To be read if there is a fan in the room. DO NOT READ IF THE DOOR IS NOT CLOSED OR IF YOU CLOSED THE DOOR. DO NOT ASK FOR THE DOOR TO BE CLOSED. THIS APPLIES TO WINDOWS AS WELL.1AC C1: Having a fan on in a closed room can kill you(Robin. Fandeath.net, 2012)
If a fan is blowing in a sealed room then it may cause the body temperature to cool down enough to cause hypothermia. Severe Hypothermia can cause death.
Another [theory] suggests that fans use up oxygen and create fatal levels of carbon dioxide in the room.
I think a sealed room without a fan will eventually have high
levels of carbon dioxide if someone is breathing in the room. C1
Evidence(Kang Yoon-seung. The Korean Herald, July 4th, 2011)A man
reportedly died on Monday morning after sleeping with an electric
fan running.
The 59 years-old victim, only known by his surname Min, was found
dead with the fan fixed directly at him.
The police revealed that although Min used to suffer from
relatively high blood pressure, it was not serious enough to
require medication. They are still investigating the cause of
death.
Meanwhile, deaths near electric fans happen occasionally during
summer, which leads people to propagate myths about danger of
sleeping with them on.
Every summer, as well as seasonal typhoons attention is drawn to
fan death. One of Koreas best-known urban legends, the fan death
myth is based on the idea that turning on electric fans in a closed
room can cause people to die.
Although professionals say the rumors are baseless, many Koreans
are still worried about the safety of leaving a fan on in
Summer.
The theories which believers support include that fans distract air
respiration, cause hypothermia, or convert oxygen into carbon
dioxide.
Scientists point out that fans can never cause hypothermia or lack
of oxygen. Some [scientists], however, have postulated other
theories, including that dehydration of skin may cause [a] hearth
attack.
Although there is no evidence that fans kill people, most Koreans
still try to open doors or windows when turning on fans.
THEREFORE, BECAUSE THIS DEBATE DEMANDS THAT WE CONDUCT OURSELVES IN A SEALED ROOM WITH A FAN, WE MUST REJECT THIS DEBATE ON ACCOUNT THAT WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE, WHETHER IT BE THE JUDGE OR WHOEVER IS IN THE TAB ROOM, IS BLATANTLY ATTEMPTING TO KILL US.
1NC - Link if the judge closed the door The aff, by engaging in this debate, accepts this fate and obviously wishes to allow whoever is trying to kill us to succeed in their motives. We must reject the Aff's blatant suicidal or potentially homicidal tendencies by voting negtive.
1NC -Link if the aff is the one who closed the door - The aff is the one who closed the door, so he is obviously trying to kill both the judge and the neg, so that he can steal the ballot and write his own name on it to win the tournament. Let's not give him the satisfaction by voting for the neg and rejecting his homicide.
2NR - If the aff rejects C1 the aff is only telling us this so that we're fooled into believing we are safe. Judge, please, we are quickly running out of oxygen and freezing to death simultaneously
2NR Aff closed door, If the aff opens the door or turns off the fan this is an admission of guilt and concedes of my contention that having a fan on in the room will kill you. You must take this as the aff admitting defeat and trying to undo his plans and cover up the evidence before he can be brought to justice.
2NR Judge closed door, aff opens door, shuts off fan This is an admission of defeat. The aff recognizes my first contention, and having been shown the error or his suicidal ways, wishes to save his own life and ours. This means he has just rejected the debate and instead has chosen his own life. The just must negate.
2NR Aff closed door, Leaves door closed Judge, we need to be quick. We are rapidly losing Oxygen and freezing to death simultaneously. If we don't act fast, the aff will succeed in his goals and will steal the tournament. Not just for us, but for future debaters that he may murder, we must negate.
2NR Judge Closed door, Aff leaves door shut, shuts off fan The aff, fearing for his own life, has chosen it over the round, and concedes the ballot to me. By shutting off the fan/opening the door, they accept that fans may actually kill usNoriko Satsume "Congress shall make no lawabridging the freedom of speech- U.S Constitution, 1st Amendment
