Hey can you think of some contentions for my debate?
hey i have to write a LD debate speech for school for both the aff and the neg. and i cant think of anything! here is the resolution: It is morally permissible to kill one innocent person to save the lives of more innocent people! i really hope u guys can help..i am just so brain-dead!
hey actually just give me some negative information..
Affirmative: It is morally permissible to kill one innocent person to save the lives of more innocent people.
Talk about how in situations like this, someone is going to die either way. Taking action by jeopardizing one person to save the rest is cutting down on losses. Through your actions someone has died, but through inaction many more could have died.
Negative: It is NOT morally permissible to kill one innocent person to save the lives of more innocent people.
Talk about how it is not the average person’s decision whether another person lives or dies; that duty belongs to God, the judicial system, etc. Perhaps present the alternative of killing yourself to save innocent people, instead of killing another person- it’s one thing to make a choice about your own life, but another thing entirely to make a choice about someone else’s.
Hope this helps.
