\"\"<\/a>One Italian in two (47%) thinks it right to allow the use of artificial insemination techniques, also by unmarried heterosexual couples, provided external donors are not used (34% would also allow this type of solution for couples). 37% think it right to use the technology to allow single women to have children, and 16% would also extend this to female homosexual couples. The aspect that most concerns those interviewed is the age of the mother: only 14% would allow women over fifty years of age to use artificial insemination to have children.<\/p>\n

One Italian in four is totally opposed to the use of artificial insemination, even by married couples and without recourse to donors. Overall, 45% are against donation (heterologous artificial insemination) and 33% in favour, while one Italian in five does not know or does not want to express an opinion on the matter.<\/p>\n

The survey was conducted in the first days of September 2002 on a representative sample of 876 Italians over the age of 18.<\/p>\n

This survey marks the beginning of a permanent monitor on relations between the public, institutions and scientific research by Observa.<\/p>\n

Future surveys will address issues such as nuclear energy and research policies.<\/p>\n

Observa is an independent research centre set up as part of POSTER, which intends creating a bridge between scientific research, political decisions and public opinion. The main aims of Observa\u2019s work are to analyse, develop and evaluate solutions for: public participation in scientific, technological, health and environmental contexts; innovative procedures to involve the public in complex decisions and, in general, forms of dialogue between scientists and the wider public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
