Our practice go at Debates

 We have been starting to learn a bit about debates.  It's sometimes difficult when you have to practice arguing something that you don't believe in yourself, like I had to argue that animal testing for medical research shouldn't be banned.  I was buddied up with Rebecca and she argued it should be banned.


Here's our first ideas.


Animal testing in medicine should be banned!

Mikayla- Against                             Rebecca-For


For -

I am for animal testing in medicine to be banned. This practice should not continue.

Animals should not be sacrificed for humans. People should find other ways to make medicine so animals can live longer and not have to suffer! 

Animals have feelings too!         


Against-

Animals should be used for medical research.

This research is saving human lives! The choice is either the animals die or the humans die, and humans are a higher functioning species than animals. There are many important medical breakthroughs that have happened, because animals can be used to test things before they are tested on humans.
