Begin research on genetically modified (GM) animals
It's time to prepare for the debate on GM muscles. The debate will focus on the question "Are there any conditions under which it is acceptable to genetically modify muscles in humans?" As before, the debate will come from the two main positions:
The Negative Position: No, there are no conditions under which the genetic modification of muscles is acceptable.
The Affirmative Position: Yes, there are conditions under which the genetic modification of muscles can be permitted. The team with this position can spell out under what conditions it is acceptable and why.
As before, give equal consideration to each position so you're able to anticipate and prepare for what the other side's arguments will be. This is the last debate and we want to make sure it is the strongest of the three; make sure you understand both positions to make that happen.
You will need to address the following questions:
What is the issue you're dealing with?
What is your position and why?
What are the positive consequences of your position and which parties do they affect?
What are the potential negative consequences of your position and which parties do they affect?
Why do the positive consequences outweigh the negative consequences (or vice versa, depending on your position)?
Make sure you're familiar with the information for each of these questions for both positions to be prepared for what the other team has in store.
I want you to first conduct some research on both sides of the argument to fill in any holes that exist from your research for the presentation. Once you feel confident with your approach, it is always a good idea to conduct a run-through with your teammates, and then refine your strategy based on this experience. You might try taking turns defending each position to make sure you each understand both sides. As with all tasks, strong project management will help to make the details easier to track and complete.
