<p>iGEM teams are leading in the area of Human Practices because they conduct their projects within a social/environmental context, to better understand issues that might influence the design and use of their technologies.</p>
 
−
<p>Teams work with students and advisors from the humanities and social sciences to explore topics concerning ethical, legal, social, economic, safety or security issues related to their work. Consideration of these Human Practices is crucial for building safe and sustainable projects that serve the public interest. </p>

<h1> Synthetic Biology survey </h1>
 
−
<p>Points to mention:<p>
 
−
<p>Some people still think bacteria are bad (they chose option 2 of the images). A large proportion of the sample population know a little or nothing about synthetic biology. Even though a large proportion of the population are accepting of synthetic biology, some people are still against it. When asked if you want to live longer - fewer people answered yes then compared to when they were asked if they want to live healthier longer. This shows that there is a need for our product - promoting healthier living
 
−
Large population think that they have not been educated about synthetic biology. And a large proportion of the population would like children to learn synthetic biology as a part of their curriculum.

UCL iGEM 2016 | BioSynthAge

OUR STORY



We are all stakeholders in ageing hence why Biosynthage has been steeped in controversy since its very inception. However, with controversy come important questions. Some believe that we should not meddle with the human ageing process whereas others believe that we should think of ageing as a disease in order to start treating it. Biosynthage has really enjoyed exploring the depths of many debates which has caused us to constantly stop and reevaluate the next step forward within our project. We are constantly realising that with every new person we speak to, we uncover depths of new perspectives we never knew existed within in our story.



In the following sections, you can have a glimpse at the decisive factors that drove our project and continue to influence the progress of our novel technologies in the future. Below is a timeline of events and activities that the UCL iGEM team were doing this summer! We have details of each event in our human practices silver page!
