Description

BY ACCEPTING THIS DEBATE YOU ACCEPT THE FOLLOWING:

We agree to have sources outside the document if we wish to increase our character limit efficiency.

The term 'sane' is to be loosely defined in favour of Pro. Meaning that the strict definition of 'not mentally ill' shouldn't be literally taken as something Pro needs to prove all of the resolution don't qualify as or vice versa. Beyond that, the definition is flexible enough and this is about sound judgement and rational thought.
