Report
PRESENTATION European society is a rich cultural tapestry, made up of heterogeneous ethical, religious, historical and philosophical backgrounds, which can often lead to divergent positions on ethical issues in science. The rapid pace of scientific and technological advance has evoked ethical concern among people in Europe. Examples of such developments include cloning human embryos, transgenic animals and development of new kinds of genetic testing.1 These questions may have potential implications for future generations. In the case of research and science, ethical principles include the need to ensure freedom of research as one of the key aspects of freedom of expression, and the need to work in the interests of the physical and moral integrity of individuals. These principles can conflict with one another when applied to the process of decisionmaking. While respecting cultural differences within Europe, the European Commission is aiming to promote science and research which respects fundamental ethical principles. The main activities of the Directorate-General for Research in promoting responsible research in Europe are: x

Pursuing the part of the Science and Society Action Plan dealing with the ethical dimension in science and the new technologies (the Action Plan was adopted by the European Commission in December 2001); Applying the ethical rules for the Research Framework programmes; Performing an ethical assessment of research projects funded by the European Commission i.e. analyse whether the principles established by the Charter of European Fundamental Human Rights are respected; Supporting, through the European Union's 6th Framework Programme for Research, research on ethical and social issues raised by developments in science and technology; Making known International Rules and Conventions relating to ethics.
Since the early 1990s, the European Group on Ethics has been helping to find common European positions, while respecting national identities.2 In this context, the Directorate-General Research wished to commission a poll on Europeans views on ethics in science and technology. Interviews were conducted faceto-face in people’s homes in their national language between January 3rd and February 15th 2005. The countries surveyed include the twenty-five Member States, the candidate countries (Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia and Turkey) and three of the EFTA3 countries (Iceland, Norway and Switzerland). The methodology used is that of the Standard Eurobarometer polls managed by the Directorate-General Press and Communication (unit “Opinion polls, press reviews, Europe Direct”). In the annex, a technical note details the interview techniques used by the institutes of the TNS Opinion & Social network as well as levels of confidence. The underlying objective of this analysis is to assess Europeans’ views on social values and ethics as well as citizens’ perceptions of actors involved in science 1 2 3

European Union as a whole; Individual countries; Socio-demographic variables; Other variables which we systematically cross-tabulated with the results for each question include: reflection on the meaning of life (results for Q1), religious/spiritual beliefs (results for Q2), strictness of upbringing (results for Q3), tendency to trust others (results for Q8), views on gender equality in politics, in the job market and in university education (results for Q10.1, Q10.2 and Q10.35) and finally, perceptions on what decisions about science and technology should be primarily based upon (results for Q11).

In some cases, due to the rounding of figures, displayed sums can show a difference of one point with the sum of the individual cells. Also, note that the total percentages shown in the tables of this report may exceed 100% where the respondent is allowed to give several answers to a particular question. 5 It is important to take note of the wording of the actual items here as the title “agree” in our tables refers to agreement with the corresponding statement: 10.1 On the whole, men make better political leaders than women, 10.2 If jobs are scarce, women have as much right to a job as men, 10.3 A university education is more important for a boy than for a girl. -3-

Social Values / Ethics in Europe today
Before examining citizens’ views on scientific and technological advance, we will first assess the values and ethical principles of European citizens. The themes we will address include citizen’s overall satisfaction with life, their religious and spiritual beliefs, their attitudes towards politics and the environment, gender equality and finally children’s upbringing. 1.1.
Satisfaction with life
A question which recurs throughout Eurobarometer surveys is how satisfied are citizens with their life. Respondents were asked to position themselves on a scale from 1 “not at all satisfied” to 10 “absolutely satisfied”. In order to facilitate our analysis, we created the following categories: 1-2 not at all satisfied, 3-5 not very satisfied, 6-8 fairly satisfied and 9-10 very satisfied. Source questionnaire: Q6 - More than four in five European citizens are satisfied with their life European citizens have a positive outlook on their life. The vast majority are satisfied with their life in general (82%). Although the general perception of life is positive in the European Union as a whole, there are strong differences between the surveyed countries. The Dutch are most positive with a staggering 97% indicating that they are satisfied with their life. Following next is two of the Nordic Member States, Denmark and Finland, with each revealing an overall satisfied score of 93%. The only exception is found in the candidate countries, as many as 57% of Bulgarians are dissatisfied with the life they lead (only 37% declare being content with their life).

Report
From a socio-demographic point of view, the respondents most satisfied with their life tend to be still studying (92%) compared to the average result for the EU (82%). As indicated in the introduction we cross-analysed the results of the question on trust in others (q8). Those who indicated that they “almost always” or “often” trust others were classified in the category “tend to trust”. Those who “only sometimes” trust others make up their own category and those who “rarely or almost never” trust were classified in the group “tend not to trust”. As we might expect, those who tend to trust others stand out for the relatively higher proportion of respondents who are satisfied with their lives.

Religious and spiritual beliefs
Europeans share common religious and philosophical roots in the various forms of Christianity, although this does not automatically translate into a European religious identity. In fact, European society is rich in its religious and philosophical diversity. Here our analysis will examine how often European citizens reflect on the fundamental philosophical question - the meaning and purpose of life. We will also assess the extent to which religious and spiritual beliefs are present in European society. Since these questions could bear an influence on individuals’ social values and ethical principles, we cross-tabulated these results for each question in our survey. Source questionnaire: Q1 & Q2 - Highly diverse religious and spiritual beliefs across Europe When citizens were asked how frequently they think about the meaning and purpose of life, three in four confirmed that they do (35% “often” think about this and 39% “sometimes” do). Only 8% declare that they never have such philosophical reflections. In each country surveyed, at least three in five citizens confirm that they ponder on the meaning and purpose of life. In order to better distinguish between countries, our analysis focuses on those who “often” ask themselves such philosophical questions. Q1.

Cypriots emerge with, by far, the highest proportion confirming that they “often” think about the meaning and purpose of life (69%). Following next are their Greek neighbours at 56%. On the contrary, fewer Austrians (26%) and Hungarians (27%) declare that they often reflect on the meaning and purpose of life compared to citizens in all other European countries surveyed. From a socio-demographic point of view, we will assess the overall results for those who think about the meaning of life i.e. those who answered “often” or “sometimes”.

Females (78%) are more inclined than males (69%) to contemplate this question. The more highly educated respondents (those who pursued their studies until at least the age of 20) have a greater tendency to ask themselves this question (79%) compared to those who left school by the age of 15 (71%). As stated above, we cross-tabulated the results to the question on religious or spiritual beliefs. Here, each answer item forms a category in itself in our cross-tabulation. In this instance, the more religious or spiritual respondents i.e. those who believe in a God (78%) or in a spirit or life force (77%) are considerably more inclined to think about the meaning of life than those who declare that they do not have religious or spiritual beliefs (61%).

The graph above is representative of the diverse nature of Europe’s religious and spiritual composition. The average results mask considerable differences in the beliefs of the various nationalities. Roman Catholicism is the official religion of Malta and 95% of Maltese respondents confirm that they believe in a God. The majority of the population of Cyprus is Greek Cypriot and Christian Orthodox6 and the results show that nine in ten declare that they believe in a God. Four in five respondents in Greece (81%), Portugal (81%) and Poland (80%) declare that they believe in a God and are followed by Italy and Ireland where respectively 74% and 73% confirm their religious beliefs. These are all countries where the Church as an institution has, historically, always been present and strong.

Of the candidate countries, Turkey, where the vast majority of the population is Muslim, ranks highest with 95% declaring their belief in a God. In Romania, where the vast majority of the population is Eastern Orthodox, 90% state that they believe in a God. In contrast, in Estonia and the Czech Republic less than one in five declare that they believe in a God. In these countries, at least one in two believes there is some sort of spirit or life force: Estonia (54%) and the Czech Republic (50%). In Sweden also a majority share similar spiritual beliefs (53%). The socio-demographic breakdown of results reveals some striking tendencies with regard to the profile of respondents who believe in a God.

As we might expect, the 55+ group stand out in the age category with a relatively higher proportion declaring that they believe in a God (63%) while less than one in two confirm this in the younger age groups.

who left school by the age of 15 can be distinguished for their tendency to believe in a God (65%). Those positioning themselves on the right of the political scale are more inclined to believe in a God (57%). In parallel to our observation above, those who meditate on the meaning and purpose of life (55%) have a greater inclination to declare that they believe in a God than those who do not have such philosophical reflections (44%). Later on in the survey, respondents were asked whether decisions on science and technology should be based primarily on an analysis of the risks and benefits or on the moral and ethical issues involved. As indicated in our introduction, this question was also systematically cross-tabulated with the results to all questions. In this regard, the tendency emerging here is that those who believe that such decisions should be based primarily on moral and ethical issues (55%) are more inclined to confirm that they believe in a God compared to those giving more importance to a risks-benefits analysis (47%) in science and technology decision-making. Respondents were also asked later on in the questionnaire about the strictness of their own upbringing: whether their parents were generally in charge and made the rules, classified as strict or whether their parents generally let everyone do what they wished, classified as not strict. Here too an interesting tendency emerges in that those who declare that their upbringing was strict (54%) are more likely to believe in a God than those brought up in a household without rules (39%). The results reveal some principal tendencies. The first being that there is seemingly a move away from religion in its traditional form - “I believe there is a God” - which seems to affect the Protestant countries, such as the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden, as well as countries with a strong secular tradition such as France and Belgium. At the same time there is an affirmation of traditional religious beliefs in countries where the Church or Religious Institutions have been historically strong, notably, Greece, Cyprus, Portugal and Ireland. In certain Eastern European countries, in spite of 40 or 50 years of communism, a strong attachment to religion emerges in Catholic countries such as Poland, Croatia and Slovakia. The third tendency is the development of a new kind of religion characterised by the belief that “there is some sort of spirit or life force”. This new religion or spirituality is more marked in certain Protestant countries, such as Sweden or Denmark as well as in the Czech Republic and Estonia.

The same three countries which ranked highest for their level of interest in following politics and current affairs once again emerge at the top for feelings of being well informed: Denmark (78%), the Netherlands and Sweden (both 76%). It would seem that in these three countries those who are interested in politics and current affairs keep abreast of current happenings.

With regard to the socio-demographic profile of those declaring that they feel well informed the same tendencies as those observed for interest in politics emerge suggesting that the two tend to go hand in hand. In order to asses the relationship between interest in politics and current affairs and the feeling of being well informed on such matters, we carried out a cross-analysis of the results of both questions.

At the EU level, those who confirm that they are interested in what is going on in politics and current affairs are more inclined to declare that they are well informed about what is going in politics and current affairs (76%) compared to the average EU citizen (58%). Conversely, those who are informed about what is going on in politics and current affairs are more inclined to declare that they are interested in such matters (88%) compared to the average EU citizen (67%). These results would tend to confirm our hypothesis regarding a positive relationship between interest in politics and current affairs and the feeling of being well informed.

than in any other Member State. 93% of their Nordic neighbours in Norway share the same view. Supposing citizens involve themselves more in politics and current affairs, what is the perception of the actual influence they have on Government action? Four in five EU citizens declare that they have too little influence. In each surveyed country, the vast majority feel that people like themselves have too little influence on what the Government does with close to nine in ten of this view in the Czech Republic (89%), Poland (89%) and Lithuania (88%). Turkish respondents are comparatively more pessimistic than their counterparts surveyed in the rest of Europe with 61% believing that they have too little influence on what the government does. In order to exert an influence on what the Government does citizens need to know how to get their voice heard. Only one in three EU citizens affirms that they know the channels through which they can voice their views. The only European countries where a majority are aware of how they can be heard on matters related to politics and public affairs are the Nordic Member States (Finland: 58%, Sweden: 54%, and Denmark: 52%) as well as the Netherlands (67%).
From a socio-demographic perspective, a greater sense of civic duty with regard to involvement in politics and current affairs is felt among those who pursued their studies until at least the age of 20 (82%) and/or managers (84%). The more philosophical and those who tend to trust others can also be distinguished for their perception that citizens should involve themselves in politics and current affairs.

Once again the results reveal significant differences within the European Union. On the one side we observe traditionally Catholic countries (Spain, Italy, Ireland, Poland and Slovakia), where citizens seem comparatively less interested in and well informed on politics or they have greater difficulty accessing political structures. While on the other hand, the study shows that in Northern Europe (Denmark, the Netherlands and Germany), marked by their Protestant culture are the more politicised societies. Citizens in these countries had been literate for a long time (individual’s access to the Bible required that people learn to read) and they became familiar with forms of local democracy through the management of religious assemblies.

As we have just seen, European citizens are very much convinced that we have a duty to protect nature. However, opinion on the right to exploit nature for the sake of human well-being is less clear-cut. The average level of agreement of 43% at the European Union level masks considerable differences at the national level. It would seem that in some countries while citizens recognise their duty to protect nature many believe that we nevertheless have a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being. For example in Slovakia, 85% acknowledge this duty yet 77% consider that we have a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being. A similar tendency is observed in Poland, 90% acknowledge our duty to protect nature and yet 70% believe that we have a right to exploit it for the sake of being happy and healthy. In contrast a different scenario is observed in Hungary where 91% consider that we have a duty to protect nature, yet only 10% believe that we have a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being. The Germans and Austrians tend to be of the same opinion with over nine in ten in both countries believing that we have a duty to protect nature and 12% in both believing that we have a right to exploit it for the sake of human well being.

The distinction between “human progress” and “human well being” is important here. “Human progress” connotes science, technology or innovation whereas “human well being” connotes the state of being happy and healthy. When it comes to the environment it would seem that individuals are more willing to exploit nature for the sake of human well being, whereas for matters which are “closer to home” so to speak they would rather limit its exploitation for “human progress” from which they may feel further removed.
Duty to protect nature even if this means limiting human progress
In order to assess the relationship between these two points of view, a scatter-plot is shown below. The X-axis represents the agreement rate with the statement “we have a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being”. The Y-axis represents the agreement rate with the statement “we have a duty to protect nature, even if this means limiting progress” (it should be noted that the y-axis does not begin at 0%). Q16.

