Public opinion and biotechnological innovation [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
This article examines public support for genomic and modern biotechnological innovations with an eye to developing a general model of public opinion formation in this area. The burgeoning field of genomic science has seen rapid advances in recent years with a host of new applications in medicine, agriculture, and related fields. From genetic testing for hereditary diseases and DNA fingerprinting in criminal cases, to the introduction of genetically modified crops, genetic innovations are transforming our understanding of science and its potential for altering human society. The sequencing of the human genome and breakthroughs in stem cells and cloning research promise to push the frontiers of this science.
