Genetic Technologies Meet the Public: The Discourses of Concern
Science, Technology, and Human Values 31 (1):8-28 (2006)
Abstract
To clarify concerns that the public has with genetic technologies, the article presents the results of focus group interviews conducted in Denmark in 2000. The concerns of the public are divided into three ideal-typical categories: social, economic, and cultural. Following a general discussion of why it is important to take these discourses of concern seriously, each discursive category is discussed with examples taken from the focus group interviews.Other Versions
