The Project with the Public
Public’s opinion
During our project we had the occasion to talk about our research to a lot of different people (more information can be found in our ). Those discussions were informative about the view people could have about synthetic biology and our project. Some of the main concerns can be found on Figure 1.
Survey
By having the idea of our project, we immediately realised that we needed a way to introduce our project to the non scientific community. Moreover, in order to integrate our project into society, we first need to know what the people want, and also, how deeply they know the subject.That’s why we first created a survey asking questions about contraception, hormonal treatments, the use of genetically engineered organisms and consequences on the environment. We wanted to have an overview of the perception of contraception and genetically engineered organisms by the general population. We developed a poll to probe as much people as we could: our survey was answered by 1163 people in both English and French. In the poll we are asking general questions about people, their contraceptives mean, their satisfaction about it. Then we went further with question about GMOs and their perceptions, then asking their view about a contraceptive mean such as ours. The survey was mainly answered by women (fig 2)
