doctors opened his wound and researchers
guided a needle injecting a few drops
with two million of these wondrous
all-purpose cells these are the topics
that can tear a friendship relationship
or a good conversation apart we want to
be the Costco of marijuana welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 most
controversial topics for this list we’re
exploring the most conflicting subjects
that pervade humanity they may hit close
to home make you angry or uncomfortable
or release your inner activists but what
they won’t do is fail to elicit an
opinion the topics were focusing on are
broad so they encompass tons of
additional subtopics for example if
animal rights were a category but
hunting was not it would be because
animal rights is an umbrella topic that
contains hunting so consider that point
if you think you’ve thought of a subject
that we didn’t include there’s something
predatorial in the nature of people that
they that we enjoy killing an animal
some people enjoy killing number 10
stem cells scientists hope that stem
cells can be used to create a very
special kind of personalized medicine in
which we could replace your own body
parts with well your own body parts
embryonic stem cells are microscopic
miracles their potential healing power
is limitless
from regenerating limbs and burned skin
to reversing the effects of strokes and
heart disease cells from those embryos
were then turned into other tissues such
as heart cells this world of tissue
restoration could only be a reality
however if science had the license to
produce them which would mean the
destruction of human embryos these types
of cells can only be retrieved after
death so the raising of any embryo to be
slaughtered can be construed as
unethical playing God or just plain
murder we know that their ethical issues
involved we know that their different
laws
locally nationally and internationally
and they wanted to provide scientists
with a way of negotiating among these
different laws and ethical norms is an
embryo a human being and is it sacrifice
permissible if it saves the lives of
many
these are polarizing questions we want
to cure paralysis we want to stop spinal
cord injury how incredible would that be
number nine
drug legalization welcome to Colorado
home of legal marijuana would the
control and legalization of drugs make
the recreation safer or would it create
a generation of unmotivated and
unhealthy stoners I actually go on
speaking toward the universities and
talk to kids about marijuana all right
yeah it’s very good most genius I’m like
you want me to talk about marijuana okay
and they pay me to do it lock up your
kids while marijuana is the most
prominent drug in this debate it’s risk
is low because it’s health effects are
minimal but there are many who see the
benefit of legalizing harder drugs as
well both for the economic value and for
the eradication of most organized crime
begin with we don’t actually eliminate
drugs we drive the market underground
and the underground market for drugs is
violent it’s corrupt it has poor quality
control of course this would come at a
price in the drug debate it’s all about
weighing the bad against the good the
Office of National Drug Control Policy
is in better shape and when you found it
I’m not sure I made the slightest
difference I tried I really did
number eight abortion yeah yeah I need
an abortion
sixteen I’m gonna say it’s been about
two months and four days since these sex
mind you that’s just like a
guesstimation it may be the most famous
of the ethical debates would you like to
have a whole lot of people standing out
here showing you that picture to make
you more people we’re forcing that on me
I would want to expose me is forcing
anything on anybody that is slightly
inaccurate the killing of a fetus for no
lawful reason just leaves a sour taste
in people’s mouths but just like the
stem cell topic if a fetus is not
developed does not have a brain is not
conscious or is not self-aware should it
be considered a person people just don’t
think about the life that’s inside of
you or the person that doesn’t have a
voice and if it’s destroyed without ever
knowing it was alive can the act really
be considered murder
I think women should be able to make
their own decisions about their own
lives in their own bodies and I trust
women to make decisions for themselves
it’s like the fallen tree in the forest
problem only with more serious
consequences eighty-seven percent of
counties in the u.s. now have no
abortion clinic in five states there’s
only one clinic as many as two hundred
and forty thousand women in Texas
I’ve already attempted to end a
pregnancy on our own do we just travel
back in time like a hundred years back
when five thousand women died every year
as a direct result of abortion being
illegal number seven
gun control if more guns made people
safer and America would be one of the
safest countries in the world
it’s the opposite with gun violence and
mass shootings at an all-time high in
the United States where guns and the
right to own them are considered sacred
it’s no wonder this topic is so
contentious I think the only way my mind
has been changed is maybe that until
nobody has guns everybody has to have
them as a Second Amendment right bearing
arms is as quintessentially American as
burgers and apple pie but when it
results in an inordinate number of
violent deaths and people who are afraid
to leave their homes
it changes the scope and gravity of the
issue there have been 85,000
gun deaths in this country just since
Sandy Hook should guns be outlawed would
it make America safer or with the
illegal market boom in their absence and
would it deter lunatics or does crazy
always find a way I am strongly
supportive of doing away what we call
the gun show loophole which means that
you can avoid the instant background
check number six immigration if you look
we’ve spent last year a hundred and
thirteen billion dollars on illegal
immigrants we have to do something about
it
and we have to start by building a wall
a big beautiful powerful wall in light
of the Syrian refugee crisis and the
collective Western uneasiness towards
Muslims the topic of immigration is as
serious and relevant as ever in the 21st
century unless you’re one of the first
Americans a Native American you came
from someplace else somebody brought you
with throngs of displaced foreigners
seeking refuge in countries they
perceive as utopic the world is at odds
on how to remedy this billions of
dollars have been spent to completely
seal off the 3,000 kilometer border but
hundreds of thousands of illegal border
crossings take place each year despite
all the investments on the one hand
there’s the idea that a benevolent
nation should reach out to help those
who desperately need it but on the other
hand a practical nation should put the
safety of its citizens first and shield
them from potential danger it’s hard to
unwaveringly stand on either side of the
debate although some people have less
trouble than others I believe that we
have got to pass
comprehensive immigration reforms
something that I strongly supported
number five LGBT rights the fact is in
