・Questionnaire
Our survey was carried out by Ehime-Japan, Osaka and KIT-Kyoto iGEM 2012 teams together! We obtained a lot of answers from people in different regions.
≪Questions about genetic recombination≫
Choose the best answers from the bottom.
Q1
In Europe, genetically modified foods are distributed on the market widely. When shopping, would you buy “not genetically modified foods” if there is an indication?
[Always buy / Tend to buy / Hardly mind / Not mind / Never seen such an indication]Q2
Have you ever heard the word, “Synthetic biology”?
[Yes / No]Q3
What do you associate with genetic engineering and biotechnology?
[Clone / GM crops(foods) / DNA / Genome / Medicine / Cosmetic / Bioethics / Virus /
Artificial life/Biological weapon / iPS cells / ES cells / Biofuel / Gene therapy / Others]
Q4
What do you think about genetic engineering?
[Unfamiliar technology / Negative effects on the environment / Negative effects on the human body / Unethical conduct
/ Insufficient legal framework / Don’t like science / Unclear / Need to prove safety /
No negative effects on the environment or people / Effective / Useful / Interesting / Not care / Others]

Summary
"Ｑ１ ・１０代・２０代は必ず買う、どちらかというと買うと答えた人が半数を占めており、３０代からは必ず買う、どちらかというと買うと答えた人が７０％以上を占めていた。
・１０代には表示自体を知らない人も居た。
・一方で子供がいる世代は特に食品の安全性に敏感であり、身体への悪影響を懸念する傾向にある。"
More than half of 10’s and 20’s answered “Always buy” or “Tend to buy”, and more than 70% of 30's and over answered “Always buy” or “Tend to buy”. In 10s, there is also the person who does not know the indication. On the other hand, the generation of having children is especially sensitive to the safety of foods, tends to feel uneasy about negative effects on the human body.
"Ｑ２ ・全世代7割以上が聞いたことがない。
・言葉自体は広まっていない。遺伝子組換えについて正しい理解がされていない可能性がある。
・私たちは合成生物学や遺伝子組み換えの知識をより広げる必要がある。"
More than 70% people haven’t ever heard the word, “synthetic biology”. The word, “synthetic biology” hasn't spread yet. We need to extend the knowledge of synthetic biology and genetic transformation.
"Ｑ３
・遺伝子組み換え作物、クローン、DNA、iPS細胞が上位にある。
・１０代は生命倫理を答えた人の割合が全ての一番少ないことは注目すべきことである。"
GM crops, clone, DNA, iPS cells are ranked higher than other thing.
It’s remarkable that the number of 10’s which answered “Bioethics” is the fewest among all generations.
"Ｑ４
・どの世代も、人体への影響、環境への影響を懸念している。
・福島原発の事故によって、科学技術に対する世間の目がより厳しくなったのだと考えら れる。
・遺伝子組み換えについて知りたいと思っている人も居た。"
All the generations are worrying about negative effects on the human body and the environment.
We think that public attention became stricter to technology because of the accident of Fukushima nuclear power plant.
There is also the person who wants to know about genetic transformation.
