Man injects a woman with HIV: should he gotten death row

Round 1.) Introduction Round 2.) Argument Round 3.) Rebuttal Round 4.) Conclusion I believe this man should get death row for his actions because this could cause her to get AIDS which is a deadly incurable disease. So he is slowly killing this innocent woman so he should get put to death because he put her to the same fate. HIV Definition: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic, potentially life-threatening condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). By damaging your immune system, HIV interferes with your body's ability to fight the organisms that cause disease. HIV is a sexually transmitted infection. Source: http://www.mayoclinic.org... A former Lafayette doctor who is 17 years into a 50-year prison sentence for injecting his ex-mistress with the AIDS virus was denied parole at a Thursday hearing in Baton Rouge. Richard J. Schmidt, 66, was convicted of attempted second-degree murder in 1998 in a case that attracted international media attention.A three-member state parole panel voted unanimously Thursday against Schmidt"s bid for release, said Daniel Landry III, first assistant with the 15th Judicial District Attorney"s Office.Schmidt has never admitted wrongdoing, and Landry said the former doctor on Thursday continued to dispute the evidence against him.Schmidt, who is serving his time at the Elayn Hunt Correctional Center in St. Gabriel, is not eligible for early release for good behavior until 2023, Landry said.Schmidt was convicted of injecting nurse Janice Trahan Allen with a tainted shot in 1994 after she ended a long-term extramarital affair with the doctor.Prosecutors said the shot, given under the guise of a B-12 vitamin injection, was filled with blood drawn from two of Schmidt"s patients " one with AIDS and another with hepatitis C.The victim, who has survived, testified against Schmidt"s release at Thursday"s hearing, Landry said.Schmidt exhausted his appeals in state court about 10 years ago and also challenged his conviction for several years in the federal court system, including failed attempts to have the U.S. Supreme Court hear the case, said 15th Judicial District Attorney Keith States, who prosecuted Schmidt in the 1990s while working as assistant district attorney.

Man injects a woman with HIV: should he gotten death row

The main problem about the death penalty is that it is a solution that cannot be undone. In the united states it is estimated, and this is a conservative estimate, that "4.1% [of death row inmates] would be exonerated" [1] if they were on death row indefinitely. In other words, potentially 4.1% of people who are killed because of capital punishment would have been found not guilty at some point later, due to a false conviction in the original trial. We are killing innocent people with capital punishment. I would argue that it is better to let 96 murderers continue to live if we save the lives of 4 innocent people. In addition, the primary reason why we punish murderers is so that they cannot kill anyone else. Life imprisonment does this role quite perfectly, as the murderer will be unable to murder anyone else. Additionally, it is an archaic way of thinking to believe in the "eye for an eye" rule. A murderer could still be productive in society, and just the fact they murdered someone, it doesn't suddenly make their life worth any less than someone else. Killing them should also be wrong. Now, while I said earlier life imprisonment would satisfy the desire to prevent a murderer from murdering again, there are other means of doing this as well. I don't think tax money should have to go to providing for someone who murdered someone else, while they provide nothing for society in return which is what happens with life imprisonment. Rather, they should still be in society, but since they murdered someone, they give up other rights, such as a right to privacy. The government or police force can constantly monitor the person, perhaps it can be required that they have a chip on them at all times to monitor where they are, as well as a camera. It can be made illegal for this person to purchase anything that can be used as a weapon, and they must give up anything in their possession already that can be used as a weapon. In addition, perhaps it should be required that they improve the lives of others through community service hours that they have to provide for the rest of their life. In this situation, if the person is later to be found innocent, then all of these punishments can be stopped, whereas for capital punishment, that can't be undone. Sources: [1] http://www.pnas.org...
abortion

No, a human baby in the womb has nothing to do with an egg. Babys form in wombs not egg shells like a chicken. The egg shell shelters the forming chicken but is not the chicken itself. The ovary, or egg of a woman, gets fertilized and becomes a forming baby itself. Either way, chicken or human, a baby is forming. And may i emphasize a HUMAN BABY! Whether it is fully formed or not does not make the baby less human. FYI most chicken eggs that are eaten are actually unfertilized eggs, and will not become a chicken. It is simply a chicken period. But if that egg is fertilized it is a chicken forming inside of an egg.
abortion

