Humanities & Social ScienceThe GSS has a variable, GENEGOO2, with an N ~ 2,500, that asks:

Below the fold are charts which show attitudes based on politics, highest degree attained, vocab score, attitude toward Bible, sex, religion, income, socioeconomic index and race.

Comments
One variable that seems to have been ignored -- that I think is important -- is whether or not the respondent has a genetic disorder. My primary concern is that of discrimination based upon genetic testing.
