Reason:

Arguments:

It really came down to one point - Net Negative or Net Positive - While Con had a few sources that would give an impact weight, Pro had a multitude of scientific studies and in-depth research in their evidence. So - as far as this debate goes - the net positives do outweigh the negatives - as well as the fact that Pro actually rebutted Con's claims, whereas Con concedes the round.
