Genetic Modification - Your Opinion

Looking for the old results?
Hello. I'm a 17-year-old student in Wellington, New Zealand. For a math project I need to complete a survey and analyse the results. I chose to do a survey on peoples opinions on Genetic Modification (GM). I would appreciate it if you could complete this quick questionaire. It is completely anonymous but if you wish to discuss anything with me, please email me at stephsgmpoll@hotmail.com Also, please remember that this is the work of a 17-year-old girl. I am not a scientist, by including certain examples in my poll it does not mean I do or do not support them. Thank you for taking the time to do this survey.
