Biphasic should replace Monophasic Defibrillators

Good luck to my opponent. I thank my opponent for starting this debate, and I thank all of you for taking the time to read this. I negate; biphasic defibrillators should NOT replace monophasic defibrillators. ==== Resolutional Analysis: For the statement "Biphasic should replace Monophasic Defibrillators" to be true, replacing monophasic defibrillators must be the best thing to do. For example [remember, this is a hypothetical, I am not claiming this example case to be true], let's say defibrillators were not useful at all - that both monophasic and biphasic were solely harmful to use, but biphasic were less harmful. The statement "Biphasic should replace Monophasic Defibrillators" would not be true, since it would make much more sense to simply stop using them at all. Replacing the monophasic with biphasic would be unnecessary, since there would be a better alternative - not using them at all. Further, I accept my opponents definitions. ==== Note that I will often shorten 'xphasic defibrillators' into 'xphasics,' where x is either mono, bi, or tri. This is for ease of reading as well as ease of typing. ==== Nonresolutional advocacy With the right phase durations, triphasic defibrillators are currently optimal for both effective defibrillation and lessening the risk of damage. For largely the same reasons biphasics are superior to monophasics, triphasics are superior to biphasics. Thus, by the very logic my opponent applies in round 1, monophasics should be replaced with triphasics, as should biphasics. Replacing monophasics with biphasics would simply add another unnecessary step to the process, since the biphasics should also be replaced with triphasics. Source: http://www.circ.ahajournals.org... [Journal article from the American Heart Association.] So rather than replacing monophasics with biphasics, I am advocating replacing both monophasics and biphasics with triphasics. Thus, the resolution is negated. ==== Other support One more piece of relevant information, also from the source listed above: "Most defibrillators that can deliver a biphasic waveform already contain the switches and other hardware necessary for delivery of a triphasic waveform. Therefore, slight alteration of the software in the defibrillator to switch the waveform a second time to deliver the third phase is the main change required for delivery of a triphasic shock." Thus, it is extremely easy to convert most biphasics into triphasics. While my opponent is suggesting replacing monophasics with biphasics despite the hardware changes necessary, a good part of my advocacy [biphasics->triphasics] does not rely on such costly hardware changes.
Biphasic should replace Monophasic Defibrillators

My position is that biphasic defibrillators are more beneficial to the patient, are more efficient, and provide more reliable technology than do monophasic defibrillators. Definitions Biphasic: having two distinct phases, as in a waveform Monophasic: consisting of one phase in a waveform Biphasic defibrillation has been proven to cardiovert a patient from ventricular fibrillation at higher rates at lower dosages than monophasic defibrillation. Biphasic defibrillation at 120J-200J is as efficient and effective, if not more, than monophasic defibrillation at 360J. http://www.chestjournal.org... American Heart Association

Double Names are Ridiculous

I don't think double names are stupid. In America, the ability to name a kid whatever you want is unrestricted. To force somebody to name a baby something is to violate free speech. A baby can have as many names or surnames as they want. Robert Ripley, in his original edition of Ripley's Believe it or Not, mentions one baby who got 26 names from her parents, one name for each letter of the alphabet. http://www.geneamusings.com... And her parents should be able to do that if they want. Babies can be named anything. Middle names, in addition, are a common practice, and most people have three initials. There is nothing wrong with double names. I don't have a double name. Frankfurter is one word. It has synonyms like sausage and hot dog. Ever hear of it? They sell them at Coney Island. If people want to call you Mr. Lenin, they can. If they want to call you Mr. Hard Nose Jacob, they should be able to. Names are fluid like that. They're never set in stone. I'm glad you're not being a garbage filled racist anymore, yeah.
Double Names are Ridiculous

Have you ever heard of a double name? http://www.sheknows.com... They go like Anna Claire or James Michael, and they are, in my opinion, just too stupid. See, I have exactly one first name, Ice. I have exactly one last name, Bear. People just call me Ice. At the school where I teach, my students call me Mr. Bear (but some might call me Mr. Lenin) You have a double name. Frank Furter. Vote pro. I hope you notice that my debates do not attack blacks or Indians anymore.
Science and Islam