At the socio-demographic level, there is across-the-board agreement that we have a duty to protect nature even if it means limiting human progress. Where opinion is less clear-cut the socio-demographic profile of respondents often bears an influence on results. Males (47%) are more likely than females (40%) to believe that we have a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being. A similar difference in opinion is observed between genders regarding the belief that exploiting nature may be inevitable if humankind is to progress: males (53%) and females (48%). Those positioning themselves on the right politically-speaking (50%) are more likely to declare that we have a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well-being compared to those more to the left or centre (respectively 40% and 41%).

Views on this matter vary from country to country. In Slovakia as many as 39% believe that a university education is more important for a boy than a girl. Relatively important agreement levels are also observed in Austria (32%), Hungary (31%) and Italy (30%). Looking at the candidate countries, even more citizens in Turkey, amounting to 46%, are of the opinion that a university education is more important for a boy than a girl. Gender equality in university education is supported by at least nine in ten citizens in Iceland (95%), Denmark (95%), Norway (93%), the Netherlands (93%) and Sweden (92%). Does the respondent’s gender bear an influence here? Relatively more males (19%) than females (15%) believe that a university education is more important for a boy than for a girl. As we might expect, the 55+ group (22%) have a greater tendency to agree that it is more important for a boy than for a girl to receive a university education. Also, those who left school by the age of 15 are more inclined to believe that a university education is more important for a boy than for a girl.

Safeguarding the principles of gender equality seem to be most widespread in the Nordic countries: in Sweden and Norway 85% disagree with the statement that on the whole men make better political leaders than women and in Denmark 83% disagree. There is a more marked difference in opinion between males (32%) and females (23%) on this issue with a greater tendency among the male population to believe that on the whole their gender equivalents make better political leaders than women. Women in more right-wing parties may stand less of a chance of being elected compared to their counterparts in left-wing parties as right-wing followers (34%) have a greater tendency to favour men as political leaders compared to those on the left (24%). Those believing in God (31%) are also more inclined to esteem that men make better political leaders than women compared to those who rather believe in a spirit or life force or without religious beliefs (23% for both).

In Malta (90%) and Slovakia (88%) more respondents declared that, in the home where they grew up, all children were given more or less the same treatment compared to other countries surveyed. The high results in Slovakia may come as somewhat of a surprise given our earlier observations in relation to gender equality. Slovakia is the country where the highest proportion of citizens believes that university education is more important for a boy than for a girl (39%) and it is also the country with the highest proportion believing that men make better political leaders than women (54%). The results here would tend to suggest that views on gender equality are not rooted in respondents’ upbringing. In Denmark (23%) and Austria (20%) most respondents declare that some children tended to have more privileges, being cited by at least one in five. Due to the overall high results for the item “all children were treated more or less equally”, the socio-demographic categories do not seem to bear a strong influence on results. The only point worth noting here is related to one of the questions systematically cross-tabulated with all results, the question on the strictness of respondent’s upbringing. It would seem that those who had a strict upbringing (82%) are more inclined to agree that all children were treated more or less equally compared to those brought up in an environment where everyone could do what they wished (75%).

Respondents were then asked to indicate the extent to which they believed that each of a series of qualities was important. There is such a widespread consensus among EU citizens regarding the overall importance of these values that our analysis focuses on the results for those declaring that it is “very important”. We should bear in mind that respondents are generally reluctant to position themselves on the extreme end of an answer scale. However, in this case, it would seem that EU citizens attach a particularly high level of importance to the qualities covered. In seven of the eight qualities, a majority of EU citizens declares that it is “very important” that they are taught to children at home. Q5.

The only value which less than one in two sees as being “very important” is “hard work”.

In all countries, either “tolerance and respect for other people” or “sense of responsibility” rank highest. In all countries surveyed the vast majority of respondents consider that these are “very important”. Turkey stands out for the high proportion of respondents who consider that many of these values are “very important”: “determination, perseverance” (89%), “thrift, economising and avoiding waste” (87%) and “hard work” (92%). Compared to other countries surveyed, the Maltese seem to attach a considerable level of importance to “obedience” with 85% confirming that they consider that it is “very important” that children learn this value. For Icelandic citizens, “independence” is considered to be a “very important” value by 85% of citizens. The Swedes (74%), more than any other nationality, esteem that encouraging children to develop their “imagination” is very important. - 35 -
Special EUROBAROMETER 225 “Social values, Science & Technology”

Looking at the socio-demographic profile of respondents, it seems that for “obedience”, “hard work” and “thrift, economising and avoiding waste”, the 55+ group and/or those who left school by the age of 15 are generally more inclined to declare that teaching such values to children in the home is “very important”. Those who had a strict upbringing are more inclined to consider that “obedience”, “sense of responsibility” and “thrift, economising and avoiding waste” are “very important” qualities which children should learn in the home. The more highly educated respondents have a greater tendency to value the encouragement of children’s imagination. It would therefore seem that, in the Europe of 25, there is a general tendency to encourage children to be sociable. The results show that the values or qualities of hard work, thrift and obedience result in lower scores compared to the more people values. Finally, significant scores are observed for individualistic values such as independence, imagination and determination. We could therefore conclude that there is a greater tendency for post-materialism to mark family values at the start of the 21st century.

Actors and decision-making in Science and Technology
We will first look at European citizens general attitudes towards science and technology before examining the future role of ethics in this domain. More specifically, here we will examine citizens’ views on the decision-making procedure and their opinions on the impact of different groups in the world of science and technology. 2.1.

Within the EU, the Greeks and Hungarians are most convinced that science and technology decisions should be mainly based on a risks-benefits analysis, with respective results of 70% and 67%. Looking at the candidate countries, an equally high proportion of Romanians share this perspective (68%). Citizens in the EFTA countries appear to share a common point-of-view with at least three in five in all three giving most importance to the moral and ethical issues involved: Iceland (64%), Norway (62%) and Switzerland (60%). In fact in these countries more citizens declare that decisions about science and technology should be based primarily on the moral and ethical issues involved compared to all other countries surveyed. The only other European country where at least a relative majority believes that decisions about science and technology should be based primarily on the moral and ethical issues is Finland (50%).

The countries where most citizens are of this perspective are Finland (83%), Cyprus (82%) and the Czech Republic (80%).

Those who tend to trust others stand out in their category for the relatively higher proportion which favours the advice of experts about the risks and benefits involved over the views of the general public. There is a marked difference in the results between those who previously declared that science and technology decision-making should be primarily based on a risks-benefits analysis and those who would rather prioritise the moral and ethical issues in these decisions. The former group has a greater tendency to favour the advice of experts in this analysis. Finally, respondents who believe in gender equality i.e. those who agree that women have as much right to a job as men and/or those who disagree that a university education is more important for a boy than for a girl, have a greater inclination to favour the advice of experts over that of the general public. - 41 -

Before closing this section, we will first look at the relationship between a risks and benefits analysis and consultation with experts in science and technology decisionmaking. In the scatter-plot below the X-axis represents the response rate for those favouring a risks and benefits analysis over moral and ethical issues. The Y-axis represents the results for those favouring the advice of experts over the general publics’ views of the risks and benefits.

At the European level, four in five citizens believe that environmental groups campaigning on issues related to science and technology have a positive effect on society. The Cypriots (93%) and Slovenians (90%) are most convinced of this while within the EU such positive support is lowest in the Netherlands (66%) and Hungary (68%). Turning now to perceptions on animal rights groups campaigning about the treatment of animals, 77% of EU citizens believe that they have a positive effect on society. Here, Malta ranks highest with 92% declaring their impact to be positive compared to Britain, the lowest ranking Member State, at 58%. The only country surveyed where a minority view the impact as positive is Bulgaria, although this is still the point of view of a comfortable relative majority of 49%. Before moving on to our next group, it is worth pointing out that the tendency with regard to the category “reflection on the meaning of life” once again emerges here: in all three instances, those who tend to reflect on the meaning of life are more inclined to view the impact of these interest groups as positive.

What is the perception of Europeans of the effect on society of scientists in industry doing research? At the EU level, 85% declare that scientists in industry doing research have a positive effect on society. In most countries, a slightly higher proportion of citizens believe that scientists in university have a positive effect on society compared to scientists in industry doing research. We could therefore say that there is a more positive vision of academic research than that in production. At the European Union level, 81% declare that industry developing new products has a positive effect on society. Ranking highest for their positive views here are Sweden and Denmark (both 90%). As was the case for their views on scientists in university or in industry doing research, Turkey ranks among the lowest, in this case with a result of 69%. From a socio-demographic perspective, males (84%) are more inclined to recognise the positive effect on society of industry developing new products compared to females (79%).

Three in four consider that the effect of their work in this domain is positive. The most widespread conviction of the Commission’s work in the area of regulation is in Cyprus (90%) and Greece (86%). In each Member State, a majority declares that the effect of the European Commission’s regulations on science and technology for all Member States is positive. The lowest level of results for “positive effect” occurs in Sweden (54%). Now turning to countries outside the borders of the European Union, the results show that the perceptions of the Commission’s work in this domain are positive. The level of support in Romania (77%) and Croatia (73%) is close to the EU average. Public opinion in Norway is also notably positive with 71% believing the effect of the Commission’s regulations on science and technology to be positive for Member States. Citizens were also asked for their opinion on public authorities in general with regard to regulating on science and technology and more specifically in relation to assessing the risks that may come from new technologies. At the European Union level, the level of positive perceptions is almost identical for public authorities in general (73%) as that observed for the European Commission. As was the case for their positive views regarding the Commission’s regulatory role in science and technology, the Cypriots (83%) and the Greeks (82%) rank highest, although this time along with the Finns (82%). The Bulgarians (50%) are least confident of the positive effect of public authorities regulating on science and technology with one in two declaring that the effect on society is positive. Focusing more specifically on public authorities assessing the risks that may come from new technologies, once again the Cypriots (88%), the Greeks (88%), the Finns (83%) and this time the Italians (83%) are at the top end of the scale for the high proportions perceiving their role here as positive.

What does the future hold in terms of quality of life? According to 58% of EU citizens the next generation will enjoy a better quality of life than we do now. This result is encouraging however positive perceptions of an improvement in quality of life are even more widespread when comparing this for our generation with that of our parents: 85% of EU citizens consider that for most people today, their quality of life is better than it was for their parents’ generation. Regarding the impact of science and technology on the quality of life, 77% of EU citizens are confident that science and technology will improve the quality of life of future generations. Once again, comparing this perception with the impact of developments in science and technology on the quality of life of our generation, 87% declare that such developments have improved the quality of life for our generation. Taking a closer look at the results for perceptions of the quality of life for future generations, the average result of 58% at the EU level masks considerable differences between Member States.

The Baltic countries are most optimistic with close to or over four in five declaring that the next generation will enjoy a better quality of life than we do now. Following next are three more of the new Member States. It would seem that perhaps the emergence of these countries from a communist regime to their recent status as Member States of the European Union, has led to a positive outlook in terms of quality of life for future generations. However, the exception to this is Slovenia where a majority (51%) disagrees that the next generation will enjoy a better quality of life than we do now. Other countries where respondents appear more pessimistic for the prospects of the next generation, with a majority disagreeing, are France (58%), Netherlands (54%), Luxembourg (53%), Sweden (53%), as well as Denmark and Belgium (both 51%). In each of the candidate countries, a majority declares that the next generation will enjoy a better quality of life than we do now. The prevailing pessimism in Switzerland is noteworthy with 63% of the opinion that the quality of life of the next generation will not improve.

Report
At the European Union level, 77% of EU citizens believe that science and technology will improve the quality of life of future generations. While above we observed a considerable diversity in opinion across Member States, it would seem that there is more of a consensus in public opinion regarding the impact of science and technology on the quality of life of future generations. In each country surveyed, a majority agrees that science and technology will improve the quality of life of future generations. Ranking at the upper end of the scale are six of the new Member States with the highest levels of agreement in Estonia (92%), Poland (91%) and Lithuania (90%) while the lowest result on this scale occurs in Austria (62%). Of the EFTA countries, Iceland stands out with close to nine in ten respondents (89%) agreeing that science and technology will improve the quality of life of future generations. In the candidate countries, close to or over four in five are optimistic with regard to the impact of science and technology on improving the quality of life of future generations. From a socio-demographic perspective, the respondent’s profile seems to bear an influence on the results for agreement that the next generation will enjoy a better quality of life than we do now. More specifically, it would seem that males, the 15-24 age group and/or those who are still studying tend to be most optimistic that the next generation will enjoy a better quality of life than we do now. Also, those who believe in a God have a greater tendency to be optimistic about the quality of life of the next generation.

Nine in ten EU citizens believe that giving people more say about how things are done both at work and where they live will be important for society in ten years time. In fact, 46% of respondents consider that this will be “very important” for our society. It is worth noting the high proportion of respondents in many countries which believes that giving people greater autonomy at work and where they live will be “very important”, notably, the Greeks (70%), the Swedes (64%), the Maltese (64%), the Slovenians (63%) and respondents from Luxembourg (62%). In the candidate countries, Turkey (74%) and Croatia (69%) can be distinguished for the relatively high proportions believing that this will be “very important” for our society.

Report
As was the case for opinions on giving people more autonomy, the vast majority in all countries surveyed believes that citizen participation in Government decision-making will be important for society. At the Member State level, in Poland, Greece, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Czech Republic and Malta a majority believes that this will be “very important” for our society. In this context, we should recall that four of these countries (Poland, Ireland, the UK and the Czech Republic) are planning to organise a referendum on the Constitutional Treaty. Evidence of participative democracy, through the use of an instrument such as a referendum, is a clear sign for citizens that they are being given a say in Government decisions. Respondents in Turkey (68%) and Croatia (63%) are particularly optimistic about the prospects for participative democracy with over three in five believing that giving people more say in important Government decisions will be “very important” for our society in ten years time.

