USTC-Software
Survey
A survey was conducted during the national science week in the school campus of USTC, where students were asked a few basic questions to discover their opinions on synthetic biology. The results of the survey were compiled and we've come to the following conclusion:
Considering our survey respondents includes undergraduates and graduates with different education backgrounds, it wasn't astonishing that 86% of them chose synthetic biology to be designing and constructing new biological functions and systems running on principles of biology as opposed to synthetically creating life. 38% of them also believed advances in synthetic biology will benefit human beings.
Results
Date: 21st May 2011

- Design and construction of new biological functions and systems not found in nature.
2.Do you believe that Synthetic Biology can solve problems concerning energy, environment and health?
- Yes, advances in synthetic biology will surely benefit human beings.
- I don't know, it's hard to predict the future.
- No, in no case.
3.In case of a sever disease, would you take drugs produced by means of synthetic biology?
- Yes.
