The Effects of Mordern Biotechnology
The results of the 1997 New Zealand Eurobarometer illustrate that New Zealanders are generally more positive about the use of modern biotechnology than in other countries. Key findings are: That New Zealanders are pragmatic about the use of biotechnology and are generally more appreciative of the uses of specific applications such as for foods, crops and medicines than their European Union (EU) and Japanese counterparts. While two out of every three New Zealanders think that genetic engineering of crop plants for resistance to pests should be encouraged, just over half would encourage the use of modern biotechnology in foods and drinks.
New Zealanders are very supportive of the use of biotechnology in medicine, except for the use of xenotransplants (organs for human transplants). New Zealanders generally have a higher background knowledge and understanding of biotechnology than most other countries including Japan, Canada and the EU. There are only about one out of four New Zealanders or Europeans that are convinced that current biotechnology regulations protect people from risks. ...
In New Zealand universities or research institutes were trusted by most people to tell the truth about modern biotechnology. ... New Zealanders are more aware of the information in the media about biotechnology than the Japanese, Canadians or Europeans and they rate it highly in terms of the importance as an issue. Television and newspapers are most frequently quoted as the source of information on biotechnology, but radio was significantly more important in New Zealand than in the other countries.