3.2.2 Protection of privacy and freedom of information Source questionnaire: Q15a item 3 and Q15b item 1 - Over two in three citizens believe that protecting our personal privacy while protecting the freedom of speech and information will be very important for our society in ten years time Article 8 of the Charter of European Fundamental Rights provides that “Everyone has the right to the protection of personal data concerning him or her. Such data must be processed fairly for specified purposes and on the basis of the consent of the person concerned of some other legitimate basis laid down by law. Everyone has the right of access to data which has been collected concerning him or her, and the right to have it rectified”. With the fast pace of technological developments, the challenge of protecting information about the private life of individuals has become increasingly difficult. For example, purchasing goods over the Internet often requires that a considerable amount of personal information is disclosed by the buyer. The potential value of this information from a marketing perspective presents a challenge to society to avoid its misuse and exploitation. Q15a.3 For each of the following, how important do you think it will be for our society in ten years time? Protecting information about our private life from misuse and exploitation

94% of EU citizens believe that protecting information about our private life from misuse and exploitation will be important for our society in ten years time. In fact, two in three believe this will be “very important”. In all countries surveyed, a majority believes that protecting information about our private life from misuse and exploitation is “very important”. The highest results here are observed in the Czech Republic (81%), Greece (78%) and the United Kingdom (77%). More than four in five Icelandic respondents (83%) and Norwegians (81%) are of this opinion. Turning now to protecting freedom of speech and information, Article 11 of the Charter of European Fundamental Rights states that “Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. The freedom and pluralism of the media shall be respected”. Some countries have introduced Freedom of Information Acts granting citizens legal rights to access information held by public bodies.

Report
Science and technology may not be the first thing that comes to mind when we think of developing countries, yet for 72% of the Irish and 70% of Dutch respondents it will be very important for our society to ensure that these poorer countries share in its benefits. An equally high result for “very important” is apparent in Iceland (74%) and Norway (72%). Countries and regions need assistance in overcoming structural deficiencies and in developing their comparative advantages in order to be able to compete both in the internal market and outside. EU cohesion policy was strengthened some 15 years ago at the time the single market project was initiated precisely to meet these parallel needs. Such assistance is even more important now in the face of the widening of disparities which enlargement entails10. One in two EU citizens is of the opinion that reducing economic inequalities among people living in the EU will be very important for society in the future. Greece (73%), one of the Cohesion countries, stands out for the proportion of its citizens believing that reducing inequalities among people living in the European Union will be very important for our society in ten years time. The candidate countries also believe in its future prioritisation with at least three in five of the opinion that the reduction of economic disparities among EU citizens will be very important for our society in ten years time. 37% of EU citizens consider that integrating minorities and other cultures into our society will be very important. Turkey (63%) and Spain (55%) are the only countries where a majority is of the opinion that integrating minorities and other cultures into our society will be very important in ten years time. The result in Ireland, a country where the tides of migration have recently turned with the growth of the economy, is also notably high, where 48% foresee that integrating minorities and other cultures into our society will be very important.

3.2.5 Protection of the unborn Source questionnaire: Q15a item 2 - Range of perceptions across European countries with regard to protecting the dignity of any human unborn life According to 53% of EU citizens protecting the dignity of any human unborn life will be very important for our society in ten years time. The results in Malta, Greece and Ireland stand out with over seven in ten respondents foreseeing that this will be very important. Within the European Union, Malta is the only Member State where abortion is illegal in all circumstances. In Ireland, abortion is permitted to save the woman’s life. In Greece, abortion is permitted on request provided it is within the authorized period11. In this context, it is also worth recalling our earlier observations whereby Malta, Greece and Ireland ranked at the upper end of the scale for the proportion of citizens believing that there is a God.

From a socio-demographic perspective females (55%) are more inclined to consider that protecting the dignity of any human unborn life is very important. Those who declare that they reflect on the meaning of life (55%) and those who believe in a God have a greater tendency to be of this opinion. Citizens who say that they have had a strict upbringing are more inclined to predict that protecting the dignity of any human unborn life will be very important for our society in ten years time. Finally, those who believe that decisions on science and technology should be based on moral and ethical issues are more inclined to believe that this issue will be very important for society in the future.

Impact of new technologies
New technologies are currently being developed in a number of areas. Respondents were asked for their opinion on the effect of these on our way of life in the next 20 years. Source questionnaire: Q13 - European citizens are on the whole open to the advances of new technologies and are confident of their positive effect on our way of life in the next 20 years On the whole it would seem that European citizens are receptive to the advances of new technologies. In all of the areas covered in this question (with the exception of nanotechnology where the no-response rate was high in all countries), a majority of respondents at the EU level declared their belief that the development of new technologies will have a positive effect on society in the next 20 years. We will first briefly looking at some of the results where particularly high levels of optimism are observed. 94% of EU citizens believe that medicines and new medical technologies will have a positive effect on our way of life in the next 20 years (the table shows the results for those who responded “very positive” or “fairly positive”). In almost all countries surveyed at least nine in ten are of this opinion. It would therefore seem that citizens are confident that such developments can only improve the well being of humankind. Once again we see an overall consensus among European citizens with regard to the effect of green energy sources or energy saving measures. At the European Union level, 91% believe that solar energy will have a positive effect on society and 92% declare that energy saving measures in the home will impact society in a positive way. Still on the environment, citizens appear confident of the advantages of new energy sources to power cars, with 90% declaring that this will have a positive effect on our way of life. Regarding computers and information technology as well as the Internet, 87% of EU citizens consider that the former and 78% believe that the latter will have a positive effect on society in 20 years time. Below we will examine in more detail some of the potentially more controversial areas including biotechnology and genetic engineering, high-tech agriculture as well as nuclear energy for electricity production.

Biotechnology and genetic engineering In just a few decades, our understanding of the ways in which living things function has progressed greatly. This progress has stimulated, and in turn has been stimulated and made possible by, the development of new technologies allowing us to use and modify living systems and organisms with ever increasing precision, as well as to control them more effectively. The media have responded rapidly to the scientific revolution that biotechnology represents with some praising its innovations and others denouncing the risks it poses12. Before looking to Europeans views on the prospects of biotechnology and genetic engineering, the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines biotechnology as “the biological science when applied especially in genetic engineering and recombinant DNA technology” and genetic engineering as “the directed alteration of genetic material by intervention in genetic processes.” At the EU level 65% of citizens believe that biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a positive effect on our way of life in the next 20 years. In all countries surveyed with the exception of Austria, a majority is of the opinion that new technologies in biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a positive effect on our society. Two of the EFTA countries surveyed (Iceland: 86% and Norway: 81%) stand out with at least four in five of the opinion that such developments will have a positive effect on our society. Within the EU, the highest ranking countries for their positive perceptions are: Hungary 74%, Spain and Denmark (both 72%), the Czech Republic and Estonia (both 71%), followed by Sweden and Italy (both 70%). The countries where least respondents believe that the effect of the development of such technologies will be advantageous for our way of life in the coming 20 years are: Austria (43%), Greece (53%) and Latvia (54%).

The socio-demographic breakdown of results reveals some interesting differences. Males (69%) are more likely than females (62%) to convey their belief that advances in biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a positive effect on our way of life in 20 years time. Students and those who pursued their studies until at least the age of 20 are more likely to stand out for their greater inclination to declare their positive perceptions. Those who claim that they reflect on the meaning of life and/or those who tend to trust others are more likely to confirm their belief that advances in this area will have a positive effect on society. Also, respondents who declare that decisions about science and technology should be primarily based on a risks and benefits analysis (72%) have a greater tendency to believe that the effect of biotechnology and genetic engineering will be positive for society compared to those who believe such decisions should be primarily based on the moral and ethical issues (63%). Finally, those who believe that women have as much right to a job as men even if jobs are scarce are more inclined to consider that biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a positive effect on society in the next 20 years (66%) compared to those who disagree (61%). Citizens’ perceptions of the environment, in particular our duty to protect nature or our right to exploit it, could well have an impact on opinions on biotechnology and genetic engineering. The table below shows the cross-tabulation of results for the biotechnology and genetic engineering variable and opinions on our right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being (q16.1). At the EU level, those who believe that we have a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being are more inclined to be of the opinion that biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a positive effect on our way of life in the next 20 years (70%) compared to those of the opposite opinion (63%). It is also worth noting that one in four of the latter group believe that biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a negative effect on our way of life in the next 20 years.

High-tech agriculture Governments and the European Commission have begun to address the question of the applications of biotechnology, in particular in the areas of agriculture, food, pharmaceuticals and health care. Respondents were asked for their views on high-tech agriculture in particular. High-tech agriculture would not of course be limited to biotechnology - this is referring to advanced technologies in the broad sense of the term. At the EU level, a similar result to that observed for biotechnology and genetic engineering emerges here: 66% of EU citizens believe that this will have a positive effect on our way of life in the next 20 years. Once again, in all countries surveyed, this time however with the exception of France, a majority declare that the effects of new technologies in this domain will be positive on our way of life in the coming 20 years. It is interesting to note that ranking at the upper end of the scale are many of the new Member States: Slovakia (84%), Lithuania and Hungary (both 81%) as well as Cyprus, the Czech Republic and Poland (80% in all three). Public opinion in France is notably different compared to that in other European countries: only 36% believe that advances in high-tech agriculture will have a positive effect on society in 20 years time. It is important to bear in mind that the meaning of “high-tech agriculture” is based on respondents own perceptions. For example for some this could be associated with biotechnology whereas for others it may be the replacement of manual labour with machinery. From a socio-demographic perspective, a similar tendency to that revealed above arises with regard to gender: males (70%) are more likely than females (63%) to believe in the positive effect of high-tech agriculture and decisions about science and technology: those who believe that such decisions should be primarily based on a risks-benefits analysis (72%) compared to those favouring accounting for the moral and ethical issues (65%). Finally, respondents who do not uphold gender equality when it comes to political leadership (agree that on the whole men make better political leaders than women) and university education (agree that a university education is more important for a boy than for a girl) are more inclined to believe that high-tech agriculture will have a positive effect on our way of life in the next 20 years compared to those in favour of gender equality.

Nuclear energy for electricity production Focusing now on perceptions of the effect of nuclear energy for electricity production, the results show that 52% of EU citizens consider that nuclear energy for electricity production will have a positive effect on society. The detail by country reflects the range of opinions across Europe on this subject. Respondents in the three of the candidate countries are most convinced of its positive effect for society in 20 years time: Romania (73%), Bulgaria (70%) and Turkey (68%). Public opinion in the three EFTA countries is the polar opposite of this with less than one three declaring that the effect of nuclear energy for electricity production will be positive for our society: Norway (33%), Switzerland (32%) and Iceland (20%). Opinion in individual Member States is situated between both extremes. Q13.6 For each of these, do you think it will have a positive, a negative or no effect on our way of life in the next 20 years?

In fact, 41% of those who disagree that we have a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being believe that nuclear energy for electricity production will have a negative effect on our way of life in the next 20 years compared to 28% who agree that we have such a right.

Dolly the sheep, born in 1996, may have been the world's most famous clone, but she was not the first. Cloning creates a genetically identical copy of an animal or plant. Many animals, including frogs, mice, sheep, and cows, had been cloned before Dolly. So Dolly was not the first clone, and she looked like any other sheep, but the reason she caused so much excitement and concern was that she was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell, rather than an embryo. This was a major scientific achievement, but also raised ethical concerns14. European citizens were asked for their views on cloning animals when this is for research into human diseases. At the EU level public opinion on this issue is split across the answer options: 31% condemn this practice, 22% could accept it in exceptional circumstances and 35% only if it is highly regulated and controlled. Could this suggest a certain level willingness among EU citizens regarding the approval of cloning animals for the sake of human health? However, in this context we should bear in mind our earlier observation where we saw that in each country surveyed a majority of respondents believe that we have a duty to protect the rights of animals whatever the cost. More citizens in Switzerland (50%), Luxembourg (49%) and the United Kingdom (44%) would condemn this practice compared to any other country surveyed. On the other hand, Spain (47%), Belgium (46%), Hungary (44%) and Estonia (43%) stand out for the relatively higher proportions declaring that they would approve of cloning animals for the sake of medical research for humans if this was highly regulated and controlled.

It would seem that at the EU level while Europeans are strong in their stance against cloning human beings, they are more receptive to the possibility of cloning human stem cells from embryos to make cells and organs that can be transplanted into people with diseases. 41% of EU citizens would approve of this if it is highly regulated and controlled. A majority of citizens in Sweden and Iceland would approve of cloning human cells from embryos to make cells and organs that can be transplanted into people with diseases only if it is highly regulated and controlled, with respective results of 55% and 52%. It is worth recalling our previous results where we saw that 64% of Icelandic respondents believe that science and technology decisions should be primarily based on moral and ethical issues. More respondents in Greece, Switzerland, Slovenia and Cyprus stand would condemn cloning human cells from embryos more than any other country surveyed. It is worth recalling that Greece stood out earlier with 74% declaring that protecting the dignity of any human unborn life will be very important for our society in 10 years time.

Females (37%) are more likely not to approve under any circumstances of cloning animals for research into human diseases compared to males (25%). Males on the other have a greater tendency to accept this only if it is highly regulated and controlled (39%) compared to their female counterparts (31%). Those who left school by the age of 15 are more inclined to never approve of animal cloning for this reason compared to students and those who pursued their studies to a later age whereas these latter groups have a greater tendency to approve of its use only if it is highly regulated and controlled.

