Meat, dairy, and eggs should be banned worldwide.

Meat- Banning meat will result in the fact that people will end up not getting enough proteins, and because of this, our cells wouldn't be able to repair themselves, and we wouldn't be able to grow. Eggs- Same as meat ^^^ Dairy Food- Banning dairy foods will result in the fact that people will have weak bones and teeth. In conclusion to my first argument, I highly doubt that humans not being able to heal from injuries, grow, and gain strong bones/teeth will result in us being "happy".
Meat, dairy, and eggs should be banned worldwide.

Pro has used "vegan diet is healthier" tactics in nearly all of his rebuttals, but then again comes one of my first arguments, which was: "Vegan diets also recommend that people shun added sugar, refined carbohydrates, vegetable oils and trans fats. This is probably the reason for any health benefits, not the removal of unprocessed animal foods." Thank you for this debate.
impossible was possible

So if i believe that i can go faster than the speed of light, or that i can travel back in time, it is now all "possible"? When these ideas have already been impossible? Anyone can believe whatever they want, It doesn't change proven facts and laws of physics and our universe. There are only two circumstances where your idea is applicable: 1: Belief in something that is unfalsifiable (cannot be proven or disproven) such as religion will make it possible (as you cannot prove against it) Change of subjective belief that you YOU view something that was already possible as being attainable (e.g a person believing they can lose weight hasn't changed impossible into possible, they've changed their perspective on already achievable outcomes) However, your arguing a very broad case, and as such, it is wrong to assume that because i believe something will occur, it will (as mentioned in the start, breaking the law of physics)
Should social media be allowed in school

First of all media should be allowed because of many reasons. One reason is to play Fortnite, Fortnite is a online game in which you can play with your friends on a co-op made in Save The World or a Battle Royale version. In the Battle Royale version it is a FFA (Free For All) the last one standing wins the game. There are also three modes in the Battle Royale version, Solo (so you can play on your own), Duo (play with a friend), or Squad (you and up to three players).

IVF Debate

Some ethical issues with IVF are the freezing of embryos and eggs to preserve them. Also the donation of sperm and eggs is an ethical issue. ("Result Filters." National Center for Biotechnology Information. U.S. National Library of Medicine, n.d. Web. 29 Apr. 2016.) People also believe that it's unethical because we are designing a person. We are practically making a clone. We can decide what their hair color, eye color, and any other trait you'd like to have a say in is. Also they put multiple embryos into a woman to increase the chances of success. The ones that don't succeed die. Depending on the person, as soon as the egg and sperm are together, life starts. So it raises the ethical question that IVF is practically killing babies, depending on when you think life starts. People also think that it's going to become a normal thing in the future to just go online and buy the kid you want. That raises the question that, what kind of world is it if you can go online and buy your kid, because of as of now, you can go online and buy the embryo or egg you want with the traits that that egg or embryo holds. ("IVF and the Ethical Dilemmas of Infertility." Anotherthink. Charlie, 10 Nov. 2007. Web. 29 Apr. 2016.)
IVF Debate

Mini-IVF, which is a new and dramatically lower cost option but with comparable results. Mini-IVF chooses only a few high quality eggs, reducing the number of injections, cost of medication, and avoiding hyper stimulation; also, mini-IVF has achieved high quality embryos and lead to pregnancies rather than conventional IVF. Along with taking the hormone, Clomid, not only 5 days but until the follicles show they are ready for ovulation increases a lower number of eggs that are still better quality(Silber, Sherman J. "Mini-IVF- The Infertility Center of St Louis." The Infertility Center of St Louis. Web. 29 Apr. 2016.). Since IVF uses better quality embryos it therefore doesn't need as many transferred, which decreases the chance of multiple pregnancy. Lastly, Mini-IVF is able to freeze the embryos with impunity which doesn't harm them and can transfer them later in the cycle when the uterus lining is more synchronized to the stage of embryo development than during a stimulated cycle which decrease the risk of Ectopic Pregnancy (Silber, Sherman J. "Mini-IVF- The Infertility Center of St Louis." The Infertility of St Louis. Web. 29 Apr. 2016.)
IVF Debate

Some cons against IVF are: Ectopic Pregnancy- Pregnancy occurs outside the uterus. Cost- Since IVF isn"t 100% successful, many couples have to come back for multiple cycles driving up the cost. The average success rate is 25-30%. Ovarian Hyperstimulation syndrome- Ovaries are stimulated to produce more than 1 high quality egg and the hormones and drugs used to stimulate the egg can have side effects leading to the condition. Multiple Births- Doctors put more than one egg inside a woman to make the success rate higher and sometimes they all develop and none of the eggs die. ("Quora" April 27th, 2016) Also IVF can take a very emotional and psychological toll on a person. They can be put under a lot of stress and be very emotional. The person going through IVF goes through pain as well from the drugs and hormones used on them. There's also evidence that shows that high oestrogen levels associated with high stimulation IVF can cause prematurity of birth and low birth weight. People can also be question the ethical side of IVF. They wonder if it's right to make a clone for a person. ("Createhealth" April 27th, 2016)
IVF Debate

