Brief Questionnaire to Assess Compatibility
With Worldview Themes #44A & 44B

Respond to each of the following below on a 1 to 5 scale, where
     1= strongly disagree      2 = disagree      3 = neutral      4 = agree      5 = strongly agree
If you don’t have understand, or are confused by a particular question, select 3= neutral.

Note: An * in front of the question indicates that this has been used in national public opinion surveys. 

*1. Abortion should never be permitted.

*2. Suppose a 72 year old female with lung cancer is told by her doctor that the cancer has begun to spread throughout her body and that chemical and radiation treatments do not seem to be working. The doctor tells her that she can expect to get continually worse with more and more pain and die in two months. Given the situation, I’d say that this person should ask for physician assisted suicide.

3. My respect for the sanctity, integrity, and dignity of life is such that I will oppose certain medical, biotechnological, or agribusiness practices that conceivably could degrade it or involve “playing God”.

4. I do not engage in any behavior, nor sanction any acts which needlessly inflict pain on conscious and feeling living things.

*5. Carrying out the death penalty for persons convicted of murder is morally wrong.

*6. Animals should have the same moral rights that humans do.

*7. It is right to use animals for medical testing if it might save human lives.

*8. I sometimes go hunting.

*9. On the issue of abortion, I’d say that I’m more pro-life than pro-choice.

*10. I believe that abortion is always morally wrong.

*11. I belong to an organization that is concerned with animal rights issues.

*12. I oppose the use of mice in scientific research.

*13. Conducting medical research ought to be the priority on the stem cell issue, rather than not destroying human embryos.

*14. Buying and wearing clothing made of animal fur is morally wrong.

*15. Medical testing on animals is morally acceptable.
