The paper presents an analysis of opinions concerning the use of stem cells (SCs), using tools developed in the field of moral psychology.
To determine the factors that affect beliefs regarding the status of SCs and to evaluate the impact of these factors. The paper investigated whether factors of a moral nature prevail over the knowledge that makes it possible to use SCs in practice.
The analysis of psychological perception is based on a study carried out on a group of 172 Polish and 161 English-speaking first-year medical students. The study was conducted between 2005 and 2007, and in 2019 at the Poznan University of Medical Sciences (Poland).
Knowledge is not the main factor that differentiates approaches towards the use of SCs. The importance of religion in the lives of the respondents has a significant impact on the perception of the use of SCs, and is associated with indications of ethically saturated terms. Focusing on the usefulness of cells is associated with lesser significance of religion and greater value placed on scientific knowledge.
Although the research results indicate a correlation between religiousness and the respondents' perception of the use of SCs, further research is needed into the relationship between the influence of scientific knowledge on views related to SCs.
本文运用道德心理学领域的研究工具，对有关干细胞（SCs）应用的观点进行了分析。
确定影响人们对SCs 地位的看法的因素，并评估这些因素的影响。本文探讨了道德因素是否会超越实际应用 SCs 所需的知识。
对 172 名波兰和 161 名英语母语的医学一年级学生进行了心理感知分析。该研究于 2005 年至 2007 年以及 2019 年在波兰波兹南医科大学进行。
知识并不是区分人们对 SCs 应用态度的主要因素。受访者宗教信仰的重要性对 SCs 的应用感知有重大影响，并与具有伦理色彩的术语有关。关注细胞的有用性与宗教信仰的重要性降低以及对科学知识的重视程度增加有关。
尽管研究结果表明宗教信仰与受访者对 SCs 应用的看法之间存在相关性，但仍需要进一步研究科学知识对与 SCs 相关观点的影响。
