Reflexion on the ethic of the project

Our project raises a lot of ethics and technical questions : Can we free bacteria in the environment, how can we prevent their potential propagation, how will people react when we present our project ...

So, we decided to divide our reflexion on the ethics of the project in three parts :

1. Because synthetic biology touches non scientists and common people too, we have decided to make a poll in Paris durind one afternoon. In this poll we have tried to ask specific questions to see if the French are aware of the consequences of the pollution of water and if they agree our project solution: PCBbuster Poll.

2. We have visited the sewers of Paris in order to understand the water cycle, the way water is cleaning and recycling : Summary of this day.








3. We have met the Evry's team during the summer in order to make a workshop during an afternoon.During this workshop we have presented our respective projects : the scientific part, the human pratice part and the modeling part. After each presentation we have debated, asked questions, proposed solution to improve the team's project. At the end of the day we made a big 4 o'clock tea.
