Round 1
Lyndsee: "Rose is a 90 year old female who has a 50/50 chance of living. Rose has multiple illnesses such as multiple sclerosis, hodgkins disease, and multiple other deathly diseases. Rose is on life support and his been in the hospital for over a month. The doctors and nurses have all come to an agreement to take the life support, feeding tubes, etc. away from Rose. All of this might sound good, but there is one major problem, they have decided to do this without and of Roses' childrens consent or anyone else in the family. This could cause a big controversy."

iamsano: "Hi, first of off i am sorry to hear about her condition but we need to take hard stand in life sometimes. I guess you are talking about euthanasia in this case which is an assisted suicide. It might sound horrible but necessary sometimes. In this case, you are talking about someone who has a 50-50 chance of living but i guess it is not that way because doctors in the hospital believe her life should be taken away and for me that is because she has less chance of living. so if i am gonna challenge you, it will be on that ground and if that is alright with you,then we can have a debate. I believe euthanisa is right the person has less chances of making it even without parental consent. Thank you"