Citizens’ views on nature would seem to be a factor which could influence perceptions of the use of cloning. The cross-tabulation of results for the “cloning animals such as monkeys or pigs for research into human diseases” and opinions on our “right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being” (q16.1) reveal some differences here. At the EU level, those who believe that we have a right to exploit nature have a somewhat greater tendency to approve of this kind of cloning in all circumstances (12%) compared to those who disagree (5%) whereas those who disagree that we have this right are more inclined to never approve of this kind of cloning (36%) in comparison to those who agree (25%).

We will look at the responses for those who answered that they would “never” approve of their use and those who would approve of their use “only if it is highly regulated and controlled”. 54% of EU citizens are against developing a genetic test for children that would identify their talents and weaknesses and 19% would only approve of this if it is highly regulated and controlled. This is the only use of genetics for which a majority declares their opposition. 42% would never approve of developing a genetic test that would prolong our expected life span by 25 years. Turning now to health-related issues, a matter which we have seen citizens feel closely attached to, the results show that one in three EU citizens would never approve of developing a genetic test that would tell us about diseases we might get even if we cannot do anything about them. However, 27% of respondents in the EU would approve of this if it is highly regulated and controlled. We saw earlier that the vast majority of EU citizens expressed their opposition to cloning human beings when natural reproduction is not possible due to a genetic disease. Here we see that 31% of EU citizens would never approve of genetic testing to produce a child that could act as a bone-marrow donor for a brother or sister who has a life threatening disease. Human genetic data, gathered through biological samples (blood, tissue, saliva, sperm, etc.) play an increasingly important role in our lives. They are already providing answers to questions asked by judges and police: proof of paternity, identity of a sex criminal or an accident victim. In varying degrees, they also answer medical questions: genetic tests can already predict certain diseases and other, less conclusive tests, indicating a predisposition, provide invaluable information for prevention. Research based on human genetic data is extremely promising: we can expect more tests of increasing reliability as well as new approaches for understanding and treating innumerable diseases. As a result, human genetic data banks are multiplying. Given that today even the smallest hospitals possess, if not processed genetic data, at least a collection of DNA samples ready for processing, it is difficult to know how many banks exist. The largest, of them have already gone beyond the mark of one million data. The trend is irreversible and entire countries, Iceland and Estonia soon, followed by Latvia, have decided to undertake a genetic census of their entire population. Yet, like many other aspects of the ongoing genetic revolution, they pose as many problems as they resolve.15 What are the perceptions of Europeans with regarding to such genetic data? 41% approve of the storing of genetic data of our population in data banks in order to study the genetic causes of human diseases. The proportion which would never approve of this is considerably lower when compared to observations made above with regard to 15

It would seem however that it is important for some that the use of such data banks is clearly understood.

Special EUROBAROMETER 225 “Social values, Science & Technology”
Report
From a socio-demographic perspective, it would seem that the key factors influencing results when it comes to uses of genetic data are gender as well as views on the primary basis for decisions about science and technology. First on gender, females are generally more inclined to convey their total opposition to the various uses of genetics covered in this question compared to males. Males on the other hand have a greater tendency to approve of these uses if they are subject to high regulation and control. Respondents who declare that they would rather if decisions about science and technology were primarily based upon moral and ethical issues tend to be more likely to convey their total opposition to these uses of genetics. Yet, those who would rather if science and technology decisions were based primarily on a risks-benefits analysis have a greater inclination to convey their approval if high regulation and control is imposed. In the previous section on the impact of new technologies, we saw that 65% of EU citizens declared that biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a positive effect on our way of life in the next 20 years. We cross-tabulated the results to this question with the various uses of genetics analysed above. As we might expect, in each instance, those who believe that biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a negative impact on our way of life in the next 20 years systematically stood out for their greater inclination to respond that that they would never approve of genetics being used for the purposes identified in this question. Conversely, those who believe that the effect of biotechnology and genetic engineering will be positive for our way of life in the coming 20 years have a greater inclination to approve of the application of genetics in the identified situations if it is highly regulated and controlled. From this we could assume that an overall positive perception of biotechnology and genetic engineering implies acceptance of its application while an overall negative impression of biotechnology and genetic engineering tends to lead to a rejection of its application regardless the use.

3.4.3 Genetically modified organisms Source questionnaire: Q17a items 7 and 8, q17b item 7 - Large diversity in public opinion at the national level on the use of genetically modified organisms for meat products or crops The World Health Organisation defines genetically modified organisms (GMOs) as organisms in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally. The technology is often called “modern biotechnology” or “gene technology”, sometimes also “recombinant DNA technology” or “genetic engineering”. It allows selected individual genes to be transferred from one organism into another, also between non-related species.16 What are European citizens’ views on GMOs? When asked specifically to what extent they would approve of growing meat from cell cultures so that we do not have to slaughter farm animals, more than one in two conveys their opposition. Q17a.7 …please tell me to what extent, if at all, you approve of its use. Growing meat from cell cultures so that we do not have to slaughter farm animals Never

The range of opposition varies across countries with as many as 88% responding “never” in Cyprus to 23% of this opinion in Bulgaria. Although in nineteen of the Member States, at least one in two declares that they would never approve of this practice. Opposition is also strong in the three EFTA countries surveyed as well as in Romania and Croatia. Citizens were asked whether they would approve of developing genetically modified crops in order to increase the variety of regionally grown food. 37% declare that they would never approve of this while 31% would approve of this provided it was highly regulated and controlled. The national results show that respondents are less condemning of GMOs for this purpose. In six of the countries surveyed a majority respond “never”: Croatia (60%), Switzerland (58%), Cyprus (56%), Greece (54%), Slovenia (53%) and France (52%).

Looking now at the environment, a comparatively low proportion of EU citizens (19%) declare that they would “never” approve of developing genetically modified bacteria that could clean up the environment after environmental catastrophes. An equal proportion, 20%, respond that they would approve of this “only in all circumstances” while 37% say that they would approve of this “only if it is highly regulated and controlled”. Malta stands out for the considerably high proportion (47%) saying that they would approve of developing genetically modified bacteria to clean up after environmental catastrophes.

From a socio-demographic perspective females (57%) are more likely than males (52%) to voice their disapproval of growing meat from cell culture so that we do not have to slaughter farm animals. This same tendency is observed with regard to the development of genetically modified crops. Students have a greater tendency to express their approval of both of these practices only if it is highly regulated and controlled. Also, in both instances, those who express their preference for science and technology decision-making being based primarily on the moral and ethical issues involved are more inclined to respond “never” compared to those who favour a risks-benefits analysis. Those from rural areas or villages have a greater inclination to express their disapproval of growing meat from cell cultures so that we do not have to slaughter farm animals.

The cross-tabulation of the results to this question with the responses to those on humanity’s relationship to nature reveals certain differences in opinion. A majority of those who agree that we have a duty to protect nature even if this means limiting human progress never approve of growing meat from cell cultures so that we do not have to slaughter farm animals (55%) compared to those who disagree with the statement on our duty to protect nature (47%). The latter group are more inclined to cite “only in exceptional circumstances” (19%) compared to those feeling a sense of duty regarding environmental protection (12%).

CONCLUSION Science and Technology is a fast moving field. Its development and new discoveries push individuals to face more and more challenges often concerning the conflict between the benefits implied and societies’ values and cultural heritage. Looking at the results of the survey we have firstly seen that in Europe religion and spirituality are still important: four in five EU citizens have religious or spiritual beliefs and only 18% declare that they don’t believe that there is any sort of spirit, God or life force. Nevertheless this spirituality is heterogeneous and is felt with different intensity across Europe: there is seemingly a move away from religion in its traditional form - “I believe there is a God” - which seems to affect the Protestant countries as well as countries with a strong secular tradition. At the same time, there is an affirmation of traditional religious beliefs in countries where the Church or Religious Institutions have been historically strong, as well as in some Eastern European countries. The third tendency is the development of a new kind of religion characterised by the belief that “there is some sort of spirit or life force”. This new religion or spirituality is more marked in certain Protestant countries, such as Sweden or Denmark as well as in the Czech Republic and Estonia. From the point of view of the public sphere, there is a strong sense of civic duty felt among European citizens with regard to involvement in politics (75% believe that people should involve themselves in politics and current affairs) but a certain sense of defeatism is observed with four in five declaring that they have too little influence in the Government’s actions. This issue is compounded by the fact that only one in three know how to get their voice heard in the political arena. When it comes to university education and right to jobs in a difficult economic climate, Europeans are strong in their stance on gender equality. However, in the Czech Republic and Slovakia at least one in two believes that men make better political leaders than women What values do Europeans want to pass on to their children? In the Europe of 25, there is a general tendency to encourage children to be sociable: tolerance and respect for others as well as a sense of responsibility are the values EU citizens attach most importance to. Respect for the environment has become an increasingly important social value in this post-materialism time. Nevertheless, the results show conflicting views on citizens’ sense of duty to protect nature in spite of limiting human progress (89% at the EU level) and the right to exploit it for the sake of human well-being (43% at the EU level). A first view on the interaction between ethics and science shows a European society which appears to give priority to objectivity as far as science and technology decisionmaking process is concerned: a majority favours a risks-benefits analysis (53%) over the moral and ethical issues (33%). Such a view is also closely linked in the public sphere with a strong perception of the authority of scientists and experts: when asked with whom science and technology decision-makers should consult, two in three favour the advice of experts about the risks and benefits involved over the general public’s views (23%).

Special EUROBAROMETER 225 “Social values, Science & Technology”
Report
In effect, there is an overwhelming recognition of what science and technology have done for society until now, as well as a positive consensus when it comes to visualizing their effects on the future quality of life. This is the case even for the more controversial areas of research such as biotechnology, genetic engineering and hightech agriculture, which a majority of citizens believes will have a positive effect on our way of life. Yet, when directly confronted with specific technological and scientific applications, Europeans still prove to be highly influenced by moral considerations, proving that science is not completely value-free: while EU citizens seem somewhat prepared to accept cloning animals (35%: only if it is highly regulated and controlled and 22% only in exceptional circumstances) and cloning human stem cells from embryos (41%: only if it is highly regulated and controlled and 20% only in exceptional circumstances) for the sake of human health, the majority clearly draws the limit when it comes to cloning human beings (59% respond “never”). These results show that in cases of potential conflict between a scientific application and the individuals’ ethic system, public authorities’ regulation and control are essential. From this perspective, the European Commission could play an extremely important role as three in four citizens believe that its work in regulating on science and technology for all EU countries has a positive effect on society. Europeans’ strong attachment to social values and ethics shows up clearly in the results. Citizens predict that consideration of our value system, including for example the protection of personal data, freedom of expression and information, equality and integration as well as the environment will continue to remain very important for our society in ten years time. Perceptions of some of the latest advances in science and technology including cloning, genetically modified organisms and the application of genetics are heavily influenced by the social values and ethics of citizens. The challenge of science and technology decision-makers is to pursue the pace of developments made while accounting for the ethical aspects which Europeans feel so strongly attached to.

SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER N°225 « Social values, science and technology » TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Between 3rd January and 15th February 2005, the TNS Opinion & Social, a consortium created between Taylor Nelson Sofres and EOS Gallup Europe, carried out wave 63.1 of the EUROBAROMETER, on request of the EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Directorate-General Press and Communication, Opinion Polls. The SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER N°225 is part of wave 63.1 and covers the population of the respective nationalities of the European Union Member States, resident in each of the Member States and aged 15 years and over. The EUROBAROMETER 63.1 has also been conducted in the candidate countries (Bulgaria, Romania Croatia and Turkey) and in three EFTA countries (Iceland, Norway and Switzerland). In these countries, the survey covers the national population of citizens of the respective nationalities and the population of citizens of all the EU Member States that are residents in those countries and have a sufficient command of one of the respective national language(s) to answer the questionnaire. The basic sample design applied in all states is a multistage, random (probability) one. In each country, a number of sampling points was drawn with probability proportional to population size (for a total coverage of the country) and to population density. In order to do so, the sampling points were drawn systematically from each of the "administrative regional units", after stratification by individual unit and type of area. They thus represent the whole territory of the countries surveyed according to the EUROSTAT NUTS II (or equivalent) and according to the distribution of the resident population of the respective nationalities in terms of metropolitan, urban and rural areas. In each of the selected sampling points, a starting address was drawn, at random. Further addresses were selected as every Nth address by standard "random route" procedures, from the initial address. In each household, the respondent was drawn, at random (following the "closest birthday rule"). All interviews have been conducted face-to-face in people's home and in the appropriate national language. As far as the data capture is concerned, CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview) was used in those countries where this technique was available.