Okay, to clarify are we talking about the abortion of a chicken or the abortion of a human being? Obviously any farmer can go out to his chicken house and grab a chicken and cut his throat, skin it, clean it, and eat it for dinner. There is absolutely nothing morally wrong about this. So whether or not a chicken's baby is growing inside of an egg and you kill it to eat an egg, has nothing to do with what is morally wrong because we are totally allowed to kill chickens and eat them. Weather in meat form or in yolk form. But if we are talking about a human being everything changes. First of all human beings do not grow and form inside of an egg, rather they form inside of the womb of a mother. So a cracked egg would be equal to splitting open the stomach of a woman. It is morally wrong to kill a person. We all know that, and that is why we have laws against murdering a human. If you kill a chicken it is not murder, but if you kill a human it is murder. So the question now is, at what point is a human a human? What makes us human? I would venture to say that what makes us human is our own conscience, our volitional decisions, a heart that beats and blood that flows. If one was to venture to say that you are not human if you are not fully formed, then you would have to call a lot of handicapped people unhuman. Many people have been born without limbs or with deformed limbs or other body parts. There are also many people that have lost limbs In the Heat of battle. Does this make them any less human? If it does not make them any less human, then that must mean that those things are never what made them human in the first place. So my question is this, what exactly do people that have been born already have that a baby inside of the womb does not have that makes people who have been born more human?

Stand Your Ground Laws do More Good Than Harm

Replies: 1~ I found this NRC statement shown on your source page for this argument: "The committee found that answers to some of the most pressing questions cannot be addressed with existing data and research methods, however well designed. For example, despite a large body of research, the committee found no credible evidence that the passage of right-to-carry laws decreases or increases violent crime, and there is almost no empirical evidence that the more than 80 prevention programs focused on gun-related violence have had any effect on children's behavior, knowledge, attitudes, or beliefs about firearms. The committee found that the data available on these questions are too weak to support unambiguous conclusions or strong policy statements." Be careful that your sources don't give people the means with which to bring down your argument. 2~ Elderly people are often somewhat unstable, in many senses of the the word. While having a weapon would help them become less of a target, degrading mental health could cause them to make mistakes, possibly at the detriment of others. In the end the risk just isn't worth it. They probably wouldn't have too much longer to live anyway (Sorry, but it's the truth). 3~ Stand your ground laws only apply (or not) when you are in a situation where escape is an option. Miss Baker's actions fall under self defence. Just the other day an ominous looking arab man walked onto my yard. I just assumed he was examining the property and thinking about buying a similar house, and I was correct. But with stand your ground laws, I could have shot him. Maybe I would've gotten arrested, maybe not. It all gets very blurry. All that's technically required is usually just that I THINK I'm in danger. In the end, people get scared a lot more than they get in danger. It puts way too much pressure on society to tread softly, and just isn't really worth it. It is a law that stands as an exception to the long held law that you should do all within your power to NOT hurt people. Assault is assault, and murder is murder. Any sentence starting with "I thought" should never have a place in court. Once you get out of the realm of observable evidence, and into trying to figure out peoples motives, you're playing mind games, and we don't really have the expertise yet to be able to really do that right.
Stand Your Ground Laws do More Good Than Harm

Hello! My name is Pokemonzr, and I am on the pro/for side of this debate. I believe that Stand Your Ground Laws do more good than harm. Before I say anything further, I would like to lay out the structure of the debate. Round 1) Acceptance/Rules Round 2) Refutations/Main Arguments. Round 3) Refutations/Main Arguments. (New Arguments Accepted) Round 4) Rebuttal. (Refutations, Overlook, Weighing Impacts, No New Arguments). I would also like to lay out a set of rules for both my opponent and I to adhere to. 1. Swear words are strictly prohibited. 2. Being a jerk is also prohibited. 3. Structure MUST be followed. 4. Sources with proper links MUST be cited. 5. We both MUST NOT offend each other or any readers. Any failure to follow these rules will result in points being taken away by the voters, and ultimately loss of the debate. Thank you for reading and I eagerly await a worthy opponent.
The companies going to other countries is bad for the U.S

I'd argue it's good. In fact I'd argue that it increases capital in countries that sorely need it and additionally brings us low costs materials. For instance in the last couple of month, unlike most, Walmart's stocks have increased. Specifically this is because people enjoy buying cheap goods from Walmart. Walmart can sell cheap because it creates it's good in places such as China. This makes everyone happy. =) Your turn. ^.^
