Cloning Opinions

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how there have been many surveys conducted on public opinion concerning the issue of cloning and how many of these studies failed to separate answers according to gender, age and other demographic issues. It examines the issue of gender bias and how it is generally accepted that women and men think differently and that some of these differences have their root in biology and others have their basis in environment and social upbringing. In particular it looks at the topic of cloning and proposes a study to determine if the issues of gender differences have an effect on perceptions of its practice.

From the Paper:

"The primary focus of this study is to explore the factors that may influence the results of public opinions polls concerning cloning issues. There are many demographic issues that could serve to confound the results of the study such as socio-economic status, social issues including religion of the subject, educational status, rural or urban upbringing, amount of knowledge in general about cloning, mass media effects and many other issues. This study will focus on attempting to isolate the issue of gender as a predictor of acceptance or rejection of cloning. This study may be effected by the above issues, or other issues that have not been identified. An attempt will be made to eliminate these variables from the research by carefully selecting a balanced sample population."
