What Polish people know about modern biotechnology
Continuing our research on public perception of modern biotechnology inPoland this time we surveyed the knowledge of modern biotechnology betweenPoles. The representative sample of Polish society (over 1000 Poles aged over15 years) answered questions like; did you eat genes for breakfast?, are genes intomato?, is BSE a product of genetic engineering? We found surprisingly goodfamiliarity of background biotechnology. Over 40% of Poles know that all tomatoes contain genes, over 20% eat genes for breakfast and one third know thatBSE is not a result of genetic engineering.
