Excellent resource found this year to me for improving my communication skill and learn how to present myself. Thanks for this wonderful resource OxfordUnion 😄🥰👍👌👏

Most useful resource i found this year for sure!!👌👏

[@vishalhumbe6420]

Same here for me Vaishnavi in this year. Really a wonderful resource to learn a lot of things such as how to communicate, deliver, present yourself with confidence, patience and calmness. Really wonderful resource to improve as a person, communicator, team player and leader.

I'm with the old fashioned human way. I only got where I am by my choices and faults which ultimately strengthened me in the fires of my affliction.

[@boriscuduco6398]

And? Why future generations cannot be engineered to be superhumans? Aren't you being jealous?

[@teacup347]

‘Only got where I am by my choices and faults’ is rather dishonest of you to say. You either benefited or were disadvantaged by your genes immensely. Some people are born a better runner or a faster learner, and some are born chronically ill. Though genes were given to you through no merit of your own. I am not sure why you would wish others to fail at genetic lottery.

[@chrisjones7594]

We cannot lose our morals or aspects. If they go forward, I will see them on the trap line.

[@MarkoKraguljac]

Competitive debater or not, her arguments are naive and shallow for such a serious topic. Genetic engineering will only amplify existing cultural tendencies and we are still, culture-wise, in dark ages.

Anyone notice she does not have a British/English accent?

[@ethancui5654]

Yeah.Pure American

[@simonpeterdebbarma]

She studied in the American School at Warsaw. That's probably why.

[@einzelganger7744]

She is Indian...

[@420alfonzo6]

How dose someone's genetics take away from that person's identity and sense of hope? Sure, they're a supper good runner and their genetics helped that, but do you think all people are born on an equal playing field genetically. Some people can run faster than others without being produced to do that, it's in their genetics. If people's hope isn't effected now because of their inherited genes, then how would someone whose been engineered be effected.

[@divyaprakash2269]

This girl is rocking! Would love to hear more from her! Content of the matter was very good and its delivery could be improved incorporating more gestures and emotions.

Good news, she became the president of the union and she could well be in high office soon

What does the guy in the desk between opposition and proposition (not the union president) is writing?

Hope that helps!

[@vaishnavivepa3196]

Same question😅 gotta know more!

[@stopscammingman]

Maybe if we went back in time 500 years and asked people what they thought of a society where infant mortality was vastly lower, birth control far more efficient and childbirth less painful and much safer, perhaps some would balk and although conceding it would have many advantages, also argue it would make life too good and take away the challenges in life, making it less meaningful and precious. I think that for most parents, making a genetically modified baby will be less like a vain person designing a handbag and more like Gepetto making his child.

I have dream to participate on debate in front of Oxford people...

[@dejiraji9994]

Same here

[@rob1562]

jo7dan199 I agree with this and it think its better to argue beliefs over local debates but if 1 mind of these people(if they could be considered as that :) are changed life could be better for the people they are effect so badly in this generation of Britain and western culture

All the best.....work without rest......and conquer the quest! 😅😝✌

[@TheodoreHolgate]

I don't think CRISPR should have started this debate. We should have both thought possible and been aware of the potential consequences of a technology like this (hindsight 2024) long before it was developed. Even now, 6 years since this debate, many of the worries concerning gene editing tech remain directed at consequences of a future, much advanced form of genetic engineering. While a great discussion to have, genetic engineering is only one of several areas of science currently set with enormous potential in the coming years, and these leaps in tech are seemingly both theoretical and inevitable. It's of the highest importance then to spread awareness and educate everyone about these things to the fullest extent, but less important to debate whether we "need" it, or if it "has a place". The mechanisms of the universe as we know it are there for us to learn, they are vast and beyond our current scope, what good would come of stopping our learning because of a concern made with such little pre-existing understanding?

[@OB-806]

Credit to the Proposition speakers for being able to argue such a backwards and blatantly stupid idea with straight faces.

No need to understand a topic at all before arguing about it? oh....right....PPE.....

[@JohnLewis-lu6zi]

Easy for a smart, attractive woman to tell other people they can't be made smart and attractive if they're not assigned that in the genetic lottery.

[@Deedlanger]

I would rather be modified to live a life where i won’t suffer than to live in this imperfect body. If this body gets too old and useless i may as well kill myself than to keep living in an old body that loses its privilege to drive cars and do normal human activities.

If everyone picks the same perfect genes, then how could genetic diversity be effected?

[@cactusboysucculent5137]

I should think we can clone better sets of superior functional genes. We do not need weak genes.

She has a Christian name, I am pretty sure she is from a Christian background though practicing or not is another subject. I am sure she is not from any cast.

[@crazyfishmonster459]

incredibly dull speaker, no charisma whatsoever. I thought PPE students were meant to be the model politicians, this is more local councillor tier...

[@crazyfishmonster459]

oh it's a great course, it just seems to produce the most self-centred, holier-than-thou drones, especially those who read at Oxford.

[@rob1562]

great constructive criticism you if u dont have anything good to say dont say it

[@Chickalee03]

While I do not agree with her debate points, she delivered them well. She is a competitive debater so may not even believe the main tenants of her debate but is participating to advance our understanding of this topic. Either way, kudos to both sides.

[@seamuscollins3449]

That's a reprehensible and extremely condescending comment. I thought her arguments were well constructed and well delivered. You can say what you like of course, but I'll say that I'm far more impressed by her ability to stand up and make out her case (in front of what must have been a pretty intimidating crowd) than your snide and supercilious youtube commentary.

[@vaishnavivepa3196]

She is sleep deprived...........can bring charisma when ur so tired af?! Just see how good and convincing her points put up were and its Oxford they have a hard time:\😅
