(2) Whether they would consider the use of pre-implantationembryos for medical research. (3) Whether attitudes toward the previous two issues are linked to gender, field of study, transcendental/spiritual convictions and political biases. (4) A panel of discussion will modify their opinion. Results: The present study shows that, before attending a discussion panel session, media was the main source of information that the students had on the surveyed topics. A discussion panel was useful for clarifying respondents’ opinions on the explored items. Significantly, the discussion panel had an influence on those respondents who did not have a formed opinion on the explored items. Conclusions: A discussion panel is a convenient, but limited tool, in the shaping of undergraduate opinions on ethically controversial scientific matters.engAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/journal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.edumed.2018.10.010open accessBioethicsHealth-sciencesundergraduatesDiscussion panelPreimplantation embryosScience and religionScience attitudes and perceptionsStem cellsBioéticaPregraduados en ciencias de la saludPanel de discusiónEmbrión preimplantatorioCiencia y religiónActitudes y percepciones científicasCélulas madreGinecología y obstetriciaBioética (Biología)Biología celular (Biología)GenéticaReligión (Sociología)Enseñanza universitaria3201.08 Ginecología7103.04 Ética de la Ciencia2407 Biología Celular2409 Genética6301.10 Sociología de la Religión5801.08 Enseñanza Programada
