  • Many argue that the lives of animals may be worthy of some respect, but the value we give on their lives does not count as much as the value we give to human life.
  • lifesaving medical breakthroughs that are the result of animal testing
  • open heart surgery, organ transplants, effective insulin, vaccines for deadly diseases

    Testing on animals brought so much for human health that i should be allowed. Some great rebuttle points we can use.

On Liberty by John Stuart Mill : chapter three - 0 views

  • Among the works of man, which human life is rightly employed in perfecting and beautifying, the first in importance surely is man himself. Supposing it were possible to get houses built, corn grown, battles fought, causes tried, and even churches erected and prayers said, by machinery--by automatons in human form--it would be a considerable loss to exchange for these automatons even the men and women who at present inhabit the more civilized parts of the world, and who assuredly are but starved specimens of what nature can and will produce. Human nature is not a machine to be built after a model, and set to do exactly the work prescribed for it, but a tree, which requires to grow and develop itself on all sides, according to the tendency of the inward forces which make it a living thing.
  •  
    This quote gives an example that goes along the lines of this (my interpretation): if we were able to replace anything that humans are doing, with machinery, and in doing so, increase our efficiency, shouldn't we? Well let me ask you this, isn't that what we're already doing? We let the computers and phones and websites and machines take over our whole lives. It may not be very clear how this relates to our topic, but in my opinion, the author worded it in a way to challenge the reader. He asks the question in a way to make the reader respond "Of course not. Why would we replace ourselves with something like a robot?" before they realize that we have, in fact, partially replaced ourselves with these "robots". I think this is important  because it shows how sometimes, just by hearing the theory of an argument, some people will say that it is wrong wrong wrong, but when actually faced with that problem, they would realize that there may be some exceptions to some moral rules. (argument should be used if they show statistics about more people agreeing that torture should not be used)

Legalize Prostitution - 0 views

  • Laws against prostitution violate Americans' fundamental rights of individual liberty and personal privacy. Thomas Jefferson and other founders of the U.S. envisioned a society where people can live without interference from government, provided they don't harm others

      Si nous vivons dans une société libre, pouquoi la prostitution n'est pas légal? On comprend tous que lorsqu'on rend quelque chose de illégal c'est lorsque se chose cause du mal au société, mais la prostitution ne cause aucun mal à la société donc pourquoi on ne le rends pas légal?

Pro-Testing Group Backs Oxford Animal Research Lab : NPR - 0 views

  • it's so obvious to most people that there are benefits from animal experiments, and those who might speak out, that is people who actually do work in animal research, have, quite rightly, been very worried about whether they were putting themselves and their families at risk.
  • But Stein says despite that, he and others have finally decided they must speak out. He points out that penicillin was first isolated at Oxford, tested on 20 mice in a lab just near his. Vaccines have been developed here too that have saved millions of lives, he says. Oxford scientists are now working on a cure for malaria. All have involved testing on animals.

      Here we can see that Oxford has found medication by testing it on animals which is necessary so that humans can take it as well.

    Here is a very well reliable website. Even though most of the information is not so beneficial for my group (pro), there is still some small examples and points that can help us along the way.

Prostitution - The Canadian Encyclopedia - 1 views

  • Prostitution is generally defined as the practice of providing sexual services for money, but because it requires a buyer and a seller it can more appropriately be defined as the practice of exchanging money for sexual services.

  • Levels of prostitution increased during the FIRST WORLD WAR when there was little employment for women, and decreased during the SECOND WORLD WAR, perhaps as a result of the greater economic opportunities for women in war-related industries.

      ici on dit que les gens vont au prostitution quand il n'y a pas de travail (comme 1iere guerre mondiale) et dans le 2ieme guerre mondiale, il y avait moins car il y avait plus de travail disponible
  • the exchange have always been prohibited. Currently these include: 1) procuring or living on the avails of prostitution; 2) owning, operating, or occupying a bawdy house; 3) all forms of public communication for the purpose of prostitution; 4) knowingly transporting another to a bawdy house; and 5) purchasing sexual services from someone less than 18 years of age.

Scientific Argument Against Animal Testing - 1 views

  • Animals not only react differently than humans to different drugs, vaccines, and experiments, they also react differently from one another. Ignoring this difference has been and continues to be very costly to human health.
  • Thalidomide tragedy of the 1960s and 1970s
  • Clioquinol

      Les deux exemples en haut sont deux évènements très tragiques qui se sont arrivées ou les médicaments ont été expérimentés sur les animaux et tout été correcte. Cependant, quand les humains l'on essayé, cela a causé beaucoup de complications!

