The data presented here was obtained with the contributions of many people. The principle persons are listed in Table 1, with additional persons listed in individual country chapters. The categorisation of responses was made by Darryl Macer (D.M.), with the exception of Japanese samples which were assigned by Yuko Kato, and teachers by Yukiko Asada (Y.A.), Shiro Akiyama (S.A.), Miho Tsuzuki (M.T.); the Russian public by Vijay Kaushik; and Thai samples by Peerasak Srivines and Prasert Chatwachirawong. The Japanese comments from the International Bioethics Survey were translated by Yuko Kato, and the comments on bioethics from the high school survey in Japan were translated by Yukiko Asada and Nobuko Macer. Additional people who helped distribute the surveys are included in the acknowledgements in each country.
