我们眼中的转基因——合肥调研

Transgenosis in Our Eyes——Investigation of Hefei

生物科学的发展日新月异，我们生活中的方方面面越来越离不开转基因技术。如今国内居民对转基因和非转基因的概念仍然模糊不清，此次实践有助于打破“只要是转基因都是好的”或者“只有非转基因才是天然安全的”这样的绝对观念。在整个实践中，我们发现很多人都处于转基因食品的困惑中，年龄和教育程度是影响人们对转基因认识的重要因素，其中大部分人都对转基因食品保持中立的态度。对此，我们建议有关政府与机构有必要对居民进行转基因方面的知识科普，并且可以适当邀请食品安全、转基因技术等方面的权威专家，以增加民众对其的可信度。

With the development of biological sciences, every aspect of our lives is increasingly dependent on transgenic technology. The concept of transgenosis and non-transgenosis is now blurred for the people in China. This practicle helps to break the absolute notion that “all transgenosis is good” or “only non-transgenosis plants are naturally safe”. Throughout the practice, we have found that many people are in confusion of transgenosis foods. Moreover, we also found that age and education are important factors that affect people’ s understanding of transgenosis, and most of them have a neutral attitude towards transgenic foods. In this regard, we recommend that relevant governments and agencies need to carry out knowledge about transgenic technology in the public and that they can properly invite authoritative experts in food safety and genetic engineering to increase the credibility of the public.
