Issues

Thought I'd try to set up a sort of issue doctor sort of thread, seeing as I've actually managed to blunder (with airport security and the death penalty issues).
Here are two of mine that I'm a little stuck with at the moment:
1: Cannibalism
options:
i)"I see absolutely no problem with people digging into each other at dinnertime, so long as everyone is willing, Not only does it solve hunger problems and create jobs, but it also adds variety to Soviet British Publics's sometimes dull palette."
ii)While it may strike some as a crude, even evil practice, our ancestors have practiced cannibalism for years. If we create a government organization to strictly regulate and grade all human meat prior to its arrival on the market, we can ensure that respect for diversity is maintained while health concerns are also allayed. And instead of killing average people, why not make being turned into snack foods a post-mortem option? Like donating your body to science
iii)You're all absolutely out of your minds!" exclaims Buy Wall, head of Soviet British Publics's largest health-food manufacturer. "It's immoral, it's unhealthy, and it's disgusting. Not only are these so-called 'dietary rights' activists leading us down a dark path of sin, but right into a marketplace with yet another product that's almost as bad as beef

In this issue I'm torn between options 1 and 2, any thoughts on the whole personnal freedom issue?

2:SETI: UFO sightings etc.
i)This event proves one thing: there are other life-forms out there," says eccentric astronomer Johann Wall, "All we have to do is find them! What is the price of a few hundred Radio Telescopes compared to the benefit of living in peace and harmony with our brethren of the stars
ii)Spies! It's gotta be spies! A few planes or satellites from our enemies or 'allies' in our region," rages General Akira Hendrikson, head of Soviet British Publics's military, "The only way to keep those snoops out of our airspace is to patrol the streets 'n skies, and shoot 'em down! Even if they are some sort of little green aliens, a couple of SAM batteries and a few flak cannons'll keep 'em from abducting our Urban Bears."
iii)"Extraterrestrial lifeforms? Alien invaders? I don't know why we even have to listen to such idiocy!" complains prize-winning physicist Abraham Fellow. "In my opinion, the idea of 'aliens' on another planet is highly unlikely, and even if they did exist, getting from there to here is technically impossible! I say we forget this nonsense and stop spending our tax Peoples' Pounds on it. Leave this sort of foolishness to the people who attend those 'trekkie' conventions."

Here I'm most tempted to take option 1, except that it's being proposed by people who may well be nutters, but option three smacks of right wing anti-tax opinion.

I can't really say on cannibalism, I am against it but I don't like the exaggerated moral outrage of option 3 so I just dismiss it usually.

On UFO sightings, it only really depends if you feel like investment in space-I don't really care too much, so i pick number three. Though that is quite boring I guess, you might as well pick number one! (not really a nutter's option I think, it just means investment in space exploration)
