Over the last few years genetic engineering has taken leaps and bounds forward with the creation and study of the CRISPR technique, and will only continue to become more detrimental to the fields of medicine and biology in the years to come. With so much in store for the future of genetics, what do college students, future scientists and researchers, believe about this up and coming technology? Are college students as secular and scientifically progressive as we make them out to be? A short survey was formed in order to get the opinions of college students on genetic engineering, specifically prenatal. 39 participants were ultimately recorded, all of which took the survey anonymously online.