For each country a comparison between the sample and the universe was carried out. The Universe description was derived from Eurostat population data or from national statistics offices. For all countries surveyed, a national weighting procedure, using marginal and intercellular weighting, was carried out based on this Universe description. As such in all countries, gender, age, region and size of locality were introduced in the iteration procedure. For international weighting (i.e. EU averages), TNS Opinion & Social applies the official population figures as provided by EUROSTAT or national statistic offices. The total population figures for input in this post-weighting procedure are listed above. Readers are reminded that survey results are estimations, the accuracy of which, everything being equal, rests upon the sample size and upon the observed percentage. With samples of about 1,000 interviews, the real percentages vary within the following confidence limits:

PRESENTATION European society is a rich cultural tapestry, made up of heterogeneous ethical, religious, historical and philosophical backgrounds, which can often lead to divergent positions on ethical issues in science. The rapid pace of scientific and technological advance has evoked ethical concern among people in Europe. Examples of such developments include cloning human embryos, transgenic animals and development of new kinds of genetic testing.1 These questions may have potential implications for future generations. In the case of research and science, ethical principles include the need to ensure freedom of research as one of the key aspects of freedom of expression, and the need to work in the interests of the physical and moral integrity of individuals. These principles can conflict with one another when applied to the process of decisionmaking. While respecting cultural differences within Europe, the European Commission is aiming to promote science and research which respects fundamental ethical principles. The main activities of the Directorate-General for Research in promoting responsible research in Europe are: x

Pursuing the part of the Science and Society Action Plan dealing with the ethical dimension in science and the new technologies (the Action Plan was adopted by the European Commission in December 2001); Applying the ethical rules for the Research Framework programmes; Performing an ethical assessment of research projects funded by the European Commission i.e. analyse whether the principles established by the Charter of European Fundamental Human Rights are respected; Supporting, through the European Union's 6th Framework Programme for Research, research on ethical and social issues raised by developments in science and technology; Making known International Rules and Conventions relating to ethics.
Since the early 1990s, the European Group on Ethics has been helping to find common European positions, while respecting national identities.2 In this context, the Directorate-General Research wished to commission a poll on Europeans views on ethics in science and technology. Interviews were conducted faceto-face in people’s homes in their national language between January 3rd and February 15th 2005. The countries surveyed include the twenty-five Member States, the candidate countries (Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia and Turkey) and three of the EFTA3 countries (Iceland, Norway and Switzerland). The methodology used is that of the Standard Eurobarometer polls managed by the Directorate-General Press and Communication (unit “Opinion polls, press reviews, Europe Direct”). In the annex, a technical note details the interview techniques used by the institutes of the TNS Opinion & Social network as well as levels of confidence. The underlying objective of this analysis is to assess Europeans’ views on social values and ethics as well as citizens’ perceptions of actors involved in science 1 2 3

European Union as a whole; Individual countries; Socio-demographic variables; Other variables which we systematically cross-tabulated with the results for each question include: reflection on the meaning of life (results for Q1), religious/spiritual beliefs (results for Q2), strictness of upbringing (results for Q3), tendency to trust others (results for Q8), views on gender equality in politics, in the job market and in university education (results for Q10.1, Q10.2 and Q10.35) and finally, perceptions on what decisions about science and technology should be primarily based upon (results for Q11).

In some cases, due to the rounding of figures, displayed sums can show a difference of one point with the sum of the individual cells. Also, note that the total percentages shown in the tables of this report may exceed 100% where the respondent is allowed to give several answers to a particular question. 5 It is important to take note of the wording of the actual items here as the title “agree” in our tables refers to agreement with the corresponding statement: 10.1 On the whole, men make better political leaders than women, 10.2 If jobs are scarce, women have as much right to a job as men, 10.3 A university education is more important for a boy than for a girl. -3-

Social Values / Ethics in Europe today
Before examining citizens’ views on scientific and technological advance, we will first assess the values and ethical principles of European citizens. The themes we will address include citizen’s overall satisfaction with life, their religious and spiritual beliefs, their attitudes towards politics and the environment, gender equality and finally children’s upbringing. 1.1.
Satisfaction with life
A question which recurs throughout Eurobarometer surveys is how satisfied are citizens with their life. Respondents were asked to position themselves on a scale from 1 “not at all satisfied” to 10 “absolutely satisfied”. In order to facilitate our analysis, we created the following categories: 1-2 not at all satisfied, 3-5 not very satisfied, 6-8 fairly satisfied and 9-10 very satisfied. Source questionnaire: Q6 - More than four in five European citizens are satisfied with their life European citizens have a positive outlook on their life. The vast majority are satisfied with their life in general (82%). Although the general perception of life is positive in the European Union as a whole, there are strong differences between the surveyed countries. The Dutch are most positive with a staggering 97% indicating that they are satisfied with their life. Following next is two of the Nordic Member States, Denmark and Finland, with each revealing an overall satisfied score of 93%. The only exception is found in the candidate countries, as many as 57% of Bulgarians are dissatisfied with the life they lead (only 37% declare being content with their life).

From a socio-demographic point of view, the respondents most satisfied with their life tend to be still studying (92%) compared to the average result for the EU (82%). As indicated in the introduction we cross-analysed the results of the question on trust in others (q8). Those who indicated that they “almost always” or “often” trust others were classified in the category “tend to trust”. Those who “only sometimes” trust others make up their own category and those who “rarely or almost never” trust were classified in the group “tend not to trust”. As we might expect, those who tend to trust others stand out for the relatively higher proportion of respondents who are satisfied with their lives.

Religious and spiritual beliefs
Europeans share common religious and philosophical roots in the various forms of Christianity, although this does not automatically translate into a European religious identity. In fact, European society is rich in its religious and philosophical diversity. Here our analysis will examine how often European citizens reflect on the fundamental philosophical question - the meaning and purpose of life. We will also assess the extent to which religious and spiritual beliefs are present in European society. Since these questions could bear an influence on individuals’ social values and ethical principles, we cross-tabulated these results for each question in our survey. Source questionnaire: Q1 & Q2 - Highly diverse religious and spiritual beliefs across Europe When citizens were asked how frequently they think about the meaning and purpose of life, three in four confirmed that they do (35% “often” think about this and 39% “sometimes” do). Only 8% declare that they never have such philosophical reflections. In each country surveyed, at least three in five citizens confirm that they ponder on the meaning and purpose of life. In order to better distinguish between countries, our analysis focuses on those who “often” ask themselves such philosophical questions. Q1.

Cypriots emerge with, by far, the highest proportion confirming that they “often” think about the meaning and purpose of life (69%). Following next are their Greek neighbours at 56%. On the contrary, fewer Austrians (26%) and Hungarians (27%) declare that they often reflect on the meaning and purpose of life compared to citizens in all other European countries surveyed. From a socio-demographic point of view, we will assess the overall results for those who think about the meaning of life i.e. those who answered “often” or “sometimes”.

Females (78%) are more inclined than males (69%) to contemplate this question. The more highly educated respondents (those who pursued their studies until at least the age of 20) have a greater tendency to ask themselves this question (79%) compared to those who left school by the age of 15 (71%). As stated above, we cross-tabulated the results to the question on religious or spiritual beliefs. Here, each answer item forms a category in itself in our cross-tabulation. In this instance, the more religious or spiritual respondents i.e. those who believe in a God (78%) or in a spirit or life force (77%) are considerably more inclined to think about the meaning of life than those who declare that they do not have religious or spiritual beliefs (61%).

The graph above is representative of the diverse nature of Europe’s religious and spiritual composition. The average results mask considerable differences in the beliefs of the various nationalities. Roman Catholicism is the official religion of Malta and 95% of Maltese respondents confirm that they believe in a God. The majority of the population of Cyprus is Greek Cypriot and Christian Orthodox6 and the results show that nine in ten declare that they believe in a God. Four in five respondents in Greece (81%), Portugal (81%) and Poland (80%) declare that they believe in a God and are followed by Italy and Ireland where respectively 74% and 73% confirm their religious beliefs. These are all countries where the Church as an institution has, historically, always been present and strong.

Of the candidate countries, Turkey, where the vast majority of the population is Muslim, ranks highest with 95% declaring their belief in a God. In Romania, where the vast majority of the population is Eastern Orthodox, 90% state that they believe in a God. In contrast, in Estonia and the Czech Republic less than one in five declare that they believe in a God. In these countries, at least one in two believes there is some sort of spirit or life force: Estonia (54%) and the Czech Republic (50%). In Sweden also a majority share similar spiritual beliefs (53%).

who left school by the age of 15 can be distinguished for their tendency to believe in a God (65%). Those positioning themselves on the right of the political scale are more inclined to believe in a God (57%). In parallel to our observation above, those who meditate on the meaning and purpose of life (55%) have a greater inclination to declare that they believe in a God than those who do not have such philosophical reflections (44%). Later on in the survey, respondents were asked whether decisions on science and technology should be based primarily on an analysis of the risks and benefits or on the moral and ethical issues involved. As indicated in our introduction, this question was also systematically cross-tabulated with the results to all questions. In this regard, the tendency emerging here is that those who believe that such decisions should be based primarily on moral and ethical issues (55%) are more inclined to confirm that they believe in a God compared to those giving more importance to a risks-benefits analysis (47%) in science and technology decision-making. Respondents were also asked later on in the questionnaire about the strictness of their own upbringing: whether their parents were generally in charge and made the rules, classified as strict or whether their parents generally let everyone do what they wished, classified as not strict. Here too an interesting tendency emerges in that those who declare that their upbringing was strict (54%) are more likely to believe in a God than those brought up in a household without rules (39%). The results reveal some principal tendencies. The first being that there is seemingly a move away from religion in its traditional form - “I believe there is a God” - which seems to affect the Protestant countries, such as the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden, as well as countries with a strong secular tradition such as France and Belgium. At the same time there is an affirmation of traditional religious beliefs in countries where the Church or Religious Institutions have been historically strong, notably, Greece, Cyprus, Portugal and Ireland. In certain Eastern European countries, in spite of 40 or 50 years of communism, a strong attachment to religion emerges in Catholic countries such as Poland, Croatia and Slovakia. The third tendency is the development of a new kind of religion characterised by the belief that “there is some sort of spirit or life force”. This new religion or spirituality is more marked in certain Protestant countries, such as Sweden or Denmark as well as in the Czech Republic and Estonia.

The same three countries which ranked highest for their level of interest in following politics and current affairs once again emerge at the top for feelings of being well informed: Denmark (78%), the Netherlands and Sweden (both 76%). It would seem that in these three countries those who are interested in politics and current affairs keep abreast of current happenings.

With regard to the socio-demographic profile of those declaring that they feel well informed the same tendencies as those observed for interest in politics emerge suggesting that the two tend to go hand in hand. In order to asses the relationship between interest in politics and current affairs and the feeling of being well informed on such matters, we carried out a cross-analysis of the results of both questions.

At the EU level, those who confirm that they are interested in what is going on in politics and current affairs are more inclined to declare that they are well informed about what is going in politics and current affairs (76%) compared to the average EU citizen (58%). Conversely, those who are informed about what is going on in politics and current affairs are more inclined to declare that they are interested in such matters (88%) compared to the average EU citizen (67%). These results would tend to confirm our hypothesis regarding a positive relationship between interest in politics and current affairs and the feeling of being well informed.

than in any other Member State. 93% of their Nordic neighbours in Norway share the same view. Supposing citizens involve themselves more in politics and current affairs, what is the perception of the actual influence they have on Government action? Four in five EU citizens declare that they have too little influence. In each surveyed country, the vast majority feel that people like themselves have too little influence on what the Government does with close to nine in ten of this view in the Czech Republic (89%), Poland (89%) and Lithuania (88%). Turkish respondents are comparatively more pessimistic than their counterparts surveyed in the rest of Europe with 61% believing that they have too little influence on what the government does. In order to exert an influence on what the Government does citizens need to know how to get their voice heard. Only one in three EU citizens affirms that they know the channels through which they can voice their views. The only European countries where a majority are aware of how they can be heard on matters related to politics and public affairs are the Nordic Member States (Finland: 58%, Sweden: 54%, and Denmark: 52%) as well as the Netherlands (67%).
From a socio-demographic perspective, a greater sense of civic duty with regard to involvement in politics and current affairs is felt among those who pursued their studies until at least the age of 20 (82%) and/or managers (84%). The more philosophical and those who tend to trust others can also be distinguished for their perception that citizens should involve themselves in politics and current affairs.

Once again the results reveal significant differences within the European Union. On the one side we observe traditionally Catholic countries (Spain, Italy, Ireland, Poland and Slovakia), where citizens seem comparatively less interested in and well informed on politics or they have greater difficulty accessing political structures. While on the other hand, the study shows that in Northern Europe (Denmark, the Netherlands and Germany), marked by their Protestant culture are the more politicised societies. Citizens in these countries had been literate for a long time (individual’s access to the Bible required that people learn to read) and they became familiar with forms of local democracy through the management of religious assemblies.

As we have just seen, European citizens are very much convinced that we have a duty to protect nature. However, opinion on the right to exploit nature for the sake of human well-being is less clear-cut. The average level of agreement of 43% at the European Union level masks considerable differences at the national level. It would seem that in some countries while citizens recognise their duty to protect nature many believe that we nevertheless have a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being. For example in Slovakia, 85% acknowledge this duty yet 77% consider that we have a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being. A similar tendency is observed in Poland, 90% acknowledge our duty to protect nature and yet 70% believe that we have a right to exploit it for the sake of being happy and healthy. In contrast a different scenario is observed in Hungary where 91% consider that we have a duty to protect nature, yet only 10% believe that we have a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being. The Germans and Austrians tend to be of the same opinion with over nine in ten in both countries believing that we have a duty to protect nature and 12% in both believing that we have a right to exploit it for the sake of human well being.

The distinction between “human progress” and “human well being” is important here. “Human progress” connotes science, technology or innovation whereas “human well being” connotes the state of being happy and healthy. When it comes to the environment it would seem that individuals are more willing to exploit nature for the sake of human well being, whereas for matters which are “closer to home” so to speak they would rather limit its exploitation for “human progress” from which they may feel further removed.
Duty to protect nature even if this means limiting human progress
In order to assess the relationship between these two points of view, a scatter-plot is shown below. The X-axis represents the agreement rate with the statement “we have a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being”. The Y-axis represents the agreement rate with the statement “we have a duty to protect nature, even if this means limiting progress” (it should be noted that the y-axis does not begin at 0%). Q16.

Do we really have a choice on whether or not to exploit nature if humankind is to progress? For 51% of EU citizens its exploitation is inevitable for this reason.

In contrast, citizens in Germany and Austria are of the opposite opinion with respectively 70% and 73% conveying their disagreement.

At the socio-demographic level, there is across-the-board agreement that we have a duty to protect nature even if it means limiting human progress. Where opinion is less clear-cut the socio-demographic profile of respondents often bears an influence on results. Males (47%) are more likely than females (40%) to believe that we have a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being. A similar difference in opinion is observed between genders regarding the belief that exploiting nature may be inevitable if humankind is to progress: males (53%) and females (48%). Those positioning themselves on the right politically-speaking (50%) are more likely to declare that we have a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well-being compared to those more to the left or centre (respectively 40% and 41%).

