ Inhibit leukemia cells’ divisions /Others()] |
| 10. Please check your knowledge about radiation(※Please check all that apply) |
|
| 11. How do you feel about information on radioactive problem?(※Please circle all that apply) |
|
| 12. Do you think about “Nuclear power phase-out”? |
|
| 13. Do you have a radiation dosimetry? |
|
| 14. Were you changed your opinion about radiation? If yes, please write concretely. |
|
| 15. Which technology do you fear, gene recombination or radiation technology? |
|
Results
・Almost people do not try to avoid buying genetically modified foods but they are usually unwilling to eat them. This is contradiction.(Q1)
・Synthetic biology is acknowledged by few people. We,iGEMers,have to extend the knowledge of synthetic biology.(Q2)
・iPS cells are more remarkable than ES cells.This cause may the news of Prof.Yamanaka at Kyoto University.(Q3)
・Few people have knowledge about radiation, especially “the difference of these units, becquerel and Sievert” and “the difference between radioactivity, radiation, and radioactivity substance”. We have to extend the knowledge of radiation.(Q10)
・Nearly half people feel “rather credible” about information on radioactive problem. Almost all people seem not to believe information completely. (Q11)
・Many people think Japan should give up nuclear power stations. The number of them is 3.25 times as large as opponents.(Q12)
・Radiation dosimeter is not spread in the Kansai-region. And many people think it is not necessary. However, we believe firmly almost all people want to dosimeter in the Touhoku-region.(Q13)
・More than half people answered they were not changed their opinion about radiation. People who answered “Yes” said “I got to make efforts to find out true information” and “I got to mind information about nuclear power plant” and so on.(Q14)
・・Many people seem to afraid gene recombination or radiation technology, and radiation technology is more fearful than gene recombination technology. In order to use bio-dosimeter practically, we should reduce more people who scare gene recombination. (Q15)
