Argument188
A new report suggests that men and women experience pain very differently from one another, and that doctors should consider these differences when prescribing pain medications. When researchers administered the same dosage of kappa opioids-a painkiller-to 28 men and 20 women who were having their wisdom teeth extracted, the women reported feeling much less pain than the men, and the easing of pain lasted considerably longer in women. This research suggests that kappa opioids should be prescribed for women whenever pain medication is required, whereas men should be given other kinds of pain medication. In addition, researchers should reevaluate the effects of all medications on men versus women.
In this argument, according to the result of a research in which men and women were observed after taking the same dosage of kappa opioids-a painkiller when they had their wisdom teeth extracted, the argument concludes researchers should reevaluate the effects of all medications on men versus women. In my opinion, this argument isn’t thoroughly reasoned, for both the experiment and the conclusion are not scientific enough.
First of all, even though the research is scientific, the conclusion still can’t be accepted. We admit the effects of medications have difference between men and women, but in this argument there is no evidence showing the fact that effects of all kinds medications are different from the individuals. This argument takes a part for the whole, so the conclusion is not scientific.
Then, the research in this argument also exist several aspects that are not scientific.
First, in the research the 28 men and 20 women who were having their wisdom teeth extracted took the same dosage of kappa opioids. However, the medical common sense tells us the dosage of the medicine is determined by the level of the sick, even the weight of the patient. In this research the patients took the same dosage of kappa opioids without knowing the level of their sick, so this part of the experiment is not scientific.
Second, in this research the patients were suffered the pain caused by wisdom teeth extracted. But one of the principles in the medical research is that all the condition of the patients must be all the same. The level of pain after wisdom teeth extracted is different from the individuals. Take me for example, after my wisdom teeth extracted I felt little pain, but when it comes to one of my friend the pain made him even couldn’t fall asleep. In this research the level of pain is different from the individuals, let alone between men and women, so this part of the experiment isn’t scientific too.
At last, this research suggests that kappa opioids should be prescribed for women whenever pain medication is required, whereas men should be given other kinds of pain medication. Even the process of the research is scientific, this suggestion can’t be accepted. The dosage of kappa opioids may take little effect on men in this research, but we can’t conclude men should be given other kinds of pain medication when pain medication is required. Besides, even the kappa opioids is effective in treating the pain after wisdom teeth extracted, we still can’t make sure kappa opioids can treat all kinds of pain on women. The suggestion of the research also takes a part for the whole.
To sum up, both the conclusion and the research in this argument make the mistake of taking a part of the whole, what’s more the method of the research is not scientific enough to support the conclusion. If we conduct a research, we should make sure the process is scientific. When drawing the conclusion, we must take all situations into consideration.