  • the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that 100,000 people every year are killed and more than 2 million are hospitalized as a result of prescription drugs used as prescribed
  • The British Medical Journal recently reported that 4 out of every 10 patients who take a prescribed drug can expect to suffer severe or noticeable side effects, while numerous clinical observers agree that the incidence of iatrogenesis (medically induced disease) is now so great that approximately 1 in every 10 hospital beds is occupied by a patient who has been made ill by their doctor.
  • Human medicine can no longer be based on veterinary medicine
  • There are endless examples of the differences between humans and non-human animals. PCP is a sedative for chimps Penicillin kills cats and guinea pigs but has saved many human lives. Arsenic is not poisonous to rats, mice, or sheep. Morphine is a sedative for humans but is a stimulant for cats, goats, and horses. Digitalis while dangerously raising blood pressure in dogs continues to save countless cardiac patients by lowering heart rate.

      Les 5 exemples en haut sont essentiel pour notre argument. Ca montre que les tests devraient être faites sur le humains pour voir 100% les effets que les médicaments vont avoir sur NOTRE espèce et non pas une autre.
  • Animal research is not aiding the fight against cancer. In fact, it is diverting resources from effective research and from the most obvious solution which is prevention
  • According to the National Cancer Institute, 80% of all cancers are preventable.

      C'est une excellente site pour décrire scientifiquement que l'expérimentation animale n'aide pas les humains, et au contraire nous endommage. À la fin, il y a un liste de 5 exemples de différences entre les humain et les "non-humains". Je pense que ça résume bien l'idée de l'article qui finalement veut prouver avec beaucoup de statistiques (en jaune) que les expérimentation sur les animaux sont faux non pas seulement parce que les humains réagissent différemment des animaux aux médicaments mais aussi parce que les animaux réagissent les unes aux autres différemment!

The Case for Legalized Prostitution - 1 views

shared by Nighat Ali on 20 Nov 11 - Cached
  • Recent research indicates that over one million women in the United States earn their living by full-time prostitution.
  • such prohibitions violate one's most basic and inherent rights. Prostitution is the voluntary sale (or rental) of a labor service. Individuals own their own bodies and their own labor services and have the absolute right to decide how those labor services should be used.

  • Prostitution may be the world's oldest profession, and laws prohibiting prostitution may well be the oldest example of government regulation and government (sex) discrimination. In a free society, however, all such laws are inappropriate because they violate the basic rights and liberties of the individuals involved.

    Prostitution s'agit comme une choix d'emploi. C'Est une moyen pour les femmes de recevoir de l'argent. En plus de ceci, elle créés de l'injustice vers les personnes qui aiment cette profession.

      This is a great example that the pursuit of happiness leads to happiness because this man grew up with nothing and lived on the streets, his goal was to succeed at something and he became an entrepreneur and CEO. It is truly a rag to riches story

    In this article we see how Alan Dershowitz is fighting to use torture when it is severely needed in our society. He uses the example of a terrorist hiding a ticking bomb. In this example, applying torture can save hundreds of innocent civilians.

Considering the pros and cons of "torture" » Columns » Rush... - 3 views

  • But just for the sake of discussion, let’s bring the whole issue closer to home. Suppose your son or your daughter is, for some reason, the target of kidnappers and that they’ve put your child in a hidden location with a bomb scheduled to go off if you don’t pay them a million dollars. Now, suppose you have one of the kidnappers in custody. What would you be willing to do, assuming you couldn’t get the money, to find out where your child was being held and get him or her away from the bomb? Whoops, you can’t slap the kidnapper! That would be torture! You can’t even threaten to shoot him if he doesn’t tell you what you need to know! Again, that would be torture! Do you think you might be inclined to take whatever action necessary to save your child? Or would you let your child die to avoid torture? The world is, and always has been, a vicious place and its fine and grand and noble to talk about never using torture or the threat of torture – in the abstract. I would contend, however, that if the life of your child or your spouse or your best friend was on the line, you might not look on a slap as the unlawful infliction of severe physical pain in quite the same light. In the abstract, we can call it torture. When the lives of loved ones are at stake, I submit that being slapped around seems relatively mild – but I could be wrong.
