No, if we did that then most likely the debaters themselves would touch a taboo area. That would be problematic.
Tell me what you think about these 10 topics. I just googled Debate topics and I think I found a good website. (For = yes, Against = No)
I would of course rewrite these to their statement equivalents if they subject content is suitable.
1) Do non-human animals have rights?
2) Should age discrimination be made illegal in the workplace?
3) Is it morally acceptable to experiment on non-human animals to develop products and medicines that benefit human beings?
4) Should children be hit in school as a punishment?
5) Should cosmetic surgery be banned?
6) Should the number of years it takes to achieve an undergraduate degree by shortened?
7) Should HIV positive workers have to tell their employers of their status?
8) Should parents be held morally and legally responsible for the actions/needs of their children?
9) Do schools have the right to search students' lockers? (without warrants.. naturally)
10) Can terrorism ever be justified?
(I really like number 10, I think its the most iffy one on the list)