Some basic benefits for Virto Fertilization is that for couples who can't conceive naturally, can actually have a child and will be able to have a this experience. 1 in 6 couples are unable to conceive due to non-diagnosed fertility problems (Christensen April 27th, 2016). Along with non-diagnosed fertility problems there is blocked Fallopian tubes, older patients with low ovarian reserve, male infertility, endometriosis, and premature ovarian failure (The Advantages and Disadvantages of IVF April 27th, 2016). These all stop a couple from being able to conceive but IVF revives the hope of those who go through these problems. 61,740 babies were able to born in 2012 due IVF and through the years more couples have been blessed ("IVF Statistics Revealed" April 27th, 2016).
IVF Debate

Some issues with the ownership of eggs is confusing. If the couple donates the embryos to science, it will belong to whatever branch of science they gave it to. They can donate the embryos to other couples, and then it becomes their embryo. They can put the embryo in storage until they decide what to do with it when the are positive they want to do that with the excess embryos. The only problem with storage is that people move, get divorces, and just ignore the storage. This leaves these clinics not knowing what to do if the clients just leave without warning because they are stuck with the embryos and don't know what to do with them, because it's different for each person. Also when couples get divorces they might want the embryos. This actually happened to a Houston couple after filing for a divorce. A couple fought over the custody of the embryos for five years. The wife wanted more kids, but the husband didn't want her having hos kids if they were getting a divorce. In the end the guy won the case, but it shows how much some of these people want these things. ("What Happens to Extra Embryos after IVF?" CNN. Cable News Network, n.d. Web. 29 Apr. 2016.) Other questions involving courts decisions on who should get the embryos are Davis v. Davis, Kass v. Kass, A.Z. v. B.Z., Cahill v. Cahill, J.B. v. M.B., and Litowitz v. Litowitz. All these cases were couples getting divorces an deciding who gets the embryos and what to do with them. ("Divorce Source: RECENT CASE LAW ON DIVISION OF FROZEN EMBRYOS IN DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS." Divorce Source: RECENT CASE LAW ON DIVISION OF FROZEN EMBRYOS IN DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS. N.p., n.d. Web. 30 Apr. 2016.) In general the ownership of embryos is very bad and grey area to get into with couples, because it gets people usually into court. If the embryos are getting donated it's much easier to solve that and get that done and over with. It's a little harder when embryos are stuck in storage with people who just abandoned them, because the clinic doesn't know what to do with them.
IVF Debate

Multiple pregnancy is a chance with stimulated pregnancy but to get rid of those chances or minimizing you could do the alternative options of either Mini IVF which stimulates few eggs or Natural Cycle IVF which eliminates the chance of multiple pregnancy since you only use one egg through the menstrual cycle. As there is a 20-30% chance of multiple pregnancy but couples who want a higher chance of getting pregnant the first time usually pick this option ("The advantages and disadvantages of IVF" 27 Apr. 2016). Today it shows that the transferring of multiple embryos has decreased and doctors prefer single baby birth to avoid multiple pregnancy. (Christensen 27 Apr. 2016.) Altogether whether it be Natural Cycle IVF, Mini IVF or traditional IVF, you are somehow stimulate/make your ovaries or hormones respond when they aren't naturally and manipulating an egg in a petri dish with sperm to create life and than later insert it back into the mother's Fallopian tubes or uterus to impregnate her. Yet, for women under 35 there is already a 46% chance getting pregnant with IVF showing that IVF isn't a wild option ("IVF Statistics Revealed." 27 Apr. 2016). 62 years ago, the first baby was conceived through frozen sperm and since then numerous technological and scientific advancements have occurred causing an array of options for couples (Stetka. "8 Major Fertility Breakthroughts." Medscape Log in. Web. 27 Apr. 2016) . IVF is an extensive process that has it's what ifs as everything does; but, results in a family being formed, which wouldn't have happened without the help of IVF.
IVF Debate