Closing comments Unfortunately Con gave up. I've refuted all his arguments, and he has not replied to most of my points. Here's a summary: I have proved that the setting of the sun is a common phrase, from a normal person's PoV, and likely to be referring to the time of sunset. Con also has no direct rebuttal to my statement that the Quran distinguishes between the orbits of the sun and the moon, and other celestial bodies (such as stars). None of this is an error. Con has not responded to my argument that the Quran correctly refers to creation being in pairs. I've quoted a scientist who clearly explained what the verse means, as well as stating that things simply do come in opposites, such as dark/light, etc. No rebuttal here. Con made no rebuttal to my argument that the meaning of the verse regarding the fluid we are created from isn't related to sperm. We're made of water. In fact, all animals are, as the Quran precisely states. Thus, the fluid we are created from that emits from between the backbone and the ribs could possibly be water, since the blood that is pumped consists mainly from water. Even blood alone suffices; We obviously consist of blood, and mothers feed their fetuses with their own blood. Read my other arguments for more on this. The resolution is affirmed.
The death penaltys cruel and unusual punishment

Since I started the debate, it is only fair to let my opponent have the last word, so I will not rebut his final statement. I will leave it to the voters to decide whether or not his reasoning is sound; therefore, my previous argument will be my closing statement. I firmly believe that I have presented sound arguments for why the death penalty is not in fact cruel and unusual, and knocked down all of my opponents counter arguments. Therefore I leave it to the voters to decide if I have done an sufficient job of proving that the death penalty does not qualify as a cruel or unusual punishment.References:https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com...http://criminal.findlaw.com...https://www.merriam-webster.com...
The death penaltys cruel and unusual punishment

Hello, Justice Brennan wrote, "There are, then, four principles by which we may determine whether a particular punishment is 'cruel and unusual'." The "essential predicate" is "that a punishment must not by its severity be degrading to human dignity," especially torture. "A severe punishment that is obviously inflicted in wholly arbitrary fashion." (Furman v. Georgia temporarily suspended capital punishment for this reason.) "A severe punishment that is clearly and totally rejected throughout society." "A severe punishment that is patently unnecessary." So I thoroughly reject your definition of cruel and unusual. All definitions have to do with acceptance throughout society, except for yours. My arguments about these other countries which attack human rights that do this is to show that how could you comfortably be in the same category as them. Which we are according to amnesty International we should not... I don't think that is a hard think to understand... So that point is valid, and please address it instead of ignoring it. Next, on Death Row inmates are in isolation 23 hours a day, they do not see other inmates. I don't know why you are talking about other inmates when they don't even get to see the light of day. Also, a punishment starts at sentencing. Just like how a ten year sentence starts at sentencing. It's the same, and who cares if psychological torment isn't the intent, it happens!! You are ignoring that part of the argument, and I would like to point that out to everyone reading.. just because I don't mean to do something, doesn't mean I am allowed to do the same thing. Just because I hit a car even though I was following all of the laws, and it was on accident I still have to pay for damages. Another definition of Cruel and Unusual punishment: There are generally tests that can serve as a guide to what cruel and unusual punishment is according to various legal textbooks in accordance with the law. These are: overall acceptance in society: This is what I was talking about in Europe which has prevalence. And also how no first world country has this practice which you have not yet addressed severity (the punishment fits the crime):, and if the punishment is arbitrary. The US is also violating Gates V Cook: In (2004 In Gates, the court found conditions of confinement to be unconstitutional because inmates were subject to filthy conditions, including pest infestation; improper sanitary conditions and plumbing; and inadequate mental health care. I believe 23 hours confined would be inadequate health care... This would classify as cruel and unusual punishment. Also, please back up your argument with sources , and thanks for the great debate. https://en.wikipedia.org... https://www.law.cornell.edu...
The death penaltys cruel and unusual punishment

I will now counter your arguments.. The death penalty is degrading because the mere fact that the United States government believes it is okay to play God. They make someone wait through a lengthy trial, and wait on average fifteen years from sentencing to execution. 1. Inhumane- In your point you say that modern executions are swift, and so they cannot be considered inhumane. Yet, the penalty of death isn't just a penalty for the time you die, it is a penalty starting right when you are sentenced. The psychological torture that these people are human rights violations. Exonerated Death Row inmates have said that they have seen inmates smear feces on the walls, and have delusions because they are constantly counting down the days until they die. 2 Also, stays of executions are granted so often that the last week of life is considered to be pure hell. Not knowing whether or not you are at deaths door could break the meanest mans psychological state. Too- Severe the United States has the fifth most executions in the world 3.... The only countries above the United States is China, Iran, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. All of these countries are known human rights abusers and yet we are in the same category as them on this issue. We are the only one of only four first world countries in the world to practice this insane form of punishment, and they next leading country of those is Japan with 2 last year.4 And we are one one of the only western countries to keep this practice going. To end.. Do we rape the rapists? Do we burn the arsonists? Do we steal from the thieves? Then how come we are murdering the murderers? 1. https://journalistsresource.org... 2.https://io9.gizmodo.com... 3 http://www.businessinsider.com... 4.https://en.wikipedia.org...
The death penaltys cruel and unusual punishment

