Abstract

The objective of this study consists on the gathering of information about knowledge and attitudes regarding genetic research from a university student sample, its opinions about the use of personal information of this type and its disposition to undergo predictive genetic testing. Methodology consisted on a collective, anonymous and voluntary administration of an adapted questionnaire to a sample of 232 students from first courses of Infirmary and Psychology at Universidad de Murcia. Results show a wide support of genetic research, mainly regarding the new possibilities for preventing, diagnosing and treating disease. Nevertheless there are certain areas which are perceived as ethical limits. A rigorous control in the use and the storage of the genetic information is perceives as necessary.
