Assisted suicide should be a criminal offence
Project Debater
Following my analysis, I would suggest that assisted suicide should be a criminal offence. In this debate we are calling for sanity, and for discretion. Not everything in life demands our involvement, even if science gives us the power to do so. I would like to note that there should be a limit to what humans are allow...

Casinos should be banned
Project Debater
Thank you for the opportunity to be here today. Following my analysis, I would suggest that we should ban casinos.

We should ban abortions
Project Debater
Following my analysis, I would suggest that we should ban abortions.
