Future bathroom designs should have no dividers between female stalls

There is no evidence to show a benefit by exclusion of dividers. Dividers provide privacy for oneself and a barrier from others. Thus, the proposal is unnecessary and reasonably undesirable.

Not evereyone should have the right to have children

Just as some people are ill-suited as gardeners or engineers, others are particularly ill-suited as parents. Parenting should be a licensed privilege, at least as much as driving a vehicle requires a license. Children have no defense against violent or neglectful or ill-suited parents.

You should not prevent someone from commiting suicide.

It is appropriate to ascertain their cognitive status and to try to help them delay the decision if they appear seriously impaired (due to drugs/alcohol, head injury or traumatic emotional upset).

Capital punishment should be abolished

There is no credible evidence that capital punishment deters crime.

You should not prevent someone from commiting suicide.

It IS their life; they are not required to continue suffering in order to spare others the suffering of dealing with their suicide. There are methods of exiting while also preparing others for your eventual suicide. This is, obviously, more thoughtful.

If we found evidence of Aliens, we should try to be really silent and limit the amount of radio noise we emit.

First, we will ascertain their intent and capabilities before risking exposure. Assumptions are inappropriate in uncharted scenarios like this. Caution and preparation come first, followed by a warm welcome if they turn out to be friendly. We can learn a lot from each other if given a chance.

Capital punishment should be abolished

Maintaining each death row prisoner costs taxpayers $90,000 more per year than a prisoner in general population.
