CityU's Outreach Survey

        
          CityU iGEM team is aware of the controversial nature of our project and concerns people may have with the use of Genetically-Modified Organisms (GMOs). Owing to this, the team has put together a survey to gather the viewpoints from the general public with regards to issues on bioethics and bio-safety etc.
          
          We aim to learn the extent of the public's understanding towards synthetic biology and lactose intolerance, and with this in our mind, it can help us to devise an appropriate module for  general education

Results
          Is synthetic biology significant?
          From our survey, we can see that more than 60% of the interviewees think that synthetic biology is significant. Thus, it signifies that the importance of the application of synthetic biology in daily life.
          27% of the interviewees expressed neutral feeling about the significance of synthetic biology, whereas there is only 9% who thinks that there is nothing significance about the application of this new area of Science
          Although our results show that majority of the interviewees think that the impact of  synthetic biology is significant, but nonetheless, they expressed concerns over the bio-engineered products that may arise. 
          More than 100 interviewees think that bio-safety is an important issue that should be addressed with the development of synthetic biology. Although hygiene is also an important consideration, it is only ranked second to bio-safety. 
     Less than 50 interviewees ranked ethics not as important as the others with regards to products made through this new rising technology.
          There are countless possibilities in this rising field of science and indeed, our interviewees also have the same perception in view of its usefulness in a wide range of application.
         The general public think that the application of synthetic biology has positive impact to the health industry, which can benefit and affect  people significantly.
          The application on pharmaceutical  and food industry are equally as important since they affects the well-being of individuals and eventually the standard of living of the whole community.
