To clarify concerns that the public has with genetic technologies, the article presents the results of focus group interviews conducted in Denmark in 2000. The concerns of the public are divided into three ideal-typical categories: social (dealing with environmental and health risks), economic (dealing with both the threats and opportunities of the new technologies), and cultural (taking up ethical and moral concerns). Following a general discussion of why it is important to take these discourses of concern seriously, each discursive category is discussed with examples taken from the focus group interviews.
为了澄清公众对基因技术的担忧，本文呈现了2000年在丹麦进行的焦点小组访谈结果。公众的担忧分为三个理想类型的类别：社会方面（涉及环境和健康风险）、经济方面（涉及新技术的威胁和机遇）以及文化方面（涉及伦理和道德问题）。在对为何认真对待这些担忧的论述很重要进行一般性讨论之后，每个论述类别都结合焦点小组访谈中的实例进行了讨论。
