I don't think that's a good idea. That would make them act defensive. I can't remember where it was, but there was an article on here that talked about how if you claim someone is an idiot for believing in God, they can either believe they're an idiot, or believe you're wrong. People don't like to believe they're idiots. People don't like to believe they're harming uncountable innocents either.
Incidentally, the position I take with animal research is to just have a fine that's as costly as the pain to the animal. If it's worth doing, they'll be able to afford the fine. If it's not, they won't.
You're not trying to convince the editorial board. This is politics, throw out your white hat.
Right. Forgot about that.
Debates where you try to convince the other person are very different than ones where you try to convince the audience.
They haven't made up there mind yet (at least, almost all of the ones that you'd convince), so they won't feel like they'd be harming innocents.
