What can be seen from the questionnaire survey


Teenagers' opinion


We conducted a questionnaire at the school on how to think about changing the genes of human fertilized eggs using genomic editing techniques and making children born.


Reason for agreeing
· You can have a child living without living
   · Is not it good if the disease is cured

Reason for disagreeing
· I think that it is against bioethics
   · It is an area of God where humans should not take out hands
   · Contrary to the principle of equality   

(To people with conditional approval) What conditions do you agree with?
· It regulates by law, allowing only genetic diseases genome editing.
   · The country conducts proper management

Many people resulted in choosing conditional agreement or opposition, and only 12% agreed.

There are quite a few people who feel uneasy about genomic editing technology applied to human beings.


Degree of public interest


Let's take a look at the questionnaire result presented on the first page of "Learning page" again.


Do you have something to think about by looking at the graph above?

Surprisingly, there are many people who have never heard of it ...?


In fact I answered that 15% of people have never heard about genome editing. However, various problems with genomic editing technology have occurred, I have learned on the previous page. Whether there is a necessity to raise interest more regardless of whether it agrees or expands genome editing technology .
Many people think that AI (artificial intelligence) may threaten people. Likewise for genome editing, I think that it is necessary for more people to recognize that it has the potential to threaten people. I do not know what will happen in the future.

Even when twins genomically edited in China were born, the news was reported at that time to some extent, but the next week I almost disappeared with television.

Even if genome editing is mentioned, there are many people who do not know what kind of technology it is. I did not really understand.

There seems to be a need to raise interest.
