Genetic engineering conference
Relevant topic(s): 1.2 Shared Reality
At a conference on genetic engineering, two panelists, Dr. Hallstein and Dr. Yamazawa, are having a heated debate over the effectiveness of gene editing of mosquitos in reducing the spread of malaria. Dr. Hallstein thinks the approach can drastically reduce disease spread, whereas Dr. Yamazawa argues that it has negligible effect. How can the attendees of the conference decide who is correct in reality? Choose one.
- They cannot. Both panelists are correct to themselves, and they should agree to disagree.
- The attendees should take a vote. The claim receiving more than 50% of the votes is the correct one.
- They should defer to the most reputable senior scientist at the conference.
They cannot yet, but they can continue to gather more evidence to see which opinion is more likely to be correct.
