Survey

In order to determine how the public would react to our project, we decided to conduct a survey. The survey was designed not only to cover the principle aspects of peoples view on genetically modified organisms(GMOs); but also to see how much knowledge the public had towards the waste water industry and how our organism would fit in with the current methods used. We also looked at how religion might affect the public's view of GMOs.

We asked for each individual's age range, associated gender, education level, whether or not they were religious, and the following questions:

  • Regardless of whether you consider yourself to be religious, do you feel that opinions towards Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) can be influenced by religion?
  • Do you know what synthetic biology is
  • How do you feel about biological methods being used over chemical methods for remediation?
  • How do you feel about biological methods if they involved genetic engineering?
  • Would you be happy to drink water after it has been treated using biological methods involving genetic engineering?
  • Some waste water plants already use bacteria in the process of filtering water. Now knowing this has your opinion changed on using genetically modified bacteria in waste water treatment?
  • What is your opinion of genetic engineering?
  • How do you feel about genetically modified bacteria being used in a contained environment?
  • Would your opinions on the safety of using genetically modified bacteria change if you felt better informed?
  • How much phosphate do you think is in 1L of waste water?
