Resolved: We would depower all superhumans. (Mr. Infidel's R1 Tourney)

Why, thank you for finally accepting the challenge.C.1: Stranger DangerLike all superhumans, they tend to get into alot of fights with other superhumans. Just look at Spiderman, or X-Men, there is always some sort of fight. When there's a fight, there is danger. When there is danger, people can potentially get hurt. The most likely to get hurt being the fighters themselves.Superheroes tend to lead normal lives when they are not combatting crime. As a result, they have normal friends and family that they care about. Supervillains tend to exploit this weakness and put their loved ones in danger. Let's look at Spiderman. Spiderman really cares about Mary Jane, but he cannot tell her his true identity in the beginning because he doesn't want to put her at risk.Nonetheless, supervillains exploit this weakness and often hold their loved ones hostage to try to get the superhero to submit. In spiderman, pretty much every movie, Mary Jane is in great danger. For simplicity, let's look at Spiderman 3.http://www.youtube.com...Mary Jane is at constant risk of danger. Also, the bystanders and the big bus with all the people in it, are also in danger, as they can easily get hit and be caught in the crossfire. People with superhuman abilities will inevitably use them, for either good or evil. For simplicity, let us assume that 50% of all people with superhuman abilities choose to use them for good, and another 50% choose to use them for evil.These two groups will inevitably clash, as their ideals conflict with each other. There will always be a fight of superhuman proportions. It is also safe to assume that the villains will take hostages (as they are evil) and there will always be bystanders watching the fight. These people are in constant risk, and sooner or later, will be caught in the crossfire and get fatally injured. Furthermore, the police cannot do anything against the supervillains as they have superhuman abilities. Therefore, in this circumstance, the police are useless.Therefore, from this, we can draw the conclusion that when the world has superhumans, innocent people will get hurt, and the police can't do anything about it. Furthermore, it is really likly that the fighters will get mortally wounded as well. There is also no guarantee that the doctors will be able to heal these victims because their wounds were caused by a superhuman (it really depends on the ability the superhuman has). For example, if a superhuman has the ability to turn blood to acid, there is no guarantee that the doctors will fix this problem in time, as they have never seen such a thing before.Therefore, to solve this issue, there is a simple solution. To depower all superhumans. As a result, there will be less violence and no injury caused to innocent people. The world would be a much safer place.C2: ExploitationWhat we must understand, is that these superhumans have special powers that normal humans don't have. As a result, there are always going to be scientists who are power hungry who want to kidnap these people to research them, see what gives them these powers, so that they may obtain these powers for themselves. This happens in many scenarios, the mad scientist who wants to experiment on the superhuman. This practice is not morally or ethically sound, as it is infringing on the victim's (although a superhuman, he still has basic human rights) rights as well as breaking several laws in the process. Sure, we can send SWAT and police teams after the mad scientist, but what we must remember is that this person is a mad scientist. As a mad scientist, he has most definitely ran experiments that were illegal in the past, notifying the police. We can ssume that the police are doing everything in their power to arrest the mad scientist. Because the police have not yet arrested the mad scientist, we shall call him Bob, we can safely assume that they have tried, but without any luck. We can safely assume that the police are unable to arrest Bob, either because they don't know where his hideout is, or because Bob has too strong defenses.We can essentially render the mad scientist useless by using the EMR. Like taking a toy away from a baby, we can use the EMR to depower all superhumans so that Bob cannot conduct any of his evil experiments on them anymore. This means that we are essentially protecting all superhumans from undergoing this inhumane treatment by Bob. No doubt, Bob will get mad and try to take his revenge. Like a baby who just had his toy taken, Bob will try to get more toys, more superhumans anyway, to try to see what happened, see if any other superhuman lost his powers too.But this is where the police come into play now. We would closely monitor all ex-superhumans to waiting for Bob to kidnap one of them. As a result, he would lead the police to his hideout, where the evidence would be found that Bob is breaking laws. He would then be arrested and the world would have one less mad scientist.Afterwards, the mad scientist would lose interest in superhumans because they do not have super powers anymore.Therefore, using the EMR to deactivate all superhuman abilities is a good and moral idea, because we protect the future of all superhumans. No one would ever exploit and experiment on them again.C.4: TemptationHumans are naturally greedy and selfish, and throughout history, we have constantly succumbed to temptation. These superhumans will constantly face temptation as they have supernatural abilities. For example, let's say that Fred can walk through walls.He is a good guy, but will constantly face the temptation of robbing banks, as it is easy for him. Just walk through the wall into the bank vault and walk back. Sooner or later, he will succumb to this temptation, and decide to rob something, because he is short on money. Maybe at first he will start off small, as he is a good guy.But when he isn't caught and sees how easy it is, because of his super abilities, he will escalate and rob bigger and bigger targets. This is the same with all superhumans, more specifically, the benign ones. Again, there is really nothing that can stop these superhumans, for example, from robbing the bank, as there are no security measures to protect against the supernatural.What we must remember is that really, these superhumans cannot be blamed for succumbing to temptation, as it is a natural instinct to take the easy way out. Therefore, as moral human beings, we must save these child superhumans from succumbing to this temptation and growing up to become corrupt and evil in our society. We can also protect others and their surroundings by using the EMR.Therefore, by using the EMR, our world becomes a better place.C.5 EvolutionLike all human traits, they evolve over time to adapt to their surroundings. There is no doubt that these superhuman abilities will also undergo evolution. Evolution is unpredictable. There is no telling what it would be able to accomplish. Let me give you a possible evolutionary trait.After a few years, superhumans may develop a resitance to EMR, from constant use of computers and technology. At this point, the EMR we have would be useless, and even if we wanted to, we would not be able to depower superhumans anymore. Now, say a supervillain also evolved the trait of shooting lasers from his fingertips.We would not be able to capture that villain or depower him. The police would be useless. This villain would be of harm to everyone in the world. Everyone will be at risk, because we decided not to depower superhumans a few years ago. Therefore, we must depower superhumans now before they can evolve and adapt to their surroundings. Maybe in a few years, it would be too late and we would regret not depowering them now.Therefore, it is necessary to depower superhumans to protect the interests of the entire world. As the United Nations, we stand for humanity and safety in our world. We must uphold these values and depower superhumans.
