"Should we encourage terminally ill patients to persevere?" This is the topic of today's debate of "Who's Talking", a somewhat sad and somewhat serious topic.

Although the contestants had already learned about the topic of the debate a week ago and had already prepared for it, the moment they heard the instructor announce the content, everyone couldn't help but let out an exclamation of "wow".

The contestants were still like this, not to mention the students, and they all fell silent for a moment, and they lived up to the scene of the heated discussion just now.

Obviously, the instructors had expected this scene, so Gao Xiaosong said: "I know that this debate topic is a bit heavy, but the reason for the heaviness is always just because of fear. Now let's face up to the deaths of these bloody forests, and then examine the lives of those who are also bloody forests. ”

After Gao Xiaosong's words, Ma Dong also continued: "I noticed that at the moment when this debate was spoken, the audience was quiet, and it had never been quiet before. So I would like to ask how many of you have experienced this kind of thing, and I will raise my hand and take a look. ”

Hearing Ma Dong's words, almost half of the more than 20 people present raised their hands, including Liu La herself, and the three mentors all raised their hands.

"Okay." Ma Dong nodded, and asked the audience again: "So how many of the audience present have experienced this kind of thing, please raise your hand as well." ”

Hearing this, some of the audience also raised their hands, and coincidentally, like the contestants just now, almost half of the two hundred spectators also raised their hands.

"Okay, looks like that's how it should turn out, half and half." Ma Dong nodded again: "Then please press the voting machine in your hand and vote for the first time, the square blue is Mr. Komatsu's team, and their point of view is support." The opposing red team is Mr. Kang Yong's team, and their point of view is not supportive. Voting is now open. ”

As soon as Ma Dong's voice fell, the audience began to press the button, and everyone had their own plans in their hearts during the time just now, so it only took seven or eight seconds for the voting to end, and the final result appeared on the screen: 105 votes for blue and 95 votes for red.

"Hey, it's unexpected, I thought the blue side would be overwhelmingly supported in this round of voting." Seeing the results come out, Cai Kangyong couldn't help but sigh "Huh", and he asked the audience curiously: "Do you have any friends who voted for the red side can tell me why you want to support us?" Why don't terminally ill patients be encouraged to persevere? ”

Hearing Cai Kangyong's question, a girl below raised her hand and replied: "That's right, the reason why I voted for Red Fang is because my grandfather died of cancer in the first half of the year, and he was already at an advanced stage when he was found, and he lasted for more than three months. He lived in pain for more than three months, and in the last month, his body was covered with needles, and there was no place to inject him, so he had to put painkillers under the soles of his feet. During these three months, I experienced first-hand the helplessness and helplessness of my loved ones when they were about to die, and experienced the pain of people in the face of death. Frankly, on the day my grandfather passed away, I wasn't even sad, I was a little happy, happy for his relief. ”

After the girl finished speaking, she sat down with red eyes.

And Cai Kangyong nodded: "I'm sorry, I understand your current mood very well, and at the same time, I can probably understand everyone's thoughts." So, without further ado, let's get our debate off to the ground. ”

First of all, pros and cons.

Almost as soon as Cai Kangyong's words fell, Spider-Man, who was in the same group as Liu La, stood up first and said: "What we are discussing now is whether it should be or not, but in my opinion, this is simply a false proposition." Whether it should be or not depends on whether you are facing this kind of problem, and I am facing it now. ”

Spider-Man choked up when he said this, and everyone could understand his true feelings and pain.

He said slowly: "When everyone sees the word terminal illness, almost all of them think of the following diseases, cancer, leukemia, and advanced uremia, but there is another disease that is often ignored by everyone, that is, Alzheimer's disease. ”

"I was raised by my grandmother, she is a very clean and neat old lady, she has been diligent and capable since she was young, no one can say a word to her, and anyone who sees this old lady has to give a thumbs up. There was an old lady in our hospital who had this disease, Alzheimer's disease, and my grandmother said to me at that time, "Son, if one day I also get this thing, you can just bury it for me, and I have to go with dignity." ”

"The old lady said so, what can I say? can only frown, why do you say this is useless? But God always likes to joke with us, this matter has not been a few months, one day my grandmother went to buy vegetables and suddenly lost, the whole family looked for two days and finally found it in the hospital, the doctor showed it, Alzheimer's disease. ”

Speaking of this, Spider-Man not only choked up, but cried bitterly: "Gradually, my grandma began to not recognize the way, began to be unable to distinguish between hot and cold bath water, began to be unable to read books, began to be not so neat, not so clean, and finally, she didn't know me anymore." That's why I say this is a false proposition, all terminal illnesses will gradually lose their will after entering the advanced stage, only instinct remains, in this case, what encouragement you say, should not, it is simply in vain. All you can do is persevere, to hold on, and to do everything you can to keep your loved one one longer! ”

Speaking of this, Spider-Man sniffed slightly: "Thank you, that's my opinion." ”

"Whoa." He was greeted by applause from the audience, and as he spoke, the votes on both sides gradually changed, gradually tilting towards the blue side, and finally by the time he finished speaking, the votes had become 177-23.

And the next second Spider-Man sat down, the "Loyal Dog Hachiko" on the opposite side of the red side stood up. Hachiko, a woman, said slowly, "I have deep sympathy for what happened to Spider-Man. In fact, what is a terminal illness is the end of a disease, an incurable disease. In the past, technology was not developed enough, and when a person was terminally ill, he could only face two choices, or death. But now it's different, because of the development of medical technology, we have opened up a new survival channel between the two, that is, half-dead. ”

"I admit that the word is cruel, but it is also true. I have consulted with friends abroad before, and with their current medical methods, a patient with terminal cancer can survive for up to 20 years in bed with the help of a machine. We should all have had a toothache, a pain to the bone, and when this pain spreads all over the body and lasts for 20 years, please take a closer look, should we really persuade our loved ones to endure this pain? ”

"To put it mildly, if a person reaches this level, it is really better to die early! That's my point, thank you. ”

In the words of "Hachiko", the audience became more quiet. On the other hand, the number of votes on the big screen began to grow slowly back again, and finally it became 120:80. While blue still has some advantages, it's not much.

The first debate was so intense, which was beyond the expectations of everyone present, including Liu La...... (To be continued.) )
