Open to Debate · Is Parenting Overrated? (Encore) · 9 Sep 2026 podcast

Hi.

So you uh you emailed us and you told us that you have uh a personal connection to this topic and you would like to ask the debaters a question.

So I'm hoping that it's a really great question and I don't have to turn it down.

Are are you sort of suggesting that you had pretty amazing biological parentage and now you're pretty amazing?

And that's how

it's turned out.

does something ring true to you about that?

Does that oh I recognize that some something's there.

I'd like to I'd like to t fr actually go to Annie first to take on the question.

Just to get your reaction to it.

Okay, again I want to show those uh a lot of people, like forty five people.

We have time for one more question.

Sure.

I'm gonna choose one person from each side and I'd like to give that to you, Nancy.

Thank you, Paige Harden.

And that concludes round two of this debate, where our resolution is parenting is overrated.

And now we move on to round three.

And on round three, the debaters make closing statements.

They will be two minutes each.

Here up first in the round of closing statements, arguing for the resolution, professor of behavioral genetics at King's College London, Robert Ploman.
