This survey

This survey is mainly about attitudes toward medical research using stem cells.

• It starts with a few background questions on science and genetic engineering.
• Then come detailed questions on different aspects of cloning and stem cells.
• It goes on to some of the things that shape attitudes on these issues.
• It ends with background items and a few questions on other current issues.

A lot of this is new, complicated, and surprising. We will explain everything carefully, but it is a demanding survey, no doubt about that. It is also very interesting.  It takes about 25 minutes on average, more for some people and less for others.

Please try – what you think is important and only you can tell us!
