Synbio: The Next GenerationThe High School SurveyTo get a sense as to where the field of synthetic biology may be headed, we surveyed high school students enrolled in science and engineering summer programs at the University of Calgary. We asked them how much they knew about synthetic biology, what their thoughts were on its implications and whether or not they would like a unit on Synthetic Biology in their high school curriculum. The ResultsClick the link to see all responses (media:High_School_Summary.pdf) .5% (30) of the students had previously heard of Synthetic biology Perceptions of Synthetic Biology:"It is a big step towards a better world" "The possibilities are endless" "It may revolutionize the human lifestyle" "It may be a cost-effective solution to many problems" ETHICAL ISSUES:"To create new life from scratch sounds unnaturally wrong" "Scientists should not "play God" "It may revolutionize the human lifestyle" Should Synbio be used for enhancement purposes?
