- | + | <p>The data shows that synthetic biology is slightly more acceptable among non-believers. But the mean values lie above 3 for both views based on religious beliefs and personal opinion, thus synthetic biology is well accepted by our respondents. | |

- | + | <p>During this open day event, we got the chance to meet some parents and conduct a survey. As most of them actually came to check on their children potential field of study in CUHK, we are so happy to learn that they are also enthusiastic about iGEM and synthetic biology.</p> | |
- | + | <p>We asked them on their familiarity to synthetic biology.</p> | |

- | + | <p>This result is consistent with response of high school students that came to our talk. (for question: do your parents understand what synthetic biology is?)</p> | |
- | + | <p>Parents are the gatekeepers of purchase, thus we investigate on their willing ness to buy and use products that is produced from synthetic biology.</p> | |

+ | <p>It is quite surprising that parents are willing to buy or use products from synthetic biology. They probably think that what has been in the market is safe to use.</p> | ||
+ | <p>We also explore their acceptability on using bacteria in daily lives. For example, using microorganism to remove cancer-causing substances from environment. This is to know whether they will welcome our project or not in the future.</p> | ||

+ | <p>Most of the parents rated 3 for their acceptability, which means they accept synthetic biology but neither very supportive nor against it.</p> | ||
