Q3 How much do you know about genetically modifying (GM) technology?

1 I know well.
2 I know only its name.
3 I do not know at all.

The propotion of males who answered "I kwow" about genetically modification (GM) is higher than that of females.
male N=173 female N=210

Q4 Do you think modifying creature’s gene is ethically permissible or not?

1 Yes, we can modify every creatures’ gene.
2 Partly yes, some can be but others are not.
3 No, any living things’ gene cannot be modified.

male N=204 female N=227

Q5 Who answered ‘partly yes’ to the fifth question, please answer this question. Which of these creatures’ gene can be modified? Please give X as many as you think it is permissible.

Fig13.The graph shows the difference according to religion.
The graph of Buddhist is almost the same with that of Irreligionist, which shows that the higher the animals are, the less people who thinks their genes can be modified. From honey bee to human beings,Christian who thinks genetically modification is permitted takes up about 15%.
Chiristian N=71 Buddist N=105 Irreligionist N=189

Fig14.A comparison between Asian and Europe.
The graph is similar with the one which compares between religions. The graph of Asian is similar to that of Buddhist and Irreligionist, while the graph of Europe is similar to that of Christian.
Asia N=332 Europe N=82

Fig15.A comparison between male and females in Asia.
This graph shows the difference between male and female from Asia. The number of males who allow genetically modification is larger than that of females.
male N=150 female N=166

Fig16.A comparison between male and female in Europe.
The number of males who answered that genetically modification is admitted in E. coli and mice is larger than that of females. About other living things, there is no difference between male and female.
male N=30 female N=44

Conclusion

Q1

When we see fig2 and fig3 there doesn't seem any difference. When we see fig1 the number of 20s to 50s people who chose yes is larger than that of other generation.

Q2

The standard of the answer to this question is whether the answer places an importance on the profit they may gain through animal experiments, or the agony the animals feel through these experiments.

We asked whether animal experiments can be allowed from three points, “saving human beings”, “useful to our life”, “contribution to the development of science”

As a result, people who answered that animal experiment can be performed if it is for saving human beings was obviously larger than the other two points.

As for the difference by sex, male seems to be more generous to animal experiment, and place an importance on the profit of the human beings while female seem to place an importance on the animals’ pain.

When we compared by the salary or age, there seemed to be no significant difference.

Q5

性別、地域、宗教別にみた結果に差が認められる。 　性別差を見ると、男性の方が、女性より遺伝子組み換えを認めている。 　地域差を見ると、アジア圏の人々が、大腸菌や小麦といった生物に対する実験に約50％の人が許容すると答えており、ネズミは約35％、犬、猿は約20％近くが許容している。比較して、ヨーロッパ圏の人々の答えは、大腸菌と小麦はやはり高めだが、その他全ての動物が約15%の許容をしている。
