Stem Cell Therapy

Ian Muraghan BSc, Msc, says that stem cells can be used to test new medical drugs. Instead of using animals or humans, they use stem cells in labs to and apply them to the medications to check for defaults or tumor causing side effects. On the point of tumors, they can be tested to see if they can cause tumors as well. Ian Muraghan also says that they can produce "very accurate results for future use".
Stem Cell Therapy

However, this type of therapy can lead to tumors and other complications( as mentioned before). Health research funding explains how embryonic stem cell research works. It then goes on to explain how an embryo is destroyed by this type of research. The author argues that our perception of when an organism is a life worth protecting is skewed among person to person. Some believe that the embryos in question are lives that should not be killed. In this particular field of stem cell research, there has been no new advancements since the 1980's. Research has not been halted since the eighties. Thousands of embryos have been pointlessly destroyed for no scientific advancements. Decades of additional experiments have happened and decades worth of possible lives have been sacrificed for nothing.
Stem Cell Therapy

That is a valid point. Some people do not want to live for hundreds of years. Some may... M.E. Furph says that the prolong life procedure can only be an example. They can take old cells, and replace them with better cells that have more insulin for diabetes patients. Scientists have also discovered another use for stem cell therapy. Replacing the damaged Cornea ( damaged as in chemically burned or scratched ). They simply take the Limbal stem cells from the good or undamaged eye, and put in into a petri dish to multiply. Then, they place the multiplied and healthy Limbal stem cells into the damaged eye to repair eye sight. www.eurostemcell.org
The God Hypothesis is a supported Scientific explanation

I expect CON to debate and argue under this context. This means my opponent will have to try and show how my hypothesis does not fit the data. Then, falsify it using the experiments I devised and that I suggested would falsify my hypothesis. I am arguing that the God Hypothesis is a supported scientific explanation for the origins of existence. I adjusted my hypothesis from previous debates to more accurately fit the data. Moreover, since my approach is scientific in nature, the burden of proof is mainly on me. It needs to be five rounds for me to have enough ground to work under so I can adequately respond and address my opponents objections.
I would beat you in a fight.

I will now rebut my opponents arguments . Body Types While I am not a bodybuilder, I'm certainly not obese. Most obese people have a high fat to muscle ratio while I don't. I play such sports as football, basketball, baseball, and wrestling and most obese people are unable or don't play any of these sports. My BMI body fat percentage puts me at 17% which means I'm in the category of fitness. I don't have a slow reaction time my opponents thinks that I will be unable to keep up to his level of reaction and endurance while this is simply not true, in basketball running up and down a court takes a lot of endurance, and in Baseball to be able to get a hit I must have fast reaction time. I do have a longer reach then my opponent does for him to bring me down he will have to enter my personal base area, and in doing so I can punch and hit him while he doesn't have the reach to do so until he gets close. If my opponent does bring me down he will be unable to finish me off because being bigger and stronger than him I can push him off and if I'm able to reverse his move he will be unable to get me off of him. My body type is just as endurable and fast as my opponent, but I am stronger and bigger than him giving me the body type advantage. I don't only train in high altitudes I live in them. I play for my high school football team and every year for about a week or two we have something called Two a days during hell week. We practice a total of 6 hrs a day in temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit and before are two a days we have a 5 week long conditioning of running, lifting, and agility. I that I know how to train hard as well. GPA = IQ When you are in school you are given grades and the higher the grades you get the higher the GPA you will receive. And to do well in school you need to have a high IQ to pass tests get homework done and simply show what you have. The reason I don't put my IQ down is because I have never had a formal IQ test. Like my opponent even stated that the IQ test he took was online which are not very consistent. Like online IQ test I have taken before, but sometimes I'm told I have one 160 other times 120 or 100 you can't trust them. All the hand to hand combat I need comes from sports. All those who have played football you know that it takes a lot of striking when playing football. In baseball being able to catch a ball or get a hit takes the body to have striking movement. I will not let my opponent try to prove me wrong.
I would beat you in a fight.

