This house regrets the general philosophy of viewing most organisms traditionally classified as parasites as pathogens rather than endosymbionts.
Infoslide

On one hand, pathogens are organisms that cause harm or disease to their hosts. On the other hand, endosymbionts live inside a host and typically provide mutual benefits or coexist without causing significant harm most of the time. Organisms traditionally classified as parasites include hookworms, tapeworms, and amoeba species.

This house believes that the state should subsidize the research and manufacture of GLP1 products (i.e. Ozempic)
Infoslide

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists are a class of medications originally developed to treat Type 2 diabetes. In recent years, they have also been approved or prescribed for weight loss. These drugs mimic a hormone that regulates appetite and insulin production, leading to reduced hunger and slower digestion. Common GLP-1 medications include semaglutide (marketed as Ozempic and Wegovy). They have gained global attention for their effectiveness in significant weight loss, and are increasingly used by both diabetic and non-diabetic individuals

This house, as a parent, W make their child undergo lifting
Infoslide

Lifting is a form of early genetic enhancement where embryos are edited to promote advanced cognitive development — such as improved memory, faster information processing, and higher problem-solving abilities. The procedure is generally effective but is associated with a 30% increase in the risk of certain chronic conditions later in life (such as autoimmune diseases or neurodegenerative disorders). There is also a minor risk of complications during the enhancement process itself, including higher infant mortality rates compared to non-edited births.
