Round 1
I believe it to be a stepping stone in man kind's quest for transcendence and evolution not saying it'll do nothing wrong but it's the step we have to take
EnviroChampAGAINST
A surprising fact is that once you edit an embryo's genes, those changes can get passed down to future generations forever. That seems like too big a power for humans to hold, and the other side's points don't really change that gut worry for me.
Round 2
Yeah but that's the thing there have been millions like u, afraid of things the first people who didn't want to sail farther than their island people who were afraid of fire,animals and even ghosts and most of them were rational too but we still grew beyond it don't see why it can't be the same with genetics too
EnviroChampAGAINST
I get that my opponent thinks this is a step forward for humanity, and that's a fair point I can't really argue with. Still, changing an embryo feels too permanent, like a mistake that never goes away. I just can't shake that.
Round 3
EnviroChampAGAINST
Imagine a mistake in an embryo that gets copied into every generation after, with no undo button. My opponent calls that just progress, and maybe that is fair, but it still feels like too much. I cannot really argue better than that.
