As with all our live debates, the audience voted on the resolution prior to the debate. Initially, 29% were in favor, 35% were opposed. We did another poll after the debate to find out how many people had changed their minds. But before we give you those results, let's first dive into this rich and fascinating debate. We're going to join Gregory Stock with his opening statement in favor of the motion. Be it resolved, let's engineer better human beings.

And just a reminder to the audience, thank you again for clapping when you see those clocks count down on the side screens. Please keep our debaters on the toes, and that'll keep us moving along from one section to the next. Joyce. Thank you.