Views on this matter vary from country to country. In Slovakia as many as 39% believe that a university education is more important for a boy than a girl. Relatively important agreement levels are also observed in Austria (32%), Hungary (31%) and Italy (30%). Looking at the candidate countries, even more citizens in Turkey, amounting to 46%, are of the opinion that a university education is more important for a boy than a girl. Gender equality in university education is supported by at least nine in ten citizens in Iceland (95%), Denmark (95%), Norway (93%), the Netherlands (93%) and Sweden (92%). Does the respondent’s gender bear an influence here? Relatively more males (19%) than females (15%) believe that a university education is more important for a boy than for a girl. As we might expect, the 55+ group (22%) have a greater tendency to agree that it is more important for a boy than for a girl to receive a university education. Also, those who left school by the age of 15 are more inclined to believe that a university education is more important for a boy than for a girl.

Moving on now to the labour market, how do European citizens feel about women in the work-place when jobs are scarce? 86% consider that if jobs are scarce, women have as much right to a job as men. In fact, in every Member State, at least three in five are in favour of gender equality when it comes to jobs even if these are scarce. Even in Slovakia where we saw earlier that 39% agree that university education is more important for a boy than for a girl, 60% nevertheless believe that if jobs are scarce, women should have equal rights here.

Safeguarding the principles of gender equality seem to be most widespread in the Nordic countries: in Sweden and Norway 85% disagree with the statement that on the whole men make better political leaders than women and in Denmark 83% disagree. There is a more marked difference in opinion between males (32%) and females (23%) on this issue with a greater tendency among the male population to believe that on the whole their gender equivalents make better political leaders than women. Women in more right-wing parties may stand less of a chance of being elected compared to their counterparts in left-wing parties as right-wing followers (34%) have a greater tendency to favour men as political leaders compared to those on the left (24%). Those believing in God (31%) are also more inclined to esteem that men make better political leaders than women compared to those who rather believe in a spirit or life force or without religious beliefs (23% for both).

In Malta (90%) and Slovakia (88%) more respondents declared that, in the home where they grew up, all children were given more or less the same treatment compared to other countries surveyed. The high results in Slovakia may come as somewhat of a surprise given our earlier observations in relation to gender equality. Slovakia is the country where the highest proportion of citizens believes that university education is more important for a boy than for a girl (39%) and it is also the country with the highest proportion believing that men make better political leaders than women (54%). The results here would tend to suggest that views on gender equality are not rooted in respondents’ upbringing. In Denmark (23%) and Austria (20%) most respondents declare that some children tended to have more privileges, being cited by at least one in five. Due to the overall high results for the item “all children were treated more or less equally”, the socio-demographic categories do not seem to bear a strong influence on results. The only point worth noting here is related to one of the questions systematically cross-tabulated with all results, the question on the strictness of respondent’s upbringing. It would seem that those who had a strict upbringing (82%) are more inclined to agree that all children were treated more or less equally compared to those brought up in an environment where everyone could do what they wished (75%).

Respondents were then asked to indicate the extent to which they believed that each of a series of qualities was important. There is such a widespread consensus among EU citizens regarding the overall importance of these values that our analysis focuses on the results for those declaring that it is “very important”. We should bear in mind that respondents are generally reluctant to position themselves on the extreme end of an answer scale. However, in this case, it would seem that EU citizens attach a particularly high level of importance to the qualities covered. In seven of the eight qualities, a majority of EU citizens declares that it is “very important” that they are taught to children at home. Q5.

At the EU level, “tolerance and respect for other people” and “sense of responsibility” rank highest as the two most important qualities that children should learn at home with at least four in five declaring that these are “very important”. The only value which less than one in two sees as being “very important” is “hard work”.

In all countries, either “tolerance and respect for other people” or “sense of responsibility” rank highest. In all countries surveyed the vast majority of respondents consider that these are “very important”. Turkey stands out for the high proportion of respondents who consider that many of these values are “very important”: “determination, perseverance” (89%), “thrift, economising and avoiding waste” (87%) and “hard work” (92%). Compared to other countries surveyed, the Maltese seem to attach a considerable level of importance to “obedience” with 85% confirming that they consider that it is “very important” that children learn this value. For Icelandic citizens, “independence” is considered to be a “very important” value by 85% of citizens. The Swedes (74%), more than any other nationality, esteem that encouraging children to develop their “imagination” is very important. - 35 -

Looking at the socio-demographic profile of respondents, it seems that for “obedience”, “hard work” and “thrift, economising and avoiding waste”, the 55+ group and/or those who left school by the age of 15 are generally more inclined to declare that teaching such values to children in the home is “very important”. Those who had a strict upbringing are more inclined to consider that “obedience”, “sense of responsibility” and “thrift, economising and avoiding waste” are “very important” qualities which children should learn in the home. The more highly educated respondents have a greater tendency to value the encouragement of children’s imagination. It would therefore seem that, in the Europe of 25, there is a general tendency to encourage children to be sociable. The results show that the values or qualities of hard work, thrift and obedience result in lower scores compared to the more people values. Finally, significant scores are observed for individualistic values such as independence, imagination and determination. We could therefore conclude that there is a greater tendency for post-materialism to mark family values at the start of the 21st century.

Within the EU, the Greeks and Hungarians are most convinced that science and technology decisions should be mainly based on a risks-benefits analysis, with respective results of 70% and 67%. Looking at the candidate countries, an equally high proportion of Romanians share this perspective (68%). Citizens in the EFTA countries appear to share a common point-of-view with at least three in five in all three giving most importance to the moral and ethical issues involved: Iceland (64%), Norway (62%) and Switzerland (60%). In fact in these countries more citizens declare that decisions about science and technology should be based primarily on the moral and ethical issues involved compared to all other countries surveyed. The only other European country where at least a relative majority believes that decisions about science and technology should be based primarily on the moral and ethical issues is Finland (50%).

The countries where most citizens are of this perspective are Finland (83%), Cyprus (82%) and the Czech Republic (80%).

The more highly educated tend to be of the same view (75%) compared to those who left school at an earlier age. Q12 And which of the two following views is closest to your own?

Those who tend to trust others stand out in their category for the relatively higher proportion which favours the advice of experts about the risks and benefits involved over the views of the general public. There is a marked difference in the results between those who previously declared that science and technology decision-making should be primarily based on a risks-benefits analysis and those who would rather prioritise the moral and ethical issues in these decisions. The former group has a greater tendency to favour the advice of experts in this analysis. Finally, respondents who believe in gender equality i.e. those who agree that women have as much right to a job as men and/or those who disagree that a university education is more important for a boy than for a girl, have a greater inclination to favour the advice of experts over that of the general public. - 41 -

Before closing this section, we will first look at the relationship between a risks and benefits analysis and consultation with experts in science and technology decisionmaking. In the scatter-plot below the X-axis represents the response rate for those favouring a risks and benefits analysis over moral and ethical issues. The Y-axis represents the results for those favouring the advice of experts over the general publics’ views of the risks and benefits.

At the European level, four in five citizens believe that environmental groups campaigning on issues related to science and technology have a positive effect on society. The Cypriots (93%) and Slovenians (90%) are most convinced of this while within the EU such positive support is lowest in the Netherlands (66%) and Hungary (68%). Turning now to perceptions on animal rights groups campaigning about the treatment of animals, 77% of EU citizens believe that they have a positive effect on society. Here, Malta ranks highest with 92% declaring their impact to be positive compared to Britain, the lowest ranking Member State, at 58%. The only country surveyed where a minority view the impact as positive is Bulgaria, although this is still the point of view of a comfortable relative majority of 49%. Before moving on to our next group, it is worth pointing out that the tendency with regard to the category “reflection on the meaning of life” once again emerges here: in all three instances, those who tend to reflect on the meaning of life are more inclined to view the impact of these interest groups as positive.

What is the perception of Europeans of the effect on society of scientists in industry doing research? At the EU level, 85% declare that scientists in industry doing research have a positive effect on society. In most countries, a slightly higher proportion of citizens believe that scientists in university have a positive effect on society compared to scientists in industry doing research. We could therefore say that there is a more positive vision of academic research than that in production. At the European Union level, 81% declare that industry developing new products has a positive effect on society. Ranking highest for their positive views here are Sweden and Denmark (both 90%). As was the case for their views on scientists in university or in industry doing research, Turkey ranks among the lowest, in this case with a result of 69%. From a socio-demographic perspective, males (84%) are more inclined to recognise the positive effect on society of industry developing new products compared to females (79%).

Three in four consider that the effect of their work in this domain is positive. The most widespread conviction of the Commission’s work in the area of regulation is in Cyprus (90%) and Greece (86%). In each Member State, a majority declares that the effect of the European Commission’s regulations on science and technology for all Member States is positive. The lowest level of results for “positive effect” occurs in Sweden (54%). Now turning to countries outside the borders of the European Union, the results show that the perceptions of the Commission’s work in this domain are positive. The level of support in Romania (77%) and Croatia (73%) is close to the EU average. Public opinion in Norway is also notably positive with 71% believing the effect of the Commission’s regulations on science and technology to be positive for Member States. Citizens were also asked for their opinion on public authorities in general with regard to regulating on science and technology and more specifically in relation to assessing the risks that may come from new technologies. At the European Union level, the level of positive perceptions is almost identical for public authorities in general (73%) as that observed for the European Commission. As was the case for their positive views regarding the Commission’s regulatory role in science and technology, the Cypriots (83%) and the Greeks (82%) rank highest, although this time along with the Finns (82%). The Bulgarians (50%) are least confident of the positive effect of public authorities regulating on science and technology with one in two declaring that the effect on society is positive. Focusing more specifically on public authorities assessing the risks that may come from new technologies, once again the Cypriots (88%), the Greeks (88%), the Finns (83%) and this time the Italians (83%) are at the top end of the scale for the high proportions perceiving their role here as positive.

What does the future hold in terms of quality of life? According to 58% of EU citizens the next generation will enjoy a better quality of life than we do now. This result is encouraging however positive perceptions of an improvement in quality of life are even more widespread when comparing this for our generation with that of our parents: 85% of EU citizens consider that for most people today, their quality of life is better than it was for their parents’ generation. Regarding the impact of science and technology on the quality of life, 77% of EU citizens are confident that science and technology will improve the quality of life of future generations. Once again, comparing this perception with the impact of developments in science and technology on the quality of life of our generation, 87% declare that such developments have improved the quality of life for our generation. Taking a closer look at the results for perceptions of the quality of life for future generations, the average result of 58% at the EU level masks considerable differences between Member States.

The Baltic countries are most optimistic with close to or over four in five declaring that the next generation will enjoy a better quality of life than we do now. Following next are three more of the new Member States. It would seem that perhaps the emergence of these countries from a communist regime to their recent status as Member States of the European Union, has led to a positive outlook in terms of quality of life for future generations. However, the exception to this is Slovenia where a majority (51%) disagrees that the next generation will enjoy a better quality of life than we do now. Other countries where respondents appear more pessimistic for the prospects of the next generation, with a majority disagreeing, are France (58%), Netherlands (54%), Luxembourg (53%), Sweden (53%), as well as Denmark and Belgium (both 51%). In each of the candidate countries, a majority declares that the next generation will enjoy a better quality of life than we do now. The prevailing pessimism in Switzerland is noteworthy with 63% of the opinion that the quality of life of the next generation will not improve. What role does science and technology play in improving the quality of life of future generations?

At the European Union level, 77% of EU citizens believe that science and technology will improve the quality of life of future generations. While above we observed a considerable diversity in opinion across Member States, it would seem that there is more of a consensus in public opinion regarding the impact of science and technology on the quality of life of future generations. In each country surveyed, a majority agrees that science and technology will improve the quality of life of future generations. Ranking at the upper end of the scale are six of the new Member States with the highest levels of agreement in Estonia (92%), Poland (91%) and Lithuania (90%) while the lowest result on this scale occurs in Austria (62%). Of the EFTA countries, Iceland stands out with close to nine in ten respondents (89%) agreeing that science and technology will improve the quality of life of future generations. In the candidate countries, close to or over four in five are optimistic with regard to the impact of science and technology on improving the quality of life of future generations. From a socio-demographic perspective, the respondent’s profile seems to bear an influence on the results for agreement that the next generation will enjoy a better quality of life than we do now. More specifically, it would seem that males, the 15-24 age group and/or those who are still studying tend to be most optimistic that the next generation will enjoy a better quality of life than we do now. Also, those who believe in a God have a greater tendency to be optimistic about the quality of life of the next generation.

In fact, 46% of respondents consider that this will be “very important” for our society. It is worth noting the high proportion of respondents in many countries which believes that giving people greater autonomy at work and where they live will be “very important”, notably, the Greeks (70%), the Swedes (64%), the Maltese (64%), the Slovenians (63%) and respondents from Luxembourg (62%). In the candidate countries, Turkey (74%) and Croatia (69%) can be distinguished for the relatively high proportions believing that this will be “very important” for our society.

Report
As was the case for opinions on giving people more autonomy, the vast majority in all countries surveyed believes that citizen participation in Government decision-making will be important for society. At the Member State level, in Poland, Greece, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Czech Republic and Malta a majority believes that this will be “very important” for our society. In this context, we should recall that four of these countries (Poland, Ireland, the UK and the Czech Republic) are planning to organise a referendum on the Constitutional Treaty. Evidence of participative democracy, through the use of an instrument such as a referendum, is a clear sign for citizens that they are being given a say in Government decisions. Respondents in Turkey (68%) and Croatia (63%) are particularly optimistic about the prospects for participative democracy with over three in five believing that giving people more say in important Government decisions will be “very important” for our society in ten years time.

