Based on the Intelligence Squared debate you watched as part of the Learning Activities, which side do you think won the genetic engineering debate
(Krimsky/Winston or Farahany/Silver) and why?
Watch Should Genetically Engineered Babies Be Prohibited? (Time: 01:42:49; transcriipt available) from the Intelligence Squared debate. In the debate,
Sheldon Krimsky and Robert Winston argue that “yes” they should be prohibited (in other words, they are arguing against genetically engineering babies). On
the other side, Nita Farahany and Lee Silver argue that “no” they should not be prohibited (in other words, they are in favor of genetic engineering for babies).
You will be expected to reference this debate in the course of the discussion and the exam.
