Animal experimetation should be banned around the world

In my opinion your argument is irrelevant to the topic, we're talking about the cruelty of people because of the act that they are using animals for experimentation; we can really say that the experimentation on modern technology is much more expensive than the expenses on the experimentation of animals to make medicines. I am now going to state my facts. --Argument-- If you think human beings are the only living creatures that have benefited from animal testing, then you are mistaken. Heartworm medicine was a product of animal testing and has proved to save the lives of millions of dogs across the globe. Animal research has also provided better understanding of cat nutrition and the reasons behind the long life of cats. Moreover, several other animal drugs available today are the products of animal testing itself. Let us not forget that laws have been developed for the protection of animals, during the process of laboratory testing. However, some scientists break this law as well, just like any other law. Such cruelty has to be definitely punished and cannot be ignored. Nevertheless, it is also important for us to remember that there are several laboratories, in which animal testing is carried out in an ethical manner. Thus, animal testing is not something to be blacklisted completely. What one should be against is unethical animal testing. It is up to us and all individuals belonging to animal organizations and medical research to work hand in hand, and prevent this injustice from happening. We should ensure that animal testing is carried out in a safe, ethical manner causing as little pain and discomfort to the animal as possible. If animal testing was to be outlawed, then there would be very little scope of obtaining vital information necessary to eliminate suffering and premature deaths in both humans and animals.
Animal experimetation should be banned around the world

I have already understood that medicine needs to be tested somehow before it can be used on humans, but with modern techniques is useless to use animals for that. For instance, nowadays scientists can clone an organ and safety test on that. In addition, I agree that animal testing has a big influence in medicine but I am sure that by the modern technologies we will receive the same result. Moreover, if we look so deeper we may see that there are so many millennial generation around the world claim that modern technologies are much more expensive than animal testing. It indeed consumptions of monetary sum to changeover from old techniques to new ones, but eventually it will be deserving choice of reaching a reliable results in a medicine. In fact, people who are against toward animal experimentation including me, we consider that modern technology is one time investment, while with animal testing you should keep paying for it. I have several arguments such as animals need food, shelter and transportation also need a money.

Holocaust isn't an experimentation on humans, the Nazi's committed genocide by killing lots of Jews. Now let's get back to the main reason why we are debating. Thanks to animal testing many lives had been saved because of the medicines that the scientist had created; if it wasn't for animal testing, there wouldn't still be a cure for some diseases that are fatal and deadly. If it wasn't for animal experimentation you wouldn't be thanking the doctors for saving your loved ones life because of illness. Animal testing is an integral part of medical research, without which advancements and breakthroughs regarding treatment of critical diseases cannot be made. Moreover, testing on animals has helped develop vaccines for many life-threatening diseases like Herpes Simplex, Hepatitis B, Polio, rabies, malaria, mumps and virus related to organ transplantation rejection. In addition to this, animal testing has also helped in the refinement of procedures, related to measuring the blood pressure, pacemaker technology and the perfection of the heart and lung disease treatments. You will be surprised to read that the anesthesia, which is used to numb the body during surgery today, was successfully tested on animals first. It was essential to test it on animals, so as to find out the effects on the body. How else could researchers find out more about anesthesia? If you think human beings are the only living creatures that have benefited from animal testing, then you are mistaken. Heartworm medicine was a product of animal testing and has proved to save the lives of millions of dogs across the globe. Animal research has also provided better understanding of cat nutrition and the reasons behind the long life of cats. Moreover, several other animal drugs available today are the products of animal testing itself.

In fact, about one century ago scientists used humans for create something new, I mean Holocoust. Actually, Nazic people used on this experiments Jew people but it is another topic. Well, lets consider our issue which became as a global problem. In my humble opinion, animals suffer from experiments extremely and it is so cruel toward animals. Moreover, activists emphasize that with a modern technologies animal testing is unnecessary because new era in a medicine may get the same results. In fact, doctors state that it is not just to give a mouse a tablet and see what is going to happen. Even scientists break their legs of animals and poison them while they are alive and so on. Thus, it is understandable that animals are victims of cruel life. For instance, paracetamol is helpful medicine for people but it may kill a several types of animals.
tom brady is better than peyton manning

