Abstract

This article investigates public engagement with gene-editing technologies in Aotearoa New Zealand, focusing on the similarities and differences between Māori and non-Māori perspectives. A national survey with an equal number of Māori and non-Māori participants reveals complex responses to gene editing across various applications (human medical treatments, food production, conservation). K-means cluster analysis identifies distinct attitudinal groups, highlighting the importance of recognizing diverse values in shaping robust gene technology policies.
