Policy & Practices

Survey on the Streets

August 15, 2014

Our team members held a survey on people's awareness about genetic engineering on the streets in Kyoto. We asked the same questions as we had asked to high school students at the campus visit to see the broader trend. We also explained how genetic engineering is close to our everyday life by showing a genetically engineered potato chips. The result suggested that the general public feel distant and rather negative about genetic engineering.

Questions

  • What kind of image do you have on genetic engineering?
    • Good
    • Bad
    • I don't care
  • Do you feel familiar with genetic engineering?
    • Yes
    • No

Paper-based Survey

Background

We conducted a survey to know how the general public in Japan perceive synthetic biology and genetic engineering technology. The respondents were of broad ages from high school students to senior citizens. Our target was to ask 1,500 people.

  • Other

If negative, why? Please select all that apply.
  • Too much unknown
  • Not sure about
  • Unsafe as food
  • Dangerous according to media
  • Other

When you go to a grocery store, which do you buy, GM foods or non-GM foods?
  • Always non-GM foods
  • Prefer non-GM foods
  • Always GM foods
  • Prefer GM foods
  • No response

If the price of non-GM foods is 10-20% more expensive than GM foods, what would you do?
  • Still buy non-GM foods

Discussion

We got responses from 1571 people. More than half of the respondents had negative image about genetic engineering. When they hear the word genetic engineering, GM foods came to the mind for many. The technology of gene-recombination came across some decades ago. The word itself seemed to have become common today, but almost nobody knows what it really is. When asked what they think about gene-recombination, more than one third said that it is something unknown. It is significant for iGEM to appeal its safety, utility, and the environmental impact.

Conclusion

Gene-recombination is applied not only to food, but also to medicine, the environment and broader industries. This trend will never cease. Synthetic biology will evolve continuously, as the number of participating teams in iGEM is also increasing year by year. The research in this field has huge potential. Through Policy & Practices we hope to play a role in improving people’s awareness about gene-recombination.