I will now show the voters how I would win this debate in the following areas. p1) Body Types p2) Environment p3) I.Q. p1) My opponent has given evidence that suggests that shorter and smaller people are pound for pound stronger than larger people. This may be true but it doesn't matter because the larger person has more pounds and by average is stronger. I also have the height advantage which my opponent brought up that is should be an advantage for him this is simply not true. While he might naturally have the leverage all it takes for me to neutralize that is by bending by knees and getting lower to the ground and his advantage goes out the window. With being taller I can attack all parts of his body with ease and most importantly his head which my opponent knows that if you control the head you control the whole body. Most if not all knockouts occur when there is a blow to the head and my opponent being a whole foot shorter will have to strain and work harder to get my head while I can put all my focus on the head. Being taller usually means I have longer arms which means that I have a larger reach than my opponent so while I can hit him he can't. My body type compared to my opponents is superior for fighting. p2) While my opponent and I both have lived in high altitude areas for me its Utah while for him it is Colorado and Scotland. So the environmental conditions are the same the difference is his asthma. If a lot of allergens are in the air my opponent might be overcome by his condition while I have no such condition. I can fight in any condition that a human can live in while my opponent might have trouble in certain areas giving me the advantage. p3) I have a 4.0 GPA while my opponent has a 3.3 GPA. This gives me the advantage because if it comes down to who can outsmart the other corroding to the math I on paper have the advantage Turn it to my opponent.
I would beat you in a fight.

I will assume that weapons are not allowed.Strengths- I'm 6 feet 2 inches tall. I weigh 251 pounds. I am strong (example I can squat 300 pounds), I am quick, I am smart (4.0 in school) I play or have played on either on a school team or a rec league in football, basketball, baseball, and wrestling.Special Factors- I have a high tolerance to pain (examples: I sprained my ankle in football practice and started for my football game the next day, I pulled my hamstrings at the start of the football season and played the whole season, and bruised and strained my rib cage in the first quarter in a football game and played the rest of the game.). I have had training in self defense. I don't have great blood flow which means I don't bleed out if cut.Weaknesses- I'm not a very fast runner. With my bad blood flow I cramp if I work hard and have a long stretch of inactivity.
I would beat you in a fight.

Now this is a debate about who would win in a fight pro or con. A LOT OF RULES FOR THIS SORRY I DON'T WANT TO BUT TROLLS COULD WIN BY MAKING OUTLANDISH CLAIMS. :( Rules: 1. No lying, this is a big one because if someone says I am 7'9 and 500 pounds and run the mile in 2 minutes, then obviously their lying or are a giant version of superman. Neither of which is acceptable ;). To dissuade people from this, any claim that seems outlandish has to be justified extensively. For example, if one REALLY was 7' feet tall they would have to have a picture on DDO of themselves standing next to something similarly tall. Outlandish is defined as impossible or extremely unlikely claims. 2. NO its against the law to fight so I win type scenarios. Con is arguing they would win the fight. This is also assuming that the fight for some reason is legal. 3. NO intentionally fallacious arguments 4. No semantic based arguments, by I, I a mean me, by you, I mean the person accepting this debate, come on don't be a jerk. 5. No I am a girl and you cannot hit a girl type things, as I would not hit a girl in real life and this is a perfectly theoretical fight(same thing goes with age or social status(handicap)) 6. Pro=AFF or Affirmative, Con=NEG or Negative 7.
Abortion

I consider abortion to be one of the most important issues facing our world today. The reason being is because abortion either is the legalized killing of innocent human beings or abortion is not the killing of a human being. There is no in-between. I will stand against abortion in every case with one exception. That one exception is when the mother is guaranteed to die during child birth or if both the fetus and the mother will die during child birth. I argue that abortion is the killing of an innocent human being, the right to life is an inalienable right given to every innocent human being, therefore, abortion, as the direct result of the killing of an innocent human child, violates the inalienable right to life. Thus, abortion is wrong. There are no restrictions to this debate. There is no formal layout other than that my opponent should provide a retort to my main argument in the first round. Feel free to debate however you so choose as long as it remains respectful and courteous.
Abortion