I accept, and I will defend the position that the death penalty is not cruel and unusual.Defining TermsCruel and unusual punishment:A sentence which degrades the person convicted, is obviously inhumane, or is too severe for the crime, can be regarded as cruel or unusual. If you do not agree with this definition, then we should work out a new definition in the comments; however, I think that this is a pretty good start.What about the death penalty?So what it comes down to is whether or not the death penalty qualifies as degrading, inhumane, or overly severe.-Degrading:When a person sentenced is executed, it is done swiftly. Modern capital punishment does not showcase the convict to the public as it has in the past i.e. crucifixion, burning at the stake, or hangings. In fact it is carried out swiftly, and solemnly. Since they are not mocked or humiliated, I think it is safe to say that it does not degrade the individual.-Inhumane:Modern executions are swift, and are intended to bring as little pain to the convict as possible, and as a result, it is humane.-Too severe:This only leaves the question of whether or not the punishment is to severe for the crime; But, the question of this debate would more closely resemble: Is the death penalty too severe for any crime? I believe the answer to be no. Simply put, if a person deprives another person of their basic human rights, then capital punishment is the only punishment that fits the crime. Anything else, and the crime is worse than the punishment. Now don't get me wrong. I am not currently arguing that depriving a criminal of their natural rights is justified; A'll I am doing is showing that it is not too severe for the crimes which warrant it.In the end, the death penalty is not degrading, inhumane, or too severe for the crimes; consequently, it is not a cruel or unusual punishment.
The Old Testament was written by non-Christians for non-Christians

Thank you Con for your honesty. And again, thank you for addressing all three points in a serious manner. But I would like for you to look at your response to 'There are no Christians found anywhere in the Old Testament'- Even if I were to agree with everything that you wrote before and after the 'no Christians' part you and I would just be agreeing with my opening which is that the Old Testament did not lead anyone to Christ or else there would have been at least one Christian in the Old Testament, (which you have agreed with me that there are no Christians in the Old Testament). Therefore- Points 1 and 2 are mine- 1 The Old Testament does not lead to Christ 2 There are no Christians found anywhere in the Old Testament. Now the only thing left for me is to prove that the God/LORD/Lord/Jehovah/War God/etc of the OT has no redeeming qualities whatsoever then "it is finished".
The Old Testament was written by non-Christians for non-Christians

Pro rebuttal: No one in the New Testament was ever led to Christ by the Old Testament. Pro final argument: Jesus of Nazareth is Christ. Jesus who is the giver of all life said it twice- All those who did eat manna in the wilderness are dead. That means that Jehovah of the OT did take those people out to the desert with every intention of killing them. And he did.
It's not worth having children

All my opponent's arguments can be refuted by the irrefutable scientifical fact that parents and humans in general enjoy pain and suffering: http://en.m.wikipedia.org... And if one enjoys pain, where's the fun in not getting pregnant and having miserable kids and overpopulating the world? After all, the best part is that you get to watch it all happen to your masochistic kids one day. They're happy because they're suffering, you're happy because they're suffering, therefore, children bring happiness. Peace out.
It's not worth having children

There are over 8 billion people on the planet. Even if 2/3 of them don't have kids, the human race will not die out.We are actually putting the human race at risk by overpopulating the planet. " I'm sure there's plenty of masochistic parents out there. Why else would they have children in the first place other than to continue our existence?"I'd say most people who have kids, so so because they want to appear "normal". Either that, or that have a big ego. I doubt anybody enjoys the grief, the stress, the loss of sleep, the constant pressure and the financial burden of being a parent. We can experience the pleasure of "knocking each other up" without having to have children. There is such a thing as birth control. Seriously...kids are not worth it!
