Interviews

For our human practices we decided to answer the question "Is synthetic biology feared"? This was investigated by conducting small interviews in order to explore whether the topic of synthetic biology is feared and if so the reasons behind these fears.

Figure 2.A. shows an image of Dr Jay Vacanti work of successful growth of a human ear from cartilage cells on the back of a mouse. Image B shows that 29% of people associated the image with synthetic biology, and 71% associated it with genetic modification.

Figure 3.A. shows an image of a wild African bush elephant. Image B shows that 100% of people recognised it was natural.

Figure 5.A. shows an image of purple tomatoes, which scientists have developed which may boost health due to their anti-cancer properties. Image B shows how 92% of people understood the purple tomatoes to be genetically modified, whereas 8% thought it was synthetic biology.
