Human Practice

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: 2011/05/21 & 2011/05/22

Place: School campus of USTC

Sample Size: 200


1. What is Synthetic Biology?

  • A new area of biological research that combines science and engineering which focuses on "Synthetically" creating life.
  • 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.
  • I don't know.
  • No.

4.Do you have ethical-moral concerns regarding synthetic biology?

  • Yes.
  • I don't know.
  • No.

5.Which organization do you think should undertake the most responsibility in the process of supervising the development of synthetic biology?

  • Government
  • Research institutions
  • Commercial institutions
  • Civil society
