Final Report
• Introduction• Theoretical background• Study design
– Interview structure and reasoning – Examples in more detail
• Results• Conclusion• Discussion and Recommendations
Introduction
• Our goal:– To increase public awareness and knowledge
on the commercial use of TE, allowing possibilities for debate and opinion formation and reporting on the result.
Theoretical background
• History of Tissue Engineering
• Ethical aspects of Tissue Engineering
• Misuse of Tissue Engineering?
• The responsibilities of Tissue Engineers
• The role of the commission
• The tasks of the commission
Interview Structure and Reasoning
• Why an interview?
• The way of asking the questions
• The possible arguments the people could have
Results
• Average knowledge of Tissue Engineering– Unfamilar with the terminology
• The applications– Appreciate all the medical applications– Question the cosmetic purposes– Welcome the TE-food with concerns– Relatively neutral towards TE-furniture– Disapprove ReBrain
Conclusion
• Most people only want Tissue Engineering for medical purposes
• People often know some examples but don’t assiociate them with Tissue Engineering
Discussion
• The importance of public knowledge
• Different attitudes towards different applications
• The controversial point – topics for debate
• Limitation of this study
Recommendations
• To further improve the investigations– More subjects– Throughout the country– Focus on daily applications first, then
introduce the applications incrementally– Brochure to clarify the misunderstanding of
TE– More communications with the public