They've both studied their way to the top. "Being around Tom, and I've heard the same thing Jim [Caldwell, Ravens offensive coordinator] said about Peyton, they study more than anybody that I've ever known," Pees said. Since the 1970 merger, Brady is history's best in career winning percentage (.775), and Manning (.696) is third. They are separated only by a guy named Joe Montana. Incredibly, Brady could go 0-16 next season and still have a better percentage than the second-place Montana.Brady was the league's Comeback Player of the Year in 2009 after having the ACL in his left knee shredded the season before.The other major difference in these two careers is postseason play. Brady is 18-7 in playoff games, and Manning is 10-11. Eight of the 13 times Manning has led his team into the postseason, his team lost its first game. The three times they've met in the postseason -- Brady is 2-1 -- the winner has gone on to win the Super Bowl. Three times in fives Super Bowl trips, Brady has won the ultimate game. Manning has one championship ring in two trips. In the minds of many observers, that is the deciding factor in the Brady-Manning debate. Peyton Manning has been to two Super Bowls, Tom Brady to five.The one Peyton won was because of how well the defense played through the playoffs. It will take at least one more Super Bowl ring for Manning to pass Brady in the legacy department.

Highly respected and decorated NFL coach Vince Lombardi was once quoted in saying, "Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication, and respect for authority." Lombardi was completely right. It is because I agree with the criterion Coach Lombardi has laid that I negate the resolution. Peyton Manning has fulfilled the role as quarterback at a superior level over Tom Brady.C1: Pre-NFLWhen you look at pre-NFL levels of play, Peyton Manning is far superior. Considering college play, Peyton Manning was a serious contestant for the Heisman trophy on three occasions;1995(6th), 1996(8th), and 1997(2nd). His stats were also superior.C2: IngenuityPeyton has such better ingenuity and playcalling ability. His capability of audibles and changing a would-be failure into a success is unmatched, even by Tom Brady.C3: StatisticsWhen comparing important stats (such as passing touchdowns in a season and career), Peyton is indubitably on a higher level than Tom.Sources:http://www.sports-reference.com...
Catholicism is more morally admirable than Protestantism

I will conclude first by going over all relevant points briefly once more. FIRST - Consistency My opponent has once again brought up the issue of "consistency" as some sort of badge. He levels the claim that while Protestants decide when it is and when it isn't okay to kill another human being, Catholicism teaches that murder is ALWAYS immoral. As I stated in my previous round, this is simply not true, and moral absolutes like this are dangerous and wrong. Even murder, very arguably the worst thing you can do to someone, is sometimes justified. For instance, it is justified when your own life is in danger, or when the life of another person hangs in the balance. It may also be justified as a punishment for people who take the lives of innocent people, though this is arguable. Protestantism does not teach either specific viewpoint on the death penalty, but it does let people go through a rational though process and arrive at a conclusion from that, rather than just shoving a false "absolute" down people's throats. SECOND - Good works Yes, Catholicism preaches that good works get you into heaven. But how moral are good works when you're being threatened into doing them, threatened with eternal torment if ye do not comply? Once virtuous acts become simple acts of obeying an authority. While the additional good works Catholicism creates are positive, the means are negative and this entire point really comes out as a wash. THIRD - Individualism Individualism itself is a good thing, unless taken to extremes where greed and power wholly outweigh any thought for the welfare of the community. My opponent claims that Protestantism does take individualism to this level, but it does not. Protestantism still teaches charity to its members, and still encourages good works (though not at the edge of sword). Protestantism does NOT teach greed and self-worship as my opponent suggests, and it is not the religion's fault that many of its members prefer individualist economics rather than communal economics. Rather, it is likely that extreme individualists, at certain points in history (during the reformation, for example), were drawn to Protestantism. Protestantism didn't cause these people to become such extreme individualists; it is not the fault of the religion that these people exist. If anything, Protestantism would have made these people's beliefs a bit less Individualist, since even Protestantism preaches doing good for the community, charity, and humility. These are the main points of the debate, my opponent and I agree. I believe I have shown, through these points, that Protestantism is morally superior to Catholicism. Consider too, that even if I have failed to do that and only shown that Catholicism and Protestantism are equal in moral admirability, I have still upheld my side of the resolution, which is "Catholicism is not more morally admirable than Protestantism. "
Catholicism is more morally admirable than Protestantism

I will argue here that Catholicism is more morally admirable than Protestantism, as a whole. In the tenets in which the two differ, Catholicism is more admirable. It is more consistent in its stances, preaches better morals, and its principles have more positive ramifications than those of Protestantism. I will go into more detail in the next rounds. My opponent must debate that Protestantism is more morally admirable than Catholicism. Thank you to whomever accepts this challenge.
Abortion should be legal under certain circumstances

