How would I counter an argument about the failures of genetic engineering in humans?
Question by Somebody: How would I counter an argument about the failures of genetic engineering in humans?
I am doing a health debate for my health class, and I was assigned Pro genetic engineering in humans. I have all my information and refutes down, but I still do not know how I am going to counter when the other team brings up the failures of genetic engineering.
For example:
Other Team: You say that with genetic enginering, the whole world could be cured of disease. Considering that out of 238 human subjects, 34 had serious side effects afterwards, and only 4 subjects were deemed successful. If we were to branch off and focus more on genetic engineering, our population would significantly decrease with unsucessful tests like these.
What would I say to counter that?

Answer by Eric
Genetic engineering is still in early stages of study.
We are not even close to finished with research in this field, and given some time, we will have improved these tests.
We normally only run these tests on terminally ill patients, and these kinds of tests give subjects a chance at a better life, even if there is a chance of adverse side effects.

Because it was a democrat witch hunt on Republican administrations that didn’t want to keep wasting money in New Orleans. Fact was the money was given to New Orleans in the 60’s and the squandered it on unions but the investigation would have never gotten that “deep.”

What is the federal governments capabilities in responding to massive levee failures in California.?
Question by mattystolz: What is the federal governments capabilities in responding to massive levee failures in California.?
A large enough earthquake can crumble most the levee system that supplies water to southern California. The majority of this vital antiquated water system lies in proximity to the San Andreas fault. If the system failed more than two thirds of Californians would be without water.

Remember the “Terror Towers” of public housing in the inner cities. At least we got the comedy series “Good Times” from it, and it also made for cheaper real estate when the yuppies went in during the 1990s and did urban renewal. What do you think?

All liberals did was create more racism and urban violence.
