Research scientists surveyed on ethical issues in genetic medicine
This paper compares the attitudes of European and US scientists engaged in human genetics research about some of the ethical issues raised by recent advances in genetic testing, by the increasing likelihood of subsequent genetic therapies, and by hovering threats to the privacy of those tested in the face of concerns raised by individual and institutional third parties. Surveys of both groups indicate strong and fairly uniform support for attempt…
The science and ethics of engineering the human germ line
Genetic Testing and its Implications
To better understand ethical issues involved in the field of human genetics and promote debate within the scientific community, the author surveyed scientists who engage in human genetics research about the pros, cons, and ethical implications of genetic testing. This study contributes systematic data on attitudes of scientific experts. The survey finds respondents are highly supportive of voluntary testing and the right to know one's genetic her…
Ethical Debates in Genetic Engineering
A 1995 survey of 1,257 scientists working in the field of recombinant DNA research indicates wide areas of agreement as well as some noteworthy divisions when it comes to such thorny questions as patenting, germ-line research, food labeling, and biodiversity. In general, the scientists surveyed approve of patenting living organisms that result from rDNA research, but vary significantly on what should be patentable. They advocate human germ-line t…
German genetic engineering scientists and the German public
In a 1991 survey, we assessed how genetic engineering scientists in Europe viewed the influence of public attention on their field. In almost every respect, by far the most negative responses came from scientists in West Germany: only 10% perceived public attention as beneficial and 63% perceived it as harmful; more than 90% worried that Germany could lose its competitive edge in this field; and more than 70% viewed national regulations as too st…
How European and U.S. Genetic Engineering Scientists View the Impact of Public Attention on Their Field
Two recent surveys of genetic engmeering scientists have assessed how scientists in the United States and in Europe view the influence of regulation and public attention on recombinant DNA research. Generally, European researchers are more negative about this issue: they feel that public attention has hampered progress in the field more than it has helped it. The probable cause for this difference is that European countries tend to have more—and …
The Impact of Activist Pressures on Recombinant DNA Research
This survey of 430 recombinant DNA scientists currently engaged in research assesses the impact of public attention, political advocacy, and litigation on their work. The findings show that most researchers feel they have benefited from public attention to the field, but 34% feel they have been negatively affected. Sixty-one percent agree that as a result of litigation by activists, greater social responsibility on the part of scientists working …
