[DEBATES] Should we de-extinct species?
De-extinction is the process of using advanced biotechnology to revive an extinct species. Several organisms could potentially be brought back, such as the woolly mammoth, thylacine and dodo. On March 4, bioscience company Colossal announced that they had edited seven genes in mice embryos to create mice with hair similar to the mammoth, taking one step closer to resurrecting the species. Proponents believe these efforts could help restore ecological balance by reintroducing species into their original habitats. However, de-extinction raises ethical and practical concerns, with concerns surrounding the immense costs and the uncertainty about whether these animals can truly thrive in modern ecosystems.

[DEBATES] The vote split: People vs. process
The electoral college is the system the United States uses to choose its president. Each state is assigned a number of "electors" based on its population, so when voters cast ballots, they are actually voting for electors who then vote for the president. In most states, the candidate who wins the popular vote gets all of the state's electoral votes.