You should thank your islamic teacher for widening your view on abortion. I understand that you now agree with me on first trimester abortion, but what about my other two reasons abortions should legal, rape and when the mothers life is in danger. I would like to see your opinions on them. Ok, I guess I will just strengthen my opinions. 1)When rape occurs. It is not the Women's fault that she got raped and she should still be able to get an abortion after the first trimester. 2) When the mothers life is in danger. We might lose two lives if an abortion doesn't happen here, but of course if the women doesn't want an abortion that is her choice. Hopefully next time there is more to write about.
Abortion should be legal under certain circumstances

I guess you should forget about my comment. So, after a short discussion with my great Islamic teacher, I think I don't have to open my statement widely. I agree with your explanation above. It's only that abortion should not be carried out when the foetus is already 4 months old. This is because the baby's soul have been blown into the foetus within that time. Therefore, I want to conclude that abortion should never be allowed when the foetus has reached 4 months old. I'm sorry if I didn't follow the regulation that you have stated in each round. Plus, if you think that I'm almost-agreeing to your stand, I think you're right. It's just that I added some explanation into it. I don't think it's lowering my dignity that I almost-agree with you. I just realised that I was a bit wrong, so what's the point if I still arguing about it when I know that I'm wrong right? (My teacher taught me that :)). But I didn't totally agree with your stand okay, I'll agree if your stand is Abortion Should Be Legal Under Certain Circumstances but Only When The Foetus Has Reached 4 Months old. I am looking forward for your response. I hope you won't be going to insult me or something like that.
Abortion should be legal under certain circumstances

During the first trimester I feel it is not too late for the women who is carrying the baby to change her mind because it is her who is carrying the baby. Also during the first trimester the fetus isn't fully grown and stands no chance of surviving out side of the womb, therefore it is not a human yet. 2 In the instance of rape. If a woman is raped she shouldn't have to be reminded of it everyday and not have to feel the pain of childbirth. Also having a baby should be a choice and getting raped usually isn't a choice 3 When the mothers life is in danger. If at any time during a pregnancy a doctor decides that child could be deadly for a woman I think an abortion should be an option, because if the woman goes into labor and she dies both lives could be lost and that would be a terrible tragedy. I look forward to your opening statement.
Mimikyu is the best pokemon out of all of them

Mimikyu is the best pokemon ever because it is awesome and cute and great and amazing and has so many things about it that makes it amazing such as its ability and it is definitely one of the most original pokemon that nintendo has ever come up with since the idea of a pokemon disguising itself and the disguise ability being introduced specifically for mimikyu because it fits the pokemon so well. Mimikyu is one of the most thought out characters on the pokemon franchise.
Phronemophobia is a hypocritical fear

I will also try and keep my explanation quick and simple. . http://blog.lib.umn.edu...There are many ways to interpret the mind in relation to consciousness but the most commonly used and simplified explanation, I think, is Freud's iceberg, shown in the link above. Essentially, Freud's iceberg divides the mind into the conscious, the preconscious, and the unconscious. The conscious level of our mind is where thinking occurs, because when we think we are conscious and aware of our thoughts. I think my opponent's argument hinges on the premise that fears are stored in the conscious level of our mind as well. However, most psychologists would agree that this premise is false because a phobia is usually an instinctive reaction we aren't fully aware or in control of (as my opponent explains in his definition, it's irrational), and thus should rightfully lie between the preconscious and unconscious. Many experiments and theories also affirm the idea that phobias are part of the subconscious. This is why, for example, hypnosis is a popular treatment of phobias - because it allows psychiatrists to access a supressed memories as a result of trauma and shame that are buried within the lower layers of our mind. In summation, because phobias are not a conscious reaction, it is not contradictory to have a subconscious fear of conscious thought.
Phronemophobia is a hypocritical fear

My opponent would like me to first put out the definitions of the words thinking, phobia and hypocritical. Phobia- a persistent, irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation that leads to a compelling desire to avoid it. Thinking- thought; judgment, reflection Hypocritical/ Oxymoron- a figure of speech by which a locution produces an incongruous, seemingly self-contradictory effect The phobia that we are talking about is phronemophobia, the fear of thinking. To be quick and sweet, it is an oxymoron or hypocritical because to fear thought you can not fear it without fearing the fear. If you fear something you are in terms "thinking about it" making yourse;f fear your fear, INCEPTION!
Medical Boards is the gates of hell

Just so you know, i have not been incarcerated, http://wiki.answers.com... and you know damn well you have been arrested, for indecent exposure, lude sexual conduct, sexual assualt and drunk in public. And i got that off of http://www.publicdatabase.org... And you know you are lieing, you hate this place more than i do, Just come out and say that i am right. I feel no more need to debate you on this topic. You flammin, Tree huggin, free love givin, anti war protestin, liberal democrat. People like you make me sick. Have a good day maam! *smiles*
Medical Boards is the gates of hell

