Public Perceptions of Biotechnology is the second of a series of reports entitled New Developments in Biotechnology. This latest study is based on interviews with 1273 American adults and has a margin of error of 2 to 3%. Participants were queried on their attitudes toward science and the environment, as well as on matters directly related to biotechnology. Whereas public interest in science has eroded slightly, there is increased optimism about the benefits to be derived from science. Some 62% of the sample thought the benefits will outweigh the risks, whereas in 1980 a Harris survey indicated that only 58% of the country held this view.
