EPISODE 2nd OPINION Debate Series The Mentally Ill On Death Row: Cruel or Justified?

With co-hosts  Lynn Harper &  New York Myke Shelby.  About 10 percent of the 3,600 prisoners on death row have an IQ score of less than 70…they’re considered retarded.  If a retarded person murders someone in cold blood and they are proven guilty…is execution justified or is the death penalty in violation of the American standards of decency?  How would you decide – death penalty or rehabilitation?

GUESTS: Dr. Lisa Routh, and Dr. Daniel G. Amen, psychiatrists, will dive into the criminal mind of the mentally ill; John Mulligan, Minister of Johnson Avenue Church of Christ, speaks out as a strong proponent of the death penalty.

 

EPISODE Is the Death Penalty Justified? Hosted by: Lynn Harper The guest’s key points: The death penalty is not a deterrent, nations that have abolished it have had a drop in violent crime rates.  In contrast, the death penalty is justified, there are evil people in the world who will never change or be rehabilitated.

EPISODE Is U.S. Military Action Against Nations That Support Terrorism Justified?

Hosted by: Lynn Harper The guest’s key points: Military preparedness in the U.S. is lacking and that invites terrorist attack.  We must build forces.  In contrast, intelligence is not integrated and military battle alone takes huge resources and sacrifice of human life, which will not win the war.  The best offense is a strong defense.

GUESTS: Dr. Omaran Abdeen, San Diego Representative for Council for American-Islamic Relations; New York Myke Shelby, Multimedia Host, National Civil Rights Leader San Diego Harley

 

EPISODE Is Cloning Ethical? Hosted by: Lynn Harper The guest’s key points: Once you let the genie out of the bottle you cannot put it back, it will only lead to the “slippery slope” of human reproductive cloning.  In contrast, we can restrict and control human reproductive cloning by laws and ethics standards.

GUESTS: Dr. Larry Goldstein, UCSD Professor of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute; Bruno J. Leone, Professor of European Intellectual History SDSU, Author Lecturer on Cloning and Creationism vs Evolution.

EPISODE Is Compromising Civil Rights Justified in the War on Terrorism? Hosted by: Lynn Harper The guest’s key points: Wholesale violation of civil rights, Internet surveillance, phone taps, profiling, citizen “spying”, library usage data, is not effective in fighting the War on Terrorism.  In contrast, terrorism is a snake with many heads and we have no choice but to grant authority to the current administration.  What measures are making an impact on the War on Terrorism?  Do you agree or disagree?

GUESTS: Dr. Steve Albrecht, Workplace Violence Prevention, San Diego; Dale Kelly Bankhead, Public Affairs Director, American Civil Liberties Union of San Diego & Imperial Counties, (ACLU New York).
