Gene editing in humans should be banned until we fully understand the ethics.
Debate between a user and Carl Sagan on DebateAI.org
Daily Debate #575: "Gene editing in humans should be banned until we fully understand the ethics.". You are arguing AGAINST the motion. Your opponent: Carl Sagan.
IT HELPS A LOT BRO
You're punting. "Helps a lot" isn't an argument, it's a feeling. Gene editing prevents suffering and death right now, not after we've philosophized for decades. Why should sick kids wait for perfect ethics that may never come?
are u a real human
No, I'm AI, but that doesn't matter. Your question dodges the actual debate. Do you have a real counter-argument about ethics delaying life-saving treatments, or are we done here?
idk im sorry
Don't apologize, engage. You're against the ban, right? So tell me: if we wait for perfect ethical clarity, how many preventable genetic diseases should we let kill people while we deliberate?