Issues regarding multiple births in IVF is that it's the highest risk factor when resorting to IVF is multiple births. This makes the danger complications high for the mother because she could have a late miscarriage, high blood pressure and pre-eclampsia. ("Multiple Births after IVF - HFEA." Multiple Births after IVF - HFEA. N.p., n.d. Web. 29 Apr. 2016.) Also the parents may not want multiple kids. They may want only one or two kids, but since IVF is so low on the success rate the doctor puts multiple embryos inside of them because they want the success rate to be higher. When you do that though it can cause multiple births and a couple may not want that and it could be very dangerous to the person having the baby. More kids also means more expenses, drives up prices of everything you do. ("The Advantages and Disadvantages of IVF." The UK's Pioneering Fertility Clinics. N.p., n.d. Web. 29 Apr. 2016.) If you don't chose your fertility doctor carefully you can suffer from multiple births. IVF is the top cause for multiple births. ("Avoiding Multiple Births in IVF." - RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association. N.p., n.d. Web. 29 Apr. 2016.) Other risks that can come of this are low birth weight and infant health problems. This originates all from multiple embryos becoming fetuses in a woman and them having an unexpected multiple pregnancy. ("Infertility Ethics." News-Medical.net. News-Medical, 18 May 2010. Web. 29 Apr. 2016.)
IVF Debate

One way to avoid all together freezing embryos would be Natural Cycle IVF which doesn't require stimulating multiple eggs and instead you use only one ("Stimulated IVF vs Natural Cycle IVF." Shady Grove Fertility. Web. 29 Apr. 2016.). If a couple wanted to go through stimulated IVF then there is the option of freezing them as eggs instead of embryos when they aren't life yet so it doesn't run into the ethical issue of freezing a "living" person ("The advantages and disadvantages of IVF." 27 Apr. 2016). There is a cost that comes with, which is about 800 a year but it saves you later down the road just in case a cycle isn't successful (Beltsos, Dr. Angeline. "10 Realities of Freezing Your Eggs: What Women Need to Know." The Huffington Post. 2014. Web. 29 Apr. 2016). If a couple decides to donate their eggs, it allows a couple that isn't able to conceive to have the experience they did when they aren't able to themselves. In 2013 of the 63,286 babies born, 15% were born through donated eggs; therefore, donated eggs play a part in IVF and aren't a small fraction. Lastly, for women who are older and their eggs aren't able to be fertilized, originally they had a 4.5% chance of getting pregnant but with fresh eggs their chances increase to 49.6% ( Klein, Amy. "Why Are Donor Eggs Almost Taboo among Fertility Options." Aoen. 6 Aug. 2015. Web. 29 Apr. 2016.). Making a decision regarding excess eggs or embryos is a usual stress factor for couple which comes for every couple and eventually is up to them. Embryos and eggs have been treated as property but it isn't common and is a part of IVF since you can't predict what a couple will go through. Few couples if any decide to kill the eggs because they become attached but doing other options is stressful but is always in the end up to the couple.
IVF Debate

Many excess embryos are stored and froze after culturing. Problems surrounding this are that it is very expensive to store these embryos. It cost about 2,000 dollars a year to store the embryos. Also the eggs don't really go anywhere unless the couple says to move them. The embryos can also be destroyed. ("A Surplus of Embryos." 60 Minutes. Daniel Schorn, n.d. Web. 29 Apr. 2016.) Many of the embryos frozen sit there until the parent(s) decide what to do with the excess embryo. They can decide to have another baby or donate them but until that is decided they just sit there. Another way is just practically killing the embryo. They plant it in a person and just kill the thing, which goes back to the question if that is ethical or not because we don't know when people consider a person a person. Another thing that happens is life. People fight, divorce, move and in general leave this clinics with these embryos and they don't know what to do with them. Know the responsibility is on the clinics shoulders and they have to decide what they want to do because a couple decided to just leave the embryos without paying or telling the clinic or anything in general of that matter. ("What Happens to Extra Embryos after IVF?" CNN. Cable News Network, n.d. Web. 29 Apr. 2016.) That brings another ethical issue up that the people creating these embryos have to create way more because the success rate is so low. So they have to create all these extras and then couples are stuck with them. If they are stuck with them they have to pay for storage until they decide what they want to do. So IVF is unpredictable and very expensive and can be unethical. ("What Advantages and Disadvantages Are There to in Vitro Fertilization?" - Quora. N.p., n.d. Web. 29 Apr. 2016.)
IVF Debate

As there are religious groups and pro-life people who have arguments pertaining to the ethical side, they are missing all the advantages. To help make the groups be more comfortable there is an alternative option which is Natural Cycle IVF. In Natural Cycle IVF, no medication is used so the cycle can only produce one mature egg at a time during menstruation instead of using multiple eggs so no embryos/lives will be "thrown away" ("Stimulated IVF vs Natural Cycle IVF." Stimulated vs Natural Cycle IVF| Shady Grove Fertility. Web. 29 Apr. 2016.). This then won't allow people to clone or pick the traits they want like on a catalog. If someone wants to go through with stimulated IVF, instead of donating the eggs they offer freezing them so they won't be fertilized and technically aren't life then yet ("The advantages and disadvantages of IVF." 27 Apr. 2016). Many people overlook one big advantage IVF displays with genetic screening of embryos with PGS and PGD. Pre-implantation genetic diagnose (PGD) allows scientist to check for certain genetic disorders like Huntington Disease to make sure the child conceived wont suffer. Pre-implantation genetic screening allows scientist to check the chromosomes of the embryo for any chromosomal disorders ("The advantages and disadvantages of IVF." 27 Apr. 2016). This further allows scientist to look at embryos for research to see ways to prevent these genetic and chromosomal disorders if the embryos are donated to research.
Education should be free for everyone

