Description

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.

Reason:

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.

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.