Let me start our concluding round with some points about this debate, my opposition a_janis1, and an off topic remark I made in round two. A__janis1, it is very common for debaters with little history (and no profile picture ;) ) to abandon debates (especially debates with such broad resolutions). It, my remark, was honest, I didn’t expect you to complete the debate – I was wrong. I thank you for the debate, and look forward to more interaction with you. Since no rules were stated for the debate, and con has used his final round for rebuttals, I will not take advantage of the last round for counter rebuttals to be fair. I will rebut the one point that con believes I have not given enough attention to. "If you support the right to "determine the use of my own body" then you are defending human rights. And if you defend human rights, then you must defend the principle human right from which all other human rights stem: The Right to Life. Since you must defend the Right to Life, and since you would support all human beings are created equal, then you would have to defend that all human beings have equal human rights such as the right to life. And because you openly admit a fetus is a living human being, then you have to support the child's inalienable right to life. Thus, abortion is wrong. Boom. I am under no obligation to support what you tell me to support. This concept of body autonomy is simple to understand, and tough to accept. The abortion debate runs on emotion, and I purposely avoided the emotional aspects for the sake of this debate. Con nearly did the impossible, run through a complete abortion debate without saying “murder". Accepting that a fetus/human/person/child can be killed for the potentially selfish motives of another is tough to come to grips with. The facts, harsh as it may sound is, all humans have the right to control their own body. If another being is using a part of your body, you have no obligation to permit it. The government cannot force you to use your own body against your will. The constitution of the United States agrees, the SCOTUS agrees, and consistently better than 50% of the population agrees with this.
Abortion

I will make it super easy for you, as I really thought you wouldn’t return, and just forfeit. I am saying the body autonomy includes the right to kill an interloper within my body.Yup, person, human, anything. If it (he/she person/human) is unwelcome within my body, I have the right to kill it! If I were in Flordia or Texas, many would hold rallys for me killing the trespasser in my body.Right back to you.
Itachi vs Pain

Rebutals ~~~~~~ 1. My opponent stated that Itachi could barely kill Sasuke . This is incorrect since Itachi was weak and was on drugs to survive and battle Sasuke, he wanted Sasuke to believe that he was the one that killed the evil Itachi. (1) 2. My opponent said that Itachi's genjutsu would not work with Pain. This is incorrect since it is said in Narutopedia that Tsukuyomi could only be broken by a sharingan user with the same blood line and since Pain is not of Itachi's blood line, he cannot escape it. (2) Pain also shown to be affected by genjutsu and was not capable to escape Fukasaku and Shima's genjutsu. The 3 Pains would have died if not being rescued by the other Pains. (3) 4. My opponent stated that nowhere in the series has the sharingan been used against 7 extremely powerful opponents. This is incorrect because 1. Madara against 1st Hokage 2. Madara against 4th Hokage 3. Sasuke against Itachi 4. Itachi against Deidera 5. Kakashi against Deidera 6. Kakashi against Pain 7. Kakashi against Kakazu note: You can find these fights in the anime (4)(5) Argument 2 ~~~~~~~~ Another way is using tsukuyomi, Itachi just has to make eye contact with Pain and make him suffer. (2) He can then use amaterasu to burn Pain to ashes. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Good luck to the opponent and I hope he can rebut this.

Itachi vs Pain

I will now tell the location of our fight since we have not done so in our pms. The location is a 100m area of plane grass land with forests around the boundaries. Behind Pain ( all 7 ) is a 75m wide lake and more forest land behind Itachi. We discussed in our pm that both Itachi and Pain were in full health. Nagato is also not concealed Abilities of Itachi Uchiha (2): ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Amaterasu Clone Great Explosion Crow Clone Technique Demonic Illusion: Burning Paper Body Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Dusk Crow Genjutsu Ephemeral Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique Shadow Clone Technique Susanoo Transcription Seal: Amaterasu Tsukuyomi Water Release: Water Fang Bullet Sharingan Mangekyo Sharingan Stats (3) ~~~ Ninjutsu: 5/5 Taijutsu: 4.5/5 Genjutsu: 5/5 Intelligence: 5/5 Strength: 3.5/5 Speed: 5/5 Stamina: 2.5/5 This shows that Itachi is really strong with the only thing letting him down is his strength and stamina but with Itachi's skills, speed and intelligence, he can easily destroy all six paths of Pain and Nagato too. Argument 1 ~~~~~~~ Itachi's speed, intelligence and sharingan skills would allow him to avoid damage from Pain and make or counter strategies too fast for Pain to counter. Itachi's speed is a 5/5 and with his sharingan skills, he can predict Pain's moves easily. (1) This allows Itachi to counter each of Pains attacks. Itachi's sharingan allows him to see the Pain's chakra and counteract it. One Possible way is that Itachi can use his 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique' (2)(4). The fireball would hit it both sides of the Pains and also the front so they can't escape, and then while they are getting ready to counter it, Itachi would speed over to them and attack them while they just countered the 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique'. (2) (4) If this doesn't work, Itachi would make clones to surround the Pains and then aim the Great Fireball Technique at them, we would then jump up and throw multiple shurikens at the Pains. The pains would not expect it since they would be concentrated on the fireballs. And so the shurikens would hit them and injure them. He would then use his clones to use his Clone Great Explosion. (5) Therefore winning the battle. In summary, Itachi's great speed and intelligence allows him to create strategies like the one described above without Nagato having a chance to counter. _________________________________________________________________________________ I thank the opponent for accepting the debate again, and also thank you for having the time to read my second Rd.

