Yes. The host will prompt when to start and stop posting throughout the game in this thread.

You CAN vote in this thread, for the sake of clarity for other players, but there is a voting thread, so you must vote there, this is so that hosts don't accidentally miss votes - it will matter in tiebreakers.

edit for blkcoffee - looks like Mage accounted for the time between role distribution and silence to me.

That's a convenient strategy, but why would a newcomer to TL Mafia whom I imagine you have no prior experience with respond in the same manner besides collusion?

So guys, what are your thoughts on CRISPR technology? I did a presentation on it recently and it's a tool to edit genes/DNA. Just interested in your thoughts.

If we refine our knowledge of CRISPR we can basically cure genetic diseases and make all mosquitoes male so they don't bite humans and spread shit like malaria, Zika, etc. Common genetic diseases include Tay-Sachs Disease, Down Syndrome, forms of cancer, Parkinson's Disease, etc. So we can cure millions of lives.

On the other hand, we can change the cosmetic appearances of our children at will like height, eye color, hair color. Not to mention increase physical capabilities. So supersoldiers aren't far off. The problem I have with this is that people will try to fit a social stereotype of an attractive appearance which is harmful for people's conceptions of themselves. Not to mention it creates a division between the rich and poor since editing embryos requires in vitro fertilization which is an expensive process. Also, there's the issue of personhood with embryos. Should we be allowed to edit embryos? Are they "people" yet at an embryonic stage or until they're born and develop thought? What about as a fetus when their brain starts developing or they start feeling pain? All questions to think about.

So what are your thoughts? Pro-CRISPR or anti-CRISPR? :3
