Currently. I’m thinking of writing an essay that addresses the third prompt that Dr. Reno provided. However, part of me is contemplating incorporating the character AI, “Debate Champion,” into my project. For example, I’d write an essay that lays out my argumentation, have debate AI respond to it, and then proceed to do a rebuttal. I’d like to present my research through a video to everyone. Part of the reason I would like to do this is that students are constantly overloaded with reading material, having something audible would allow a change in the medium that students typically interact with. Moreover, when it comes to debate and argumentation, I find myself more engaged when I can hear and listen to the arguments, as opposed to simply reading them.
My goal in this project is to educate my audience and persuade them of my opinion. Outside of that, the rapid progression of technology has caused anxiety among many individuals, especially concerning biological enhancements. I hope to speak to those people and reassure them.
To achieve this goal, I’ll be utilizing the following sources:
- EnhancmentMurray.pdf
- Prenatal Testing and the Future of Down Syndrome – The Atlantic
- New breeds of humans: the moral obligation to enhance
- The Case Against Perfection – The Atlantic
- Catholic Conceptions of Personhood and Gene Editing | Contending Modernities
- We Already Enhance Ourselves | PHIL 251: David F.
Given that I do not have a position on the matter, nor am I well-read on this subject, the main obstacle will be a lack of familiarity with the material itself. If I can overcome these obstacles, I don’t anticipate that the project itself will be too overwhelming.