3.2.2 Protection of privacy and freedom of information Source questionnaire: Q15a item 3 and Q15b item 1 - Over two in three citizens believe that protecting our personal privacy while protecting the freedom of speech and information will be very important for our society in ten years time Article 8 of the Charter of European Fundamental Rights provides that “Everyone has the right to the protection of personal data concerning him or her. Such data must be processed fairly for specified purposes and on the basis of the consent of the person concerned of some other legitimate basis laid down by law. Everyone has the right of access to data which has been collected concerning him or her, and the right to have it rectified”. With the fast pace of technological developments, the challenge of protecting information about the private life of individuals has become increasingly difficult. For example, purchasing goods over the Internet often requires that a considerable amount of personal information is disclosed by the buyer. The potential value of this information from a marketing perspective presents a challenge to society to avoid its misuse and exploitation. Q15a.3 For each of the following, how important do you think it will be for our society in ten years time? Protecting information about our private life from misuse and exploitation

94% of EU citizens believe that protecting information about our private life from misuse and exploitation will be important for our society in ten years time. In fact, two in three believe this will be “very important”. In all countries surveyed, a majority believes that protecting information about our private life from misuse and exploitation is “very important”. The highest results here are observed in the Czech Republic (81%), Greece (78%) and the United Kingdom (77%). More than four in five Icelandic respondents (83%) and Norwegians (81%) are of this opinion. Turning now to protecting freedom of speech and information, Article 11 of the Charter of European Fundamental Rights states that “Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. The freedom and pluralism of the media shall be respected”. Some countries have introduced Freedom of Information Acts granting citizens legal rights to access information held by public bodies.

Report
Science and technology may not be the first thing that comes to mind when we think of developing countries, yet for 72% of the Irish and 70% of Dutch respondents it will be very important for our society to ensure that these poorer countries share in its benefits. An equally high result for “very important” is apparent in Iceland (74%) and Norway (72%). Countries and regions need assistance in overcoming structural deficiencies and in developing their comparative advantages in order to be able to compete both in the internal market and outside. EU cohesion policy was strengthened some 15 years ago at the time the single market project was initiated precisely to meet these parallel needs. Such assistance is even more important now in the face of the widening of disparities which enlargement entails10. One in two EU citizens is of the opinion that reducing economic inequalities among people living in the EU will be very important for society in the future. Greece (73%), one of the Cohesion countries, stands out for the proportion of its citizens believing that reducing inequalities among people living in the European Union will be very important for our society in ten years time. The candidate countries also believe in its future prioritisation with at least three in five of the opinion that the reduction of economic disparities among EU citizens will be very important for our society in ten years time. 37% of EU citizens consider that integrating minorities and other cultures into our society will be very important. Turkey (63%) and Spain (55%) are the only countries where a majority is of the opinion that integrating minorities and other cultures into our society will be very important in ten years time. The result in Ireland, a country where the tides of migration have recently turned with the growth of the economy, is also notably high, where 48% foresee that integrating minorities and other cultures into our society will be very important.

3.2.5 Protection of the unborn Source questionnaire: Q15a item 2 - Range of perceptions across European countries with regard to protecting the dignity of any human unborn life According to 53% of EU citizens protecting the dignity of any human unborn life will be very important for our society in ten years time. The results in Malta, Greece and Ireland stand out with over seven in ten respondents foreseeing that this will be very important. Within the European Union, Malta is the only Member State where abortion is illegal in all circumstances. In Ireland, abortion is permitted to save the woman’s life. In Greece, abortion is permitted on request provided it is within the authorized period11. In this context, it is also worth recalling our earlier observations whereby Malta, Greece and Ireland ranked at the upper end of the scale for the proportion of citizens believing that there is a God.

From a socio-demographic perspective females (55%) are more inclined to consider that protecting the dignity of any human unborn life is very important. Those who declare that they reflect on the meaning of life (55%) and those who believe in a God have a greater tendency to be of this opinion. Citizens who say that they have had a strict upbringing are more inclined to predict that protecting the dignity of any human unborn life will be very important for our society in ten years time. Finally, those who believe that decisions on science and technology should be based on moral and ethical issues are more inclined to believe that this issue will be very important for society in the future.

Impact of new technologies
New technologies are currently being developed in a number of areas. Respondents were asked for their opinion on the effect of these on our way of life in the next 20 years. Source questionnaire: Q13 - European citizens are on the whole open to the advances of new technologies and are confident of their positive effect on our way of life in the next 20 years On the whole it would seem that European citizens are receptive to the advances of new technologies. In all of the areas covered in this question (with the exception of nanotechnology where the no-response rate was high in all countries), a majority of respondents at the EU level declared their belief that the development of new technologies will have a positive effect on society in the next 20 years. We will first briefly looking at some of the results where particularly high levels of optimism are observed. 94% of EU citizens believe that medicines and new medical technologies will have a positive effect on our way of life in the next 20 years (the table shows the results for those who responded “very positive” or “fairly positive”). In almost all countries surveyed at least nine in ten are of this opinion. It would therefore seem that citizens are confident that such developments can only improve the well being of humankind. Once again we see an overall consensus among European citizens with regard to the effect of green energy sources or energy saving measures. At the European Union level, 91% believe that solar energy will have a positive effect on society and 92% declare that energy saving measures in the home will impact society in a positive way. Still on the environment, citizens appear confident of the advantages of new energy sources to power cars, with 90% declaring that this will have a positive effect on our way of life. Regarding computers and information technology as well as the Internet, 87% of EU citizens consider that the former and 78% believe that the latter will have a positive effect on society in 20 years time. Below we will examine in more detail some of the potentially more controversial areas including biotechnology and genetic engineering, high-tech agriculture as well as nuclear energy for electricity production.

Biotechnology and genetic engineering In just a few decades, our understanding of the ways in which living things function has progressed greatly. This progress has stimulated, and in turn has been stimulated and made possible by, the development of new technologies allowing us to use and modify living systems and organisms with ever increasing precision, as well as to control them more effectively. The media have responded rapidly to the scientific revolution that biotechnology represents with some praising its innovations and others denouncing the risks it poses12. Before looking to Europeans views on the prospects of biotechnology and genetic engineering, the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines biotechnology as “the biological science when applied especially in genetic engineering and recombinant DNA technology” and genetic engineering as “the directed alteration of genetic material by intervention in genetic processes.” At the EU level 65% of citizens believe that biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a positive effect on our way of life in the next 20 years. In all countries surveyed with the exception of Austria, a majority is of the opinion that new technologies in biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a positive effect on our society. Two of the EFTA countries surveyed (Iceland: 86% and Norway: 81%) stand out with at least four in five of the opinion that such developments will have a positive effect on our society. Within the EU, the highest ranking countries for their positive perceptions are: Hungary 74%, Spain and Denmark (both 72%), the Czech Republic and Estonia (both 71%), followed by Sweden and Italy (both 70%). The countries where least respondents believe that the effect of the development of such technologies will be advantageous for our way of life in the coming 20 years are: Austria (43%), Greece (53%) and Latvia (54%). Q13.3 For each of these, do you think it will have a positive, a negative or no effect on our way of life in the next 20 years? Biotechnology and genetic engineering Response: Positive effect EU25

The socio-demographic breakdown of results reveals some interesting differences. Males (69%) are more likely than females (62%) to convey their belief that advances in biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a positive effect on our way of life in 20 years time. Students and those who pursued their studies until at least the age of 20 are more likely to stand out for their greater inclination to declare their positive perceptions. Those who claim that they reflect on the meaning of life and/or those who tend to trust others are more likely to confirm their belief that advances in this area will have a positive effect on society. Also, respondents who declare that decisions about science and technology should be primarily based on a risks and benefits analysis (72%) have a greater tendency to believe that the effect of biotechnology and genetic engineering will be positive for society compared to those who believe such decisions should be primarily based on the moral and ethical issues (63%). Finally, those who believe that women have as much right to a job as men even if jobs are scarce are more inclined to consider that biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a positive effect on society in the next 20 years (66%) compared to those who disagree (61%). Citizens’ perceptions of the environment, in particular our duty to protect nature or our right to exploit it, could well have an impact on opinions on biotechnology and genetic engineering. The table below shows the cross-tabulation of results for the biotechnology and genetic engineering variable and opinions on our right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being (q16.1). At the EU level, those who believe that we have a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being are more inclined to be of the opinion that biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a positive effect on our way of life in the next 20 years (70%) compared to those of the opposite opinion (63%). It is also worth noting that one in four of the latter group believe that biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a negative effect on our way of life in the next 20 years.

High-tech agriculture Governments and the European Commission have begun to address the question of the applications of biotechnology, in particular in the areas of agriculture, food, pharmaceuticals and health care. Respondents were asked for their views on high-tech agriculture in particular. High-tech agriculture would not of course be limited to biotechnology - this is referring to advanced technologies in the broad sense of the term. At the EU level, a similar result to that observed for biotechnology and genetic engineering emerges here: 66% of EU citizens believe that this will have a positive effect on our way of life in the next 20 years. Once again, in all countries surveyed, this time however with the exception of France, a majority declare that the effects of new technologies in this domain will be positive on our way of life in the coming 20 years. It is interesting to note that ranking at the upper end of the scale are many of the new Member States: Slovakia (84%), Lithuania and Hungary (both 81%) as well as Cyprus, the Czech Republic and Poland (80% in all three). Public opinion in France is notably different compared to that in other European countries: only 36% believe that advances in high-tech agriculture will have a positive effect on society in 20 years time. It is important to bear in mind that the meaning of “high-tech agriculture” is based on respondents own perceptions. For example for some this could be associated with biotechnology whereas for others it may be the replacement of manual labour with machinery. From a socio-demographic perspective, a similar tendency to that revealed above arises with regard to gender: males (70%) are more likely than females (63%) to believe in the positive effect of high-tech agriculture and decisions about science and technology: those who believe that such decisions should be primarily based on a risks-benefits analysis (72%) compared to those favouring accounting for the moral and ethical issues (65%). Finally, respondents who do not uphold gender equality when it comes to political leadership (agree that on the whole men make better political leaders than women) and university education (agree that a university education is more important for a boy than for a girl) are more inclined to believe that high-tech agriculture will have a positive effect on our way of life in the next 20 years compared to those in favour of gender equality.

Nuclear energy for electricity production Focusing now on perceptions of the effect of nuclear energy for electricity production, the results show that 52% of EU citizens consider that nuclear energy for electricity production will have a positive effect on society. The detail by country reflects the range of opinions across Europe on this subject. Respondents in the three of the candidate countries are most convinced of its positive effect for society in 20 years time: Romania (73%), Bulgaria (70%) and Turkey (68%). Public opinion in the three EFTA countries is the polar opposite of this with less than one three declaring that the effect of nuclear energy for electricity production will be positive for our society: Norway (33%), Switzerland (32%) and Iceland (20%). Opinion in individual Member States is situated between both extremes. Q13.6 For each of these, do you think it will have a positive, a negative or no effect on our way of life in the next 20 years?

As we observed for a similar cross-tabulation for the variable biotechnology and genetic engineering, at the EU level, those who believe that we have a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being are more inclined to be of the opinion that nuclear energy for electricity production will have a positive effect on our way of life in the next 20 years (61%) compared to those who believe the contrary (47%). In fact, 41% of those who disagree that we have a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being believe that nuclear energy for electricity production will have a negative effect on our way of life in the next 20 years compared to 28% who agree that we have such a right.

Dolly the sheep, born in 1996, may have been the world's most famous clone, but she was not the first. Cloning creates a genetically identical copy of an animal or plant. Many animals, including frogs, mice, sheep, and cows, had been cloned before Dolly. So Dolly was not the first clone, and she looked like any other sheep, but the reason she caused so much excitement and concern was that she was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell, rather than an embryo. This was a major scientific achievement, but also raised ethical concerns14. European citizens were asked for their views on cloning animals when this is for research into human diseases. At the EU level public opinion on this issue is split across the answer options: 31% condemn this practice, 22% could accept it in exceptional circumstances and 35% only if it is highly regulated and controlled. Could this suggest a certain level willingness among EU citizens regarding the approval of cloning animals for the sake of human health? However, in this context we should bear in mind our earlier observation where we saw that in each country surveyed a majority of respondents believe that we have a duty to protect the rights of animals whatever the cost. More citizens in Switzerland (50%), Luxembourg (49%) and the United Kingdom (44%) would condemn this practice compared to any other country surveyed. On the other hand, Spain (47%), Belgium (46%), Hungary (44%) and Estonia (43%) stand out for the relatively higher proportions declaring that they would approve of cloning animals for the sake of medical research for humans if this was highly regulated and controlled.

It would seem that at the EU level while Europeans are strong in their stance against cloning human beings, they are more receptive to the possibility of cloning human stem cells from embryos to make cells and organs that can be transplanted into people with diseases. 41% of EU citizens would approve of this if it is highly regulated and controlled. A majority of citizens in Sweden and Iceland would approve of cloning human cells from embryos to make cells and organs that can be transplanted into people with diseases only if it is highly regulated and controlled, with respective results of 55% and 52%. It is worth recalling our previous results where we saw that 64% of Icelandic respondents believe that science and technology decisions should be primarily based on moral and ethical issues. More respondents in Greece, Switzerland, Slovenia and Cyprus stand would condemn cloning human cells from embryos more than any other country surveyed. It is worth recalling that Greece stood out earlier with 74% declaring that protecting the dignity of any human unborn life will be very important for our society in 10 years time.

Males on the other have a greater tendency to accept this only if it is highly regulated and controlled (39%) compared to their female counterparts (31%). Those who left school by the age of 15 are more inclined to never approve of animal cloning for this reason compared to students and those who pursued their studies to a later age whereas these latter groups have a greater tendency to approve of its use only if it is highly regulated and controlled.