You are correct Mr. ChevySdyme99, I am a proud tree hugger, but I must with great conviction and pride correct you on your narrow minded assessment of my persona. I am more capitalist than those fellows at Enron, I am for offshore drilling, and the only thing liberal about me is my ability to say "No" after a few Grey Goose Martini's……but I digress from the real issue *smiles* I too, took the liberty to research the word "HeLL" and again I have to say it's a case of you looking at the proverbial glass half empty. Here is what I found: The term hell is cognate to "hole" (cavern) and "hollow". It is a substantive formed from the Anglo-Saxon helan or behelian, "to hide". This verb has the same primitive as the Latin occulere and celare and the Greek kalyptein. Thus by derivation hell denotes a dark and hidden place…. No I ask you to look about and take in your brightly lit "cozy" surroundings and relish the fact that you have been chosen and what some would say "lucky" to work in such an esteem department. Surely not a dark hole or cave as you like to allude to refer to. I can't speak on the size of a jail cell being that I have never been incarcerated, but clearly you have, so all I can say is this, "at least you have a nice spacious desk" where you can set your coffee mug down and cover, also on a good day you can even lay your large head down for a quick power nap to refresh and be energized for the remainder of the afternoon. The room is square shaped and is entered into, the desk are so close to together, with filing cabinets' lining the wall, if you are feeling a hollowness it's the emptiness you have in your soul more likely than not. But all of us "outcast" as you so eloquently dubbed us your counterparts are sadden that you that feel the organizations decision to place you here has been such a travesty to you. I would think bearing the stigma of being a spineless, underhanded, flip flopping democrat would be a bigger albatross to bear around your neck. I will pray for you and in a show of good faith, recommend membership to NRA for you, before your ilk try to vote that out existence next.
Medical Boards is the gates of hell

Well ms. irelandflangan, I would like to say that was a good job and argument for con but, I did extensive research to find a defintion of what "hell" is. http://dictionary.die.net... A place where outcast persons or things are gathered; as: (a) A dungeon or prison; also, in certain running games, a place to which those who are caught are carried for detention. I would like to begin how with the first defintion. A dungeon or a prision, Well, so i would like to show you the simalarities bewteen our work space and the defintion of "hell". 1.) Our cubicals are appoxmently a quarter of the size of a jail cell, and our work space is very simalar to solitary confinement in a prison. We have no windows, you have your food brought too you and agian no contact with anything outside the four walls of our firey pit of molten lava office. So, as you can see are office is quite similar to a prison or a dungeon. I would also like to point out it is the office where outcasts go. My organzation put me here as a punishment for not completing a successful buisness trip, they stick another buisness man with an immune mutation because his buisness doesn't want him around anyone else, then we take the person in the front...well lets just say she is a product of years and years of living in a cave i like to call Minneasota...and honestly who wants work with someone who can't say 'BAG' right? Once again pointing out that this is where outcasts go. And how dare you insult me by calling me a closet democrat...First off i am not even close to a democrat, secondly look at the argument you posted...sounds mighty like, nasty communist scum I debating. You say we are overlooked for awards, accolodes and gradidtude. Sounds much like a job desription of the USSR. No promotion, no benfit to get work done no recongination. Sounds like a great place...if your a communist. Being the captialist i am, i perfer to work hard and get noticed and get more money...but that is just a republican speaking. You tree hugging, anti drilling for more oil in the US, flamming liberal.
Medical Boards is the gates of hell

Well, I think Medical boards is not the gates of hell. Here is why: 1.)What you see as an endless pile of paperwork, is what we of the higher echelon call "job security", if work is never complete, that means there is always a job available for good hard working folks. 2.)Yes our LT is an "acquired" taste with her cankles and bubbalicious booty, and yes the lipstick does frighten most people, the yellow teeth are a great injustice to Naval Dental service, we have to remember that "beauty" is only skin deep, love is only "a light switch away" and "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"……that being said in the orangutan world she is a raving beauty and we should remember that and treat her accordingly. 3.)Again, you need to look at glass as being "half full" instead of half empty……you must be a closet Democratic with your "sad sally sack" way of viewing such a great situation! Every laborious, snail paced second we are here is an honor!! An honor to sit in the bowels of hell and be overlooked for awards and accolade, no respect or gratitude given to the important work we do here. We are eradicating bad karma DUH!! It's not a waste of time to be here, we are making great progress to ensure we don't come back as bugs or worse rodent turds. 4.)This closet you refer to is our home and the lack of air flow is us sharing all of our warm love infused breath with each other and that sauna feel is what I'd call "cozy and inviting".
