I was assigned a project about scientific issues, and we had to pick an issue to study. I chose genetic engineering. Well, one of the requirements was to survey 50 people on their thoughts on the topic. So I thought that it might be a good idea to conduct my survey here. Please fill this out for me.

Read the questions and reply with your answers.

1. Do you know what genetic engineering is?
Yes No

2. What type of gene is inserted into some industries pork chops?
A. Pea Gene
B. Human Gene
C. Chicken Gene
D. None of the above.

3. Would you eat genetically modified foods?
Yes No

4. Do you agree with genetically enhancing humans?
Strongly Agree
Agree
Uncertain
Disagree
Strongly Disagree

5. Who should be responsible for funding genetic engineering?
A. The Government
B. Whoever is doing the research/testing
C. People
D. It doesn't matter

6. Limits should be put on genetic engineering.
Strongly Agree
Agree
Uncertain
Disagree
Strongly Disagree

All right, let's see here...

1. Do you know what genetic engineering is?
Yes (I think so)

2. What type of gene is inserted into some industries pork chops?
C. Chicken Gene (The crap?)

3. Would you eat genetically modified foods?
Yes (SUPER TOMATO!)

4. Do you agree with genetically enhancing humans?
Uncertain (Most of me says "Go for it", but morals are getting in the way)

5. Who should be responsible for funding genetic engineering?
B. Whoever is doing the research/testing (Generic comment)

6. Limits should be put on genetic engineering.
Agree (There's a point where it goes too far)

1. Do you know what genetic engineering is?
Maybe, I think it's where you alter the genes for a living thing.

2. What type of gene is inserted into some industries pork chops?
A. Pea Gene, cause it looks weird and unexpected

3. Would you eat genetically modified foods?
Maybe, I don't know if anything is wrong with them

4. Do you agree with genetically enhancing humans?
Uncertain

5. Who should be responsible for funding genetic engineering?
D. It doesn't matter

6. Limits should be put on genetic engineering.
Strongly Agree, cause it works on everything exept me.

1. Do you know what genetic engineering is?
Yes.

2. What type of gene is inserted into some industries pork chops?
Not sure...I'm guessing chicken, but I don't know.

3. Would you eat genetically modified foods?
Possibly. If they were healthier and tasted good, then yes. If they were really unhealthy, or they were screwing with the environment, then no.

4. Do you agree with genetically enhancing humans?
Agree, to an extent. If the person wants it, or it would greatly improve their quality of life (for example, curing an illness), then yes. If it's being done to people against their will, or it's harming them, no.

5. Who should be responsible for funding genetic engineering?
I'd say that whoever's doing the research should fund it, or POSSIBLY the government.

6. Limits should be put on genetic engineering.
Agree. There's a point where it goes too far.

Incorrect.

Quote:
Questions which include absolutes such as "always," "never," or "every" can be tricky, because situations where these words are true are rare. "All of the above" and "none of the above" choices are often not the right choice either. Remember that all of the choices (or none of the choices) have to be true for this answer to be correct. And finally, never leave a question unanswered. Guess if you have to, but always choose an answer. You have a one in three or one in four or one in five chance of being right just by sheer chance.

Everyone puts 'chicken gene', but pork chops are far nicer than chicken (unless it's southern fried), so adding chicken gene would make it worse. :P
