A systematic review of the use of genetically modified food in ChinaGao, Rong, 高溶 January 2013 (has links)
Introduction: The Genetically Modified (GM) food, which is one of the fruit of the modern biotechnology, is closely related to people's lives. GM food, specifically, GM crops, also known as biotech food, are produced from genetically modified organisms (GMO), which use genetic engineering techniques to introduce, recombine and modify DNA. The safety of GM food still do not have final conclusion at present. Although GM food has been introduced into China for over 15 years, many of the surveys show that Chinese consumers‘ knowledge of GM food is relatively low comparing with other countries. In 2002, China‘s Ministry of Agriculture promulgated three regulations to manage the GMOs in China. The attitudes and acceptance of market for GM food have direct impact on the development of genetic engineering technique and government‘s policy making. This review aims to investigate cognition and attitudes of GM food among Chinese consumers; to investigate how the consumers react to the GM food labeling policy; to find out how factors such as knowledge about transgenic information, price of GM food would affect the consumption of GM food.
Methods: Relevant studies published between January 2002 and May 2013 were searched and identified through NCBI, CNKI, and Google Scholar with a combination of keywords, such as “GM”, “China”, “attitude”, “knowledge”, and “willingness” both in English and Chinese. Studies regarding the average knowledge level, acceptance and willingness-to-pay (WTP) for GM food among Chinese consumers, and factors affecting the WTP were included.
Results: Of 1032 papers identified, 9 articles fulfilling the selection criteria were included in this systematic review. Among the 9 articles, 7 were written in English, 2 in Chinese. Awareness and knowledge of GM food among Chinese consumers were still not satisfying.
Given the potential risks, the public tended to hold divergent attitudes to GM food, which had significantly influenced the WTP. Socio-economic factors such as the number of children, and external factors such as information and price also affected the WTP. Among all the factors, positive attitudes (including willingness-to-accept WTA), and positive information about GM food have significant positive influence on the WTP of GM food, while consumer‘s number of children, price of GM food and negative information about GM food would reduce the purchase intention.
Discussion: Positive attitudes (including willingness-to-accept WTA), and positive information have significant positive influence on the WTP of GM food, while increasing number of children and price of GM food and negative information would reduce the purchase intention. It is necessary to strengthen the comprehensive and objective propaganda of GM food and transgenic technology; enhance the management of GM food; plan and develop GM food industry with focus on low-income consumers for they are more willing to buy GM food. / published_or_final_version / Public Health / Master / Master of Public Health

Eating in the dark – an ethical appraisal of genetically modified foods’Early, Janet 10 November 2011 (has links)
Science can define what is practicable, what can be done, but it cannot
determine which developments it is right to pursue- this is largely an ethical
judgment attempting to answer ‘ought we to do it’? The most sensible approach
to making an ethical assessment is to try and weigh up the benefits of a novel
technology against its potential to do harm. Deciding whether GM technology is
acceptable in ethical terms involves a judgment about both the plausibility and
moral weight of competing sets of claims, beginning with an assessment of the
possible benefits and risks.
Using four main guiding principles as the basis of my discussion and point of
evaluation, I focus firstly on the principle of general welfare to examine the
debate what would amount to an adequate safety assessment of GM foods and
its possible ecological risk. The right of consumers to freedom of choice is
addressed by exploring both the arguments against and for labelling. The
principle of justice then questions the claims whether food security can indeed be
improved by using GM technology and how patents, bioprospecting and
biopiracy can be judged ethically justifiable. Finally the ethical status of the
natural world is raised by attempting to answer whether modern biotechnology
could be considered blasphemous and whether it is ethically permissible to
breach the natural integrity of the species.
Using these guiding principles do not make such as assessment straightforward
as they cannot be rigidly applied in an abstract way to reflect absolutes on what
is right or wrong and their operation depends on context. My approach is
normative and presented in a way to stimulate dialogue as an explorative ethical
travel through the genetically modified zone with the recognition that the debate
remains inconclusive and controversial.
