Q2.2 Subjects can be killed in the experiment, but it can save people in disease.
Q2.3 Subjects are not killed in the experiment but they never go back in nature. However, it can save people in disease.

A comparison by generation.
20s permit using living things for experiments than other generation.

A comparison between male and female.
Male permit using living things for experiments than female.



Q2 yes vs no(Q1).jpg
Fig8.(Q1 yes N=135 Q1 no N=117) A comparison between people who answered YES at Q1 and who answered NO.
There doesn't seem to be any difference.



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


[ I know well./ I know only its name./ I do not know at all.]


Q3 male vs female.jpg

Fig9.(male N=173 female N=210)
A comparison between male and female
The propotion of males who answered "I kwow" about genetically modification (GM) is higher than that of females.



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


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

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.


[Check/ No Check]
Q5.1 Bacteria  Q5.2 Wheat Q5.3 Honeybee Q5.4 Killifish  Q5.5 Frog
Q5.6 Chickens  Q5.7 Mouse Q5.8 Dog Q5.9 Monkey Q5.10 Human beings


Q5 religion(chi-square).jpg
Fig13.(Chiristian N=71 Buddist N=105 Irreligionist N=189)
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%.
Q5 Asia vs Europe.jpg
Fig14.(Asia N=332 Europe N=82)
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.
Q5 Asia male vs female.jpg
Fig15.(male N=150 female N=166)
A comparison between male and female 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.
Europe male vs female.jpg
Fig16.(male N=30 female N=44)
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.



Result


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 a religion or age, there seemed to be no significant difference.


Q5.Significant difference is observed by different sex, region and religion.

In terms of sex, males tend to permit genetically modification than females.

In terms of region, half of people in Asia answered that they admit using living things such as E. coli and wheat for experiments. About 35% of them permit using mice and 20% permit using dogs and monkeys. On the other hand, many people in Europe admit using E. coli and wheat. However, no more than 15% of them permit using other living things.

In terms of religion, about 50% of Buddhist and Irreligionist answerer permit using E. coli and wheat. The more complicate structures of subjects are, the less people admit. Christian answerer admit rate using E. coli and wheat is also higher than other alternatives rate, which is about 15%.
