Our human practice work involved several questions relating to bio-safety,social justice and public acceptance.Our astarice is actually a genetically modified organism,so our work focused on people’s concern about GMO.

We hoped our human practice work can influence more ordinary people.So,above all,we should realize other people's opinion to transgenic food.Because of that,we made a questionnaire about GMO.

The data we’ve obtained in questionnaire is showing below:

The respondents’ proportion of men and women is approximately balanced. The number of age group which between 18 from 25 is the majority. What’s more , the respondents have a Bachelor degree or a higher degree.

Question 4: Do you know what is Genetically modified (gm)?

Analysis of the Q4:4/5 of the respondents have a certain understanding for "GM technology"，1/5 respondents don’t understand this technology or even don’t know. This suggests that the "GM technology" was received by the majority of respondents.

Question 6: Will you eat gm food?

Analysis :About a third of the people can accept genetically modified (gm) food. 17% of people determined not to eat genetically modified food.Suggest that the public acceptance for genetically modified foods is improving.

Question 11: Is transgenosis beneficial or harmful in your opinions?

Analysis : Most people had skeptical attitude to genetically modification (gm) . For respondents,genetically modification is an emerging technology. The public don’t understand enough about genetically modified crops,so they cannot hold a certain attitude to it.

Question 12: Will you use gm products (non-food)?

Question 13: Have you ever heard of skin care product that contains astaxanthin?

Question 14:Will you choose skin care product or health food contains astaxanthin (gm) ？

If new genetically modified foods were put into market, about half of people can fully accept.While the acceptance of gm products (non-food) is even higher . However,our public do not know much about astaxanthin product at present, So we should Enlarge the propaganda.

According to the data we’ve got from investigation,we can see that most people are holding a neutral opinion on development of GMO,so it’s possible that we can help them to learn more about transgenic and dispel their qualm,thus make more people accept GMO products.So as to reach this aim,we designed a series of interesting activities.

After participating in several lectures and talks,we learnt a lot.Later we wrote a handbook about GMO as a summary,which contains our answers to many questions about GMO.We can use this as educational material.The list below is content of our handbook.
