This House would create genetically engineered super-fruit

Rebuttal I: 'It's not God we're talking about, butfruit.'If one takes the story of the Garden of Eden tohave a deep meaning to it, you could argue that God is a fruit. Therefore thispoint is invalid.Rebuttal II: 'We are not hostile to the people of North Korea.'Technically yes, but given how hostile they are to us, it's necessary toprotect ourselves. [1]Rebuttal III: 'They are starving and need food.'Does this North Korean man look malnourished? Your point is knocked down.[2] Rebuttal IV: 'Do you want to make them afraid to eat an orange...?'The masses of North Korea, in general, cannot afford oranges, as they cost 5000won for just 3. [3] Besides which, oranges are not actually native to Korea,and have to be imported from the USA, so most North Koreans would probablyprefer to starve than eat an American orange, as that would not be patriotic.Rebuttal V: 'Being eaten and then bestowing a vaccine is not a powertraditionally associated with superheroes.'The key word in that sentence is 'traditionally', but the point aboutsuperheroes is that each one is different and their superpowers are oftenunique. Therefore, it would be perfectly possible for the fruit to bestow thevaccine, as it would still be a superpower, just quite a new one. Rebuttal VI: 'Superheroes typically do not cause people to spontaneouslycombust after they've been eaten.'How do you know that? When was the last time you heard of a superhero beingeaten? That would be a pretty lousy superhero, so we've never seen a superherobeing eaten, so we don't know whether or not one would spontaneously combustafter eating a superhero. Given that superheroes are made of pretty explosivestuff, they probably would.Rebuttal VII: 'Do you want yearly terrorist attacks by angry superfruit?'Pro turns this point. On balance, these would be a good thing, because it wouldkeep the security forces alert and give them plenty of practice with regards tohow to deal with something more serious, such as a terrorist attack fromal-Qaeda. If, however, we allow these superfruit to reign free we'reessentially giving ourselves even more regular opportunities to practice how wewould deal with such an incident. I'd rather have non-sentient superfruitlaunching these attacks than something more organised.Rebuttal VIII: 'Why do you hate America?'[4]. Enough said.Substantive IV: Creating flying vegetables is more eco-friendly than usingaeroplanesAt the moment, under this unenlightened world which Con seeks to defend, if Iwish to get my fruit and vegetables from the depths of Zanzibar (for the sakeof argument), I have to get it flown to me. At the moment, air travel isincredibly bad for the environment, as it pollutes the air with noxious gases.So what if we could engineer the fruit to fly itself? That way, I could have myZanzibarian (?) peaches without having to hurt the planet in the process. Thiswould also ensure that we can move food around the world more easily and in amore eco-friendly fashion. At the time when there are famines in Africa andcertain parts of the world are starving, the ability to cleanly, safely andefficiently move fruit around the world would be a good thing. And let'stake this thinking even further: who needs aircraft anyway, when one could rideaboard an oversized flying mango? By allowing the genetic engineering ofsuperfruit, the possibilities are endless.Summary of the Third Speech for the PropositionWe have performed an abortion on our case, so that it is no longer pregnant,and given it a hysterectomy. We've also given it a beautiful new fur coat inthe shape of our fourth substantive.Back to you, Con! [1] http://www.youtube.com... (first YouTube clip) [2] http://leonidpetrov.files.wordpress.com...
