This paper aims to explore how the public"s level of knowledge affects public opinion on scientific issues. Analysis of survey data collected by the KAIST ELSI(Ethical Legal and Social Implications) project team reveals several trends in public opinion. The public"s level of knowledge has not been enhanced in spite of the recent increase in media coverage of scientific issues. The surveys also show that the public"s level of knowledge does not affect the public"s attitude. They tend to form an attitude with little knowledge and accordingly be influenced by experts" opinion. It has been also found that the public seems to underestimate the risks and has and overly positive attitude toward biotechnology. Therefore more effort is needed in order to provide the public with accurate information.
