everyone is given a button that can revive their loved one at their physical and mental best before they died (memories intact).
murder: the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another. Assume that murder is still illegal in this universe
misdemeanor: a nonindictable offense, regarded in the US (and formerly in the UK) as less serious than a felony.
- How will they revive their most loved one?
- Where will this be put in place?
- Not Everyone is the Most Loved.
- Murders can go unfound
- P1: Revival is lucky at best. Not everyone can revive people they love.
- P2: The pain the victim will be experiencing is worse than the actual ethical flaws of the murder itself.
- P3: Murder should remain a felony because of the ethical flaws and the amount of pain the victim will be experiencing
- How will they revive their most loved one?
- Not Everyone is the Most Loved.
- Murders can go unfound
- Murders are painful
- Not everyone can be revived. Permanence of death in this world still exists in many cases.
- Murder is painful. Murder if not done instantaneously is painful. Most murders aren’t instantaneous, and leave their victim in pain.
- Murder causes mental trauma. Having your life taken away from you will definitely spite mental problems you will have to suffer for for your entire life.
- Reviving isn’t perfect. You don’t get transferred back to normal. You will simply only have your life back. You will still be in extreme pain.
the towel has been thrown
Concession.
PRO concedes, and drops points or doesn't address them thorough out the debate. Not to mention that his refutations are, as CON points out, factually incorrect.
It is
Concession.
However, neat topic. Con catching the limit was a good one, since it means that not everyone could reliably be brought back.
I hate to disagree with things from the description, but the whole being brought back at your mental best but with memories intact thing, was proven to not just be weird, but contradictory as we'd remember our murders and likely have PTSD from those memories.
Concession, vote.
Nice catch on the topic.
Personally, I would be in favor of being killed in such a world; as I could then be brought back in better health than I am now. Granted, that would be an assisted suicide, not a real murder.
at the press of a button, like I can I BB presented.
A felony, like it is now. The problem with the resolution is that it says "most" loved one. How will this person be revived? How will they keep track of who loved them the most? Murder happens at a spectacular and terrifying rate, having everyone they ever were related to seems tedious.
Are you arguing that it should be a crime or it should be nothing at all?
Bruh
Murder itself could be a non-crime. However, various other crimes committing related to the method of killing would still be in effect.
