Description

Clarification: world B, everyone has one corresponding soul mate who they are perfectly compatible with, emotionally, physically and intellectually. They are the same age. Starting from 16 years old, Every month’s last day, they swap bodies for 24 hours. This occurs until the two meet each other. I am saying it is more beneficial to live in world B than our current world.

Reason:

Conceded, so giving arguments and sources to Con.

I personally think it is bad conduct to excite an opponent with a fun topic and then concede. Con built up a good case, the least you can do is give them a proper counterargument, even if you think you are going to lose.
