V. RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

[SP]

Q58A: Finally, we’d like to ask you to use your imagination. Imagine that [PPGENDER = 2: Sylvia /

PPGENDER = 1: Daniel] has taken a genetic test to determine which part of the world

[PPGENDER = 2: her / PPGENDER = 1: his] ancestors are from, and has just received the

results.

Should [PPGENDER = 2: Sylvia / PPGENDER = 1: Daniel] be permitted to submit the results of the

DNA test showing [PPGENDER = 2: her / PPGENDER = 1: his] racial or ethnic ancestry as part

of an application, either for admission to college or for a job?

Yes, [IF PPGENDER=2, she; IF PPGENDER=1, he]

should....................................................1

No, [IF PPGENDER=2, she; IF PPGENDER=1, he]

should not..............................................2

Q58C. [PPGENDER = 2: Sylvia / PPGENDER = 1: Daniel] has taken a genetic test to determine which

part of the world [PPGENDER = 2: her / PPGENDER = 1: his] ancestors are from, and has just

received the results.

Suppose that [PPGENDER = 2: Sylvia’s / PPGENDER = 1: Daniel’s] DNA test shows some American

Indian ancestry. Should [PPGENDER = 2: she / PPGENDER = 1: he] be permitted to submit

the results of the DNA test as part of an application for admission to an American Indian tribe, or

not?

Yes, [IF PPGENDER=2, she; IF PPGENDER=1, he]

should....................................................1

No, [IF PPGENDER=2, she; IF PPGENDER=1, he]

should not..............................................2

[MP]

Q59A: [PPGENDER = 2: Maria / PPGENDER = 1: David] has taken a genetic test to determine the

likelihood of developing an inherited disease. The test has come out positive, suggesting that

[PPGENDER = 2: Maria / PPGENDER = 1: David] is likely to develop the disease.

If you were [PPGENDER = 2: Maria / PPGENDER = 1: David], who would you share this information

with?

No one [SP]................................................1

Members of my family................................2

My doctor or other medical professionals.. .3

Medical or scientific researchers.................4