Citizens’ views on nature would seem to be a factor which could influence perceptions of the use of cloning. The cross-tabulation of results for the “cloning animals such as monkeys or pigs for research into human diseases” and opinions on our “right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being” (q16.1) reveal some differences here. At the EU level, those who believe that we have a right to exploit nature have a somewhat greater tendency to approve of this kind of cloning in all circumstances (12%) compared to those who disagree (5%) whereas those who disagree that we have this right are more inclined to never approve of this kind of cloning (36%) in comparison to those who agree (25%).

3.4.2 Use of genetics Source questionnaire: Q17a items 4, 5 and 9, q17b items 2, 4, 5 and 9 - The creation of data banks in order to study the genetic causes of human diseases would be accepted by 41% of EU citizens provided it would be highly regulated and controlled A number of applications of science and technology in the area of genetics were put to respondents who once again indicated to what extent they approve of their use over the next 20 years. We will look at the responses for those who answered that they would “never” approve of their use and those who would approve of their use “only if it is highly regulated and controlled”. 54% of EU citizens are against developing a genetic test for children that would identify their talents and weaknesses and 19% would only approve of this if it is highly regulated and controlled. This is the only use of genetics for which a majority declares their opposition. 42% would never approve of developing a genetic test that would prolong our expected life span by 25 years. Turning now to health-related issues, a matter which we have seen citizens feel closely attached to, the results show that one in three EU citizens would never approve of developing a genetic test that would tell us about diseases we might get even if we cannot do anything about them. However, 27% of respondents in the EU would approve of this if it is highly regulated and controlled. We saw earlier that the vast majority of EU citizens expressed their opposition to cloning human beings when natural reproduction is not possible due to a genetic disease. Here we see that 31% of EU citizens would never approve of genetic testing to produce a child that could act as a bone-marrow donor for a brother or sister who has a life threatening disease. Human genetic data, gathered through biological samples (blood, tissue, saliva, sperm, etc.) play an increasingly important role in our lives. They are already providing answers to questions asked by judges and police: proof of paternity, identity of a sex criminal or an accident victim. In varying degrees, they also answer medical questions: genetic tests can already predict certain diseases and other, less conclusive tests, indicating a predisposition, provide invaluable information for prevention. Research based on human genetic data is extremely promising: we can expect more tests of increasing reliability as well as new approaches for understanding and treating innumerable diseases. As a result, human genetic data banks are multiplying. Given that today even the smallest hospitals possess, if not processed genetic data, at least a collection of DNA samples ready for processing, it is difficult to know how many banks exist. The largest, of them have already gone beyond the mark of one million data. The trend is irreversible and entire countries, Iceland and Estonia soon, followed by Latvia, have decided to undertake a genetic census of their entire population. Yet, like many other aspects of the ongoing genetic revolution, they pose as many problems as they resolve.15 What are the perceptions of Europeans with regarding to such genetic data? 41% approve of the storing of genetic data of our population in data banks in order to study the genetic causes of human diseases. The proportion which would never approve of this is considerably lower when compared to observations made above with regard to 15

Special EUROBAROMETER 225 “Social values, Science & Technology”
Report
From a socio-demographic perspective, it would seem that the key factors influencing results when it comes to uses of genetic data are gender as well as views on the primary basis for decisions about science and technology. First on gender, females are generally more inclined to convey their total opposition to the various uses of genetics covered in this question compared to males. Males on the other hand have a greater tendency to approve of these uses if they are subject to high regulation and control. Respondents who declare that they would rather if decisions about science and technology were primarily based upon moral and ethical issues tend to be more likely to convey their total opposition to these uses of genetics. Yet, those who would rather if science and technology decisions were based primarily on a risks-benefits analysis have a greater inclination to convey their approval if high regulation and control is imposed. In the previous section on the impact of new technologies, we saw that 65% of EU citizens declared that biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a positive effect on our way of life in the next 20 years. We cross-tabulated the results to this question with the various uses of genetics analysed above. As we might expect, in each instance, those who believe that biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a negative impact on our way of life in the next 20 years systematically stood out for their greater inclination to respond that that they would never approve of genetics being used for the purposes identified in this question. Conversely, those who believe that the effect of biotechnology and genetic engineering will be positive for our way of life in the coming 20 years have a greater inclination to approve of the application of genetics in the identified situations if it is highly regulated and controlled. From this we could assume that an overall positive perception of biotechnology and genetic engineering implies acceptance of its application while an overall negative impression of biotechnology and genetic engineering tends to lead to a rejection of its application regardless the use.

3.4.3 Genetically modified organisms Source questionnaire: Q17a items 7 and 8, q17b item 7 - Large diversity in public opinion at the national level on the use of genetically modified organisms for meat products or crops The World Health Organisation defines genetically modified organisms (GMOs) as organisms in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally. The technology is often called “modern biotechnology” or “gene technology”, sometimes also “recombinant DNA technology” or “genetic engineering”. It allows selected individual genes to be transferred from one organism into another, also between non-related species.16 What are European citizens’ views on GMOs? When asked specifically to what extent they would approve of growing meat from cell cultures so that we do not have to slaughter farm animals, more than one in two conveys their opposition. Q17a.7 …please tell me to what extent, if at all, you approve of its use. Growing meat from cell cultures so that we do not have to slaughter farm animals Never

The range of opposition varies across countries with as many as 88% responding “never” in Cyprus to 23% of this opinion in Bulgaria. Although in nineteen of the Member States, at least one in two declares that they would never approve of this practice. Opposition is also strong in the three EFTA countries surveyed as well as in Romania and Croatia. Citizens were asked whether they would approve of developing genetically modified crops in order to increase the variety of regionally grown food. 37% declare that they would never approve of this while 31% would approve of this provided it was highly regulated and controlled. The national results show that respondents are less condemning of GMOs for this purpose. In six of the countries surveyed a majority respond “never”: Croatia (60%), Switzerland (58%), Cyprus (56%), Greece (54%), Slovenia (53%) and France (52%).

Looking now at the environment, a comparatively low proportion of EU citizens (19%) declare that they would “never” approve of developing genetically modified bacteria that could clean up the environment after environmental catastrophes. An equal proportion, 20%, respond that they would approve of this “only in all circumstances” while 37% say that they would approve of this “only if it is highly regulated and controlled”. Malta stands out for the considerably high proportion (47%) saying that they would approve of developing genetically modified bacteria to clean up after environmental catastrophes.

From a socio-demographic perspective females (57%) are more likely than males (52%) to voice their disapproval of growing meat from cell culture so that we do not have to slaughter farm animals. This same tendency is observed with regard to the development of genetically modified crops. Students have a greater tendency to express their approval of both of these practices only if it is highly regulated and controlled. Also, in both instances, those who express their preference for science and technology decision-making being based primarily on the moral and ethical issues involved are more inclined to respond “never” compared to those who favour a risks-benefits analysis. Those from rural areas or villages have a greater inclination to express their disapproval of growing meat from cell cultures so that we do not have to slaughter farm animals.

The cross-tabulation of the results to this question with the responses to those on humanity’s relationship to nature reveals certain differences in opinion. A majority of those who agree that we have a duty to protect nature even if this means limiting human progress never approve of growing meat from cell cultures so that we do not have to slaughter farm animals (55%) compared to those who disagree with the statement on our duty to protect nature (47%). The latter group are more inclined to cite “only in exceptional circumstances” (19%) compared to those feeling a sense of duty regarding environmental protection (12%).

This latter group (38%) have a greater tendency to cite “never” compared to those who, on the contrary disagree (29%).

Special EUROBAROMETER 225 “Social values, Science & Technology”
Report
CONCLUSION Science and Technology is a fast moving field. Its development and new discoveries push individuals to face more and more challenges often concerning the conflict between the benefits implied and societies’ values and cultural heritage. Looking at the results of the survey we have firstly seen that in Europe religion and spirituality are still important: four in five EU citizens have religious or spiritual beliefs and only 18% declare that they don’t believe that there is any sort of spirit, God or life force. Nevertheless this spirituality is heterogeneous and is felt with different intensity across Europe: there is seemingly a move away from religion in its traditional form - “I believe there is a God” - which seems to affect the Protestant countries as well as countries with a strong secular tradition. At the same time, there is an affirmation of traditional religious beliefs in countries where the Church or Religious Institutions have been historically strong, as well as in some Eastern European countries. The third tendency is the development of a new kind of religion characterised by the belief that “there is some sort of spirit or life force”. This new religion or spirituality is more marked in certain Protestant countries, such as Sweden or Denmark as well as in the Czech Republic and Estonia. From the point of view of the public sphere, there is a strong sense of civic duty felt among European citizens with regard to involvement in politics (75% believe that people should involve themselves in politics and current affairs) but a certain sense of defeatism is observed with four in five declaring that they have too little influence in the Government’s actions. This issue is compounded by the fact that only one in three know how to get their voice heard in the political arena. When it comes to university education and right to jobs in a difficult economic climate, Europeans are strong in their stance on gender equality. However, in the Czech Republic and Slovakia at least one in two believes that men make better political leaders than women What values do Europeans want to pass on to their children? In the Europe of 25, there is a general tendency to encourage children to be sociable: tolerance and respect for others as well as a sense of responsibility are the values EU citizens attach most importance to. Respect for the environment has become an increasingly important social value in this post-materialism time. Nevertheless, the results show conflicting views on citizens’ sense of duty to protect nature in spite of limiting human progress (89% at the EU level) and the right to exploit it for the sake of human well-being (43% at the EU level). A first view on the interaction between ethics and science shows a European society which appears to give priority to objectivity as far as science and technology decisionmaking process is concerned: a majority favours a risks-benefits analysis (53%) over the moral and ethical issues (33%). Such a view is also closely linked in the public sphere with a strong perception of the authority of scientists and experts: when asked with whom science and technology decision-makers should consult, two in three favour the advice of experts about the risks and benefits involved over the general public’s views (23%).

Special EUROBAROMETER 225 “Social values, Science & Technology”
Report
In effect, there is an overwhelming recognition of what science and technology have done for society until now, as well as a positive consensus when it comes to visualizing their effects on the future quality of life. This is the case even for the more controversial areas of research such as biotechnology, genetic engineering and hightech agriculture, which a majority of citizens believes will have a positive effect on our way of life. Yet, when directly confronted with specific technological and scientific applications, Europeans still prove to be highly influenced by moral considerations, proving that science is not completely value-free: while EU citizens seem somewhat prepared to accept cloning animals (35%: only if it is highly regulated and controlled and 22% only in exceptional circumstances) and cloning human stem cells from embryos (41%: only if it is highly regulated and controlled and 20% only in exceptional circumstances) for the sake of human health, the majority clearly draws the limit when it comes to cloning human beings (59% respond “never”). These results show that in cases of potential conflict between a scientific application and the individuals’ ethic system, public authorities’ regulation and control are essential. From this perspective, the European Commission could play an extremely important role as three in four citizens believe that its work in regulating on science and technology for all EU countries has a positive effect on society. Europeans’ strong attachment to social values and ethics shows up clearly in the results. Citizens predict that consideration of our value system, including for example the protection of personal data, freedom of expression and information, equality and integration as well as the environment will continue to remain very important for our society in ten years time. Perceptions of some of the latest advances in science and technology including cloning, genetically modified organisms and the application of genetics are heavily influenced by the social values and ethics of citizens. The challenge of science and technology decision-makers is to pursue the pace of developments made while accounting for the ethical aspects which Europeans feel so strongly attached to.

SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER N°225 « Social values, science and technology » TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Between 3rd January and 15th February 2005, the TNS Opinion & Social, a consortium created between Taylor Nelson Sofres and EOS Gallup Europe, carried out wave 63.1 of the EUROBAROMETER, on request of the EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Directorate-General Press and Communication, Opinion Polls. The SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER N°225 is part of wave 63.1 and covers the population of the respective nationalities of the European Union Member States, resident in each of the Member States and aged 15 years and over. The EUROBAROMETER 63.1 has also been conducted in the candidate countries (Bulgaria, Romania Croatia and Turkey) and in three EFTA countries (Iceland, Norway and Switzerland). In these countries, the survey covers the national population of citizens of the respective nationalities and the population of citizens of all the EU Member States that are residents in those countries and have a sufficient command of one of the respective national language(s) to answer the questionnaire. The basic sample design applied in all states is a multistage, random (probability) one. In each country, a number of sampling points was drawn with probability proportional to population size (for a total coverage of the country) and to population density. In order to do so, the sampling points were drawn systematically from each of the "administrative regional units", after stratification by individual unit and type of area. They thus represent the whole territory of the countries surveyed according to the EUROSTAT NUTS II (or equivalent) and according to the distribution of the resident population of the respective nationalities in terms of metropolitan, urban and rural areas. In each of the selected sampling points, a starting address was drawn, at random. Further addresses were selected as every Nth address by standard "random route" procedures, from the initial address. In each household, the respondent was drawn, at random (following the "closest birthday rule"). All interviews have been conducted face-to-face in people's home and in the appropriate national language. As far as the data capture is concerned, CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview) was used in those countries where this technique was available.

For each country a comparison between the sample and the universe was carried out. The Universe description was derived from Eurostat population data or from national statistics offices. For all countries surveyed, a national weighting procedure, using marginal and intercellular weighting, was carried out based on this Universe description. As such in all countries, gender, age, region and size of locality were introduced in the iteration procedure. For international weighting (i.e. EU averages), TNS Opinion & Social applies the official population figures as provided by EUROSTAT or national statistic offices. The total population figures for input in this post-weighting procedure are listed above. Readers are reminded that survey results are estimations, the accuracy of which, everything being equal, rests upon the sample size and upon the observed percentage. With samples of about 1,000 interviews, the real percentages vary within the following confidence limits:
