- | + | <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> | ||
+ | <strong><p>Conclusion</p></strong> | ||
+ | <p>From the data that we got, many people still left uninformed about what is iGEM and synthetic biology. This is the same case for hazards of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon and Benzo[a]pyrene. Our project idea is well received by our audiences. | ||
+ | </p> | ||
+ | <p>One’s religious belief affects the way a person responds to the idea of synthetic biology. Non-believers most welcome synthetic biology; there is no need to hesitate to make iGEM and synthetic biology widespread in Hong Kong and Macau as most of them are non-believers.</p><p>Parents’ of high school students mostly do not know what synthetic biology is. Most of the parents are welcome to purchase and use products from synthetic biology. We have to start approaching these adults with the idea of synthetic biology, then they can educate their youngsters about it. Lastly, many agree that synthetic biology will be an integral part of a knowledge-based economy in the future, for Hong Kong and Macau.</p> | ||
+ | <p>Information two-way flow from surrounding to individual can be mediated through our comic. As our data shown that surrounding affects an individual (ex. Religion) and an individual understanding about an important topic like synthetic biology may contribute to the way he/she sees the surrounding situation, like the economy structure preferred.</p> | ||
