Resolved: Unwinding should be legalized.

Thank you for accepting, Pro. The type of unwinding being discussed in this debate is the unwinding of criminals. I am opposed to this. Bodily Autonomy http://www.ucs.louisiana.edu... "The Plaintiff, Robert McFall, suffers from a rare bone marrow disease [aplastic anemia, a disease where the patient"s bone marrow fails to manufacture certain necessary blood components.] and the prognosis for his survival is very dim, unless he receives a bone marrow transplant from a compatible donor. Finding a compatible donor is a very difficult task, and limited to a selection among close relatives. After a search and certain tests, it has been determined that only the Defendant [David Shimp, a first cousin to 39-year-old McFall] is suitable as a donor. The Defendant refuses to submit to the necessary transplant, and the before the Court is a request for a preliminary injunction which seeks to compel the defendant to submit to further tests, and, eventually, the bone marrow transplant." Basically, in the court case of Mcfall vs. Shimp, Robert Mcfall had an uncurable bone marrow disease, and the only person who could donate the bone marrow was his cousin Shimp. However, the court ruled that Shimp had the right to deny Mcfall the body part needed. ""for our law to compel defendant to submit to an intrusion of his body would change every concept and principle upon which our society is founded."" The law is made to protect one's choice about what they want to do with their own body, not a utilitarian stance. My opponent is an advocate of unwinding criminals. http://unwind.wikia.com... "Once, when he was on a hike, he got hit by a Mercedes which damaged his right temporal lobe. His brain tissue was replaced with an Unwind's, later revealed to be Tyler Walker. In other cases, patients will be given brain bits, but CyFi's dads chose to pay off the surgeon so he could get an entire temporal lobe from a single Unwind because they believed that it works better, not knowing its effects. At one point, CyFi began receiving some of the Unwind's habits and his compulsive disorder (particularly of stealing shiny things) and this Unwind began overwhelming him with thoughts, feelings and urges, the Unwind apparently not fully realizing that he has been Unwound yet. " There are many dangers of having criminal parts given to people. The parts of the criminal influence the recipient, which in the case of CyFi, turned him into a robber as well, with only 1/6 of Tyler Walker's brain. If only a sixth of a criminal brain would turn a good citizen into a robber, potentially 6 people will become criminals instead of just one. http://www.naturalnews.com...# "In one case, a Spanish-speaking man began using words that he had not used prior to his transplant. He received his heart from a man named David who had died in a car accident. David's wife, Glenda, when meeting the recipient of her husband's heart for the first time, used the word "copacetic" to describe the situation. The recipient's mother quickly replied that her son had begun using that word for the first time and that it did not even have a Spanish equivalent, indicating that he had adopted the word from David. The recipient's son, who had before been a vegetarian, began craving meat and greasy food after his transplant. His music preferences also changed from favoring heavy metal to preferring fifties rock 'n' roll. All of these preferences turned out to be David's preferences as well. In another case, an 8-year-old girl who had received a heart transplant from a 10-year-old girl that had been murdered, began to have nightmares about the donor's murderer. After several consultations with a psychiatrist, it was decided that the police should be notified. The 8-year-old recipient was able to identify key clues about the murder, including who the murderer was, when and how it happened, and even the words spoken by the murderer to the victim. Amazingly, the entire testimony turned out to be true and the murderer was convicted for his crime. Pearsall's 73 different case studies point to the fact that both the brain and the heart hold important information about a person. According to his analysis, cell communication that occurs throughout the body on a continual basis can continue to occur after an organ has been removed from one person and transplanted into another. Information from the donor seems to install into the recipient's memories." So according to the 73 case studies, if we legalize unwinding of criminals, the criminal's personality will be transferred to the recipients, resulting in more harm to society. Conclusion Based on the principle of Bodily Autonomy, unwinding without consent is morally impermissible.It is unpractical for the reasons of organs containing memories or personalities of the previous user, resulting in more crime.
