Biographical note

In 1999 the Wellcome Trust funded the National Centre for Social Research to carry out a national study of public attitudes towards gene therapy and genetic technology. 696 adults were interviewed and each interviewee was then sent a copy of The Genie. Each adult was contacted again to take part in a follow-up interview based on the issues raised in the magazine.