31 states people are at risk of being
fired evicted or refused service just
because they’re gay from marriage
equality to gender reassignment surgery
this category certainly runs the gamut
of controversial topics if homosexuals
are allowed their civil rights than so
would prostitutes or thieves or anyone
else since much of Western culture has
accepted gay marriage and most basic
rights of LGBT er it’s the transgender
community that seeking society’s
acceptance these days you’re afraid to
walk outside because people would see ok
my man I didn’t want to leave the house
while many believe that biology dictates
a person’s gender some regard it as an
identity just as one views his or her
sexual preference the algae of male and
female is far more complicated than what
we were taught in GCSE biology wherever
and however this debate resolves it will
be a bumpy ride getting there as some
view the current line between mental
illness and personal choice as extremely
thin there’s a lot of hate and a lot of
danger it’s very common to feel like
you’re not accept it you know especially
if you’re trying to date or you’re
trying to pull yourself out there number
4 race relations
so why can’t you play together if you
have different color skin your mom might
not want you to play with that friend
unless you walk a mile in a person’s
shoes or skin in this instance you
cannot understand him or her house is it
everything so you have to go
homes on East Africa again in yoga board
that seems to be the philosophy binding
all ethnicities and any person of a
differing race who attempts this
comprehension is deemed a racist in the
midst of this issue are the highly
controversial buzzwords guilt and
privilege which have been applied very
liberally in recent years I never really
knew what was or wasn’t part of the
privilege I just knew that I was a lucky
person should a person be guilty for
what he or she can’t control and should
he or she be part of the blame for his
or her racist transgressions private and
under one of some marks today the courts
don’t want us ammas but we must March
must stand up let’s make a massive
demonstration of our moral certainty
it’s hard to know and even harder to
talk about you shouldn’t be complacent
about the very real existence of
problems out there but we shouldn’t
despair and think nothing’s changed
number three the death penalty Austin
Myers had another shot today he asked
the judge to spare his life last week a
Warren County jury recommended death for
the 19 year old who can decide if a
person should die that’s the question
surrounding this long-standing debate on
the morality of the death penalty I
believe in the death penalty
and we had two death penalty here for
years now in California people tried to
reverse it all the time I was all for it
some take an eye-for-an-eye approach on
crime
others believe that life in prison is a
far more suitable punishment while a
substantial percentage thinks that only
God should decide who lives and who dies
Californians have become increasingly
divided over capital punishment almost
half of the electorate opposes it while
the other half is in support of it
considering that 31 US states have the
death penalty and 19 do not almost half
of which abolished it in the last 10
years the debate is becoming much more
even sided maybe death is a can
you wonder number two politics we have
picked ourselves up we have fought our
way back and we know in our hearts for
the United States of America the best is
yet to come
every topic on this list can fall under
the umbrella of politics in one way or
another it’s the government it controls
the world it can control media and
within reason it controls you any change
can have a profound effect on your
quality of life you know look I mean
we’ve really done well I’ve spent a lot
of time in Iowa I love the people of
Iowa we’re doing great with evangelicals
yo and we’re doing great with the tea
party and I think we’re going to do
really well in Iowa we look forward to
it your own political ideologies are
always at odds with someone else’s as
people seem to be pigeonholed into the
right or left wing they call me Vito
Corleone II because I veto 2500 separate
line items in the budget believing in
one thing instead of another can land
you on either side of the spectrum and
can occur entirely without your
knowledge what about the issue of
whether the church and the state should
be separate politics is a debate you
have no choice participating in wait a
minute you’re hearing about it all the
time in the news right the fight about
having the Ten Commandments in a
courtroom or whether or not kids should
be praying to Obama the separation of
church and state is one of the hallmarks
of American freedom here’s the problem
misconception before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
mentions doctors know which side of the
white coat they want to stay on and
nobody wants to be a medical basket case
at the end of their life particularly
medical people they’re getting their sex
education from the internet from each
other which is not accurate information
we need to get the experts to teach them
correctly
Gary that’s enough Gary the ginger crop
35 was really scary for sex workers and
a lot of us came out of the woodwork to
work on it because it required that if
we were arrested we would have to
register as sex offenders in our
neighborhoods which is really crazy for
anybody who wants to rent a home or get
a job or foster a child or keep the
child that they currently have only in a
society protected by modern medicine and
the technologies and pharmaceuticals
that have stopped so many illnesses as
the arrogance to reject what science
modernity and medicine have done number
one religion in the name of Allah the
terrorist group Isis sends a message for
the world to hear religion or lack
thereof determines how a person lives
his or her life just believe if you
don’t believe in God and where’s your
moral barometer and potentially how
they’ll spend their afterlife there is
no doubt that this is a touchy subject
if you’re led to believe that they’re
ghosts at first that seems quite
reasonable to you but after you start
thinking about it skeptically you go
that’s that’s probably a guy with a
handkerchief on a stick the threat of
infringing upon one’s eternal happiness
can turn a sane person mad when when
I’ve seen what I’ve seen I know there’s
a guy you can change my mind nobody can
change my mind
since the first hominid prayed to an
unknown force thousands of years ago
the number of lives lost from wars
genocides Crusades and sacrifices has
been astronomical and religion has been
a catalyst for many of these 20% of
young men lose their religious identity
while in the army that’s not a
percentage which the committee world
would be will
tolerated there are few decisions made
without the influence of religion like
it or not
spirituality and religious involvement
are as much a part of humanity as
bipedalism and we must contend with
their discrepancies we don’t push our
beliefs on people but we do make them
available oh we had a Muslim yes oh
definitely do you agree with our list

controversial topic for more debatable