Itachi vs Pain

1. so this was the best itachi could do even on life sustaining drugs, I don't think anyone is very impressed by that. 1 this also doesn't answer any of my points. 2. Tsukuyomi could only be broken by a sharingan user. 1well let us consider if he used it, because of the massive chakra it requires, then he could take out maybe 3 paths and then have to end the fight. "since Pain is not of Itachi's blood line"- false read the back ground . http://naruto.wikia.com... (let this also function as my source on pain arguments from round 2) ") Pain also shown to be affected by genjutsu and was not capable to escape Fukasaku and Shima's genjutsu. The 3 Pains would have died if not being rescued by the other Pains" exactly, if pain has been proven to be able to help his path's escape, then how can you prove tskyuomi would be effective? Building up on point 1, all itachi's moves can be intercepted by the preva path. (correct me if I'm wrong) but I beleive he intercepted 3 rasengan, 1 rasenshuriken, and 2 chidori's. I think it can handle 1 amaretsu just extend point 3's points that itachi is weak argument 2 well, no he can't. read his own source and I quote "Such a powerful technique is not without its disadvantages, however. Due to the complexity of the illusion and the quickness with which it is executed, an enormous amount of chakra is necessary and an added amount of stress is placed on the left eye, leaving Itachi's vision to be more darkened". so the tskuyomi would cause a massive drain, also as quoted from amaretsu, it would cause strain on the eyes. itachi may have powerful eyes, but even he cannot hit someone with tskyomi and then kill them with ameretsu, seven times in a row and still be standing. Also, what is to restrain the other pains from attacking at the same time? and also, when has anyone been able to recover quickly from genjuitsu and then just use such a harmful move like amaretsu? . http://naruto.wikia.com... 4. 1. my opponent misunderstands me, I mean that when has the sharingan been used on seven powerful opponents AT ONCE. all his examples were one on one.
Schools should start later.

Thank you, John, for allowing me to participate in this debate. Good luck! In my opinion, school should not start later to encourage punctuality in milennials, to allow students to have more time to complete homework and study, and to allow students to rest and play after school. First off, starting school early teaches students to arrive on time and to be punctual. These skills are useful in college, everyday life, and even the workplace. In fact, when someone is late at work, the employer reserves the right to deduct wages from that person. According to Niall McCarthy, a journalist from forbes.com, a YouGov poll found that "millennials tend to show up late more often than [their] older colleagues. 22 percent of them said they arrive late for work at least once a week compared to just 15 percent of people aged 55 and older". Shockingly, this is proof that up to 22% of millennials may have lower pay as a result of being late to work. However, this trend must change. If we want the next generation to earn as much money as they deserve, and if we want to establish good time management skills among the generations to come, then we should act now. Another reason why school should not start later is that students would have less time to finish their homework and study. Although my opponent claims that "teenagers will have more study time in the evening", assuming that school would end later as a result of later starting times, that would actually decrease the amount of time that students would have to study and do homework. My opponent also claims that "teenagers are more likely to focus at evening times", which may be true, but finishing homework later in the evening may promote procrastination and won't teach students about managing priorities. According to the Los Angeles Times, there is an average of 3.5 hours of homework for a high school student, so starting homework in the evening is a risky practice. In addition, when students finish their homework late at night, they will go to bed later as a result. Finally, school should not start later is because students will not have much time to relax after school or participate in after-school activities. The American Journal of Play states that when students don't have enough time to play or relax after school, there are emotional effects that can take a toll on mental health and emotional health. They can become stressed, lack self-control and even develop anxiety or depression. Aside from the emotional effects, stress (which can be caused by a lack of relaxation/free time) can also affect the body, and according to the Mayo Clinic, stress can cause headaches, fatigue, and sleep problems. As you can see, starting school later would cause a havoc, and effects would range from damaged emotional health, stress over homework, and failure to teach the next generation how to be on time to work or college.