In your question "how will we improve medicine, policy and other industries if we can't study at specialized places because of high cost?" -> That is why the government gives smart and hard-working students the opportunity to study in specialized places, schools or universities for free. But for the lazy students that are enrolled to private schools, they will still pay for their tuition fees. Like in the Philippines the Public Science high schools gives a high quality of education for free. The students gets hand outs in laboratories and etc... (The local government would even give the students allowance.) So free education for all will not always make a country/nation economy or technology rise up, because some students are too lazy and less productive. That will only waste some of the governments money.
Education should be free for everyone

I agree, corruption is a major issue in this case, especially in my country, Kazakhstan. Billions and billions dollar every year are stolen from state treasury. But it is another issue and off course, government still have to finance other industries except education. but it doesn't mean that government will take money asgd for pencion or hospitals or something else and send them for education. Government at first should think about his nation and what nation will be if we can't even go to univercities we wan't study at? what future expects this country? how will we improve medicine, policy and other industries if we can't study at specialized places because of high cost?
Education should be free for everyone

By your statements, I agree that education can be free for everyone, but for a "limited time" only. For if the government will reserve all its funds for education for all the students in a country that would count to millions of chair, table and etc... -That will surely cost millions, or even billions of money. Then where will the government have the money to spend for -> Protection (Police, National Defense, Fireguards) -> Pension (Old age & Sickness) -> Health care -> Other Spending (Waste management, sports, and leisure) -> Let's even add the corrupted people in the government that steals money from the it. Then how will our country rise up if some of its needs is not fulfilled because of lack of funds due to reserving it all for education? If there is lack of protection then there will be many crime events. Can you think of a country with schools that has free school tuition fees but without protection (no police, no national defense). That is why the government funds is divided to many spending. That shows why the government won't make education free for all. -by the way I'm just a 13 yr. old don't use too much deep vocabularies. (PLEASE :)
Education should be free for everyone

Thank you for your opinion, I see your point of view. But let's take into consideration public schools that financed by government and money for salaries for the teachers, repair and new furnishing they get from state. It proves that education can and SHOULD be free. From my point of view, it's unfair to gauge the amount of knowledge with a person purse, and not even his, with his parents money. we can't get a good job with high salary without a diploma. so, everyone should have a chance to get quality education.
Education should be free for everyone

My friend, Education shouldn't be free for everyone and "COULDN'T" be free for everyone. Let us assume that education is free for everyone, then where would you get the funds needed---- - In Buying seats, tables, blackboards, or whiteboards? It would be unfair for the students to seat on the classroom floor (isn't it?). - In giving the proper salary rate for the teachers and school-guards? Without the proper salary rate, teacher wouldn't work harder... and it might also make other people think that choosing the teaching job would be a bad idea because of the low salary. --->So that shows that education couldn't be free for everyone.
Education should be free for everyone

From ancient time education was inseparable part of human development. If our ancestries sat in front of stones and wrote with sticks and now we are sitting in classes with hi-tech equipment we still have the same aim-to get knowledge for future life. Education is a guarantee for successful work and well-paid job. We pay a huge amount of money to our universities and it increases from year to year. Government should give a chance for everyone to take attainments and stable tomorrow. If not, the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer.
The US should continue to support Israel

Notwithstanding the overburdening of U. S politics with Judaism. And notwithstanding the fact that antisemitism is a misused and overused, Post-holocaust soundbite. Anti-Palestine is as much a racial bias as is antisemitism. And U. S. Economic support is mutually beneficial to those that it is mutually beneficial to. And U. S. Morality is as selective as everyone else's. And we regard opinion that suits us and disregard opinion that doesn't. And Con attempts only to be a realist. Attempting to point out the underlying realities that Pro and their acolytes disregard with impunity. And one man's homeland is another man's homeland. Just as the Jewish American's homeland is the Native American's homeland. And capitalism is as capitalism does. And U. S. Foreign policy is what U. S. Foreign policy makers do. And straw man fallacy is a misused and overused debating soundbite. And the worship of the Billion Dollar God exceeds all rationality. Simply means what it says and I shouldn't have to spell it out to Pro. And the source of all arguments is fundamentally the same. It's just varies from person to person depending upon how they were brainwashed. Maybe conditioned is a better word. Fundamentally the same word but definition just varies from person to person depending upon how they were programmed. And all words are a jumble if one does not possess the ability to un-jumble them.
