题目：ARGUMENT188 - A new report suggests that men and women experience pain very differently from one another, and those 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 memo, the arguer suggests that the kappa opioids, a painkiller, should be prescribed for women whenever pain medication is required and asserts that researchers should reevaluate the effects of all medications on men versus women. To support it, the author points a study of 28men and 20 women showing that woman reflect a better feeling and phenomenon than men. Nonetheless, I found several fallacies in this argument.

To begin with, the information of the study is too vague that it lends little support to this argument. First, we have no idea whether the answers from the woman are reliable enough. It is impossible that these women actually feel very pain yet did not want to confess it. Secondly, the author does provide us any information about the situation of the two groups of people. Perhaps the men in the study are all young guys, or their body conditions are much lower than women. If so, the result of this study is invalid. Thirdly, even though the respond of the study is reliable, however, the relatively small sample size cannot necessarily represents the overall population.

Even though the kappa ipiiods is really effective for treating women's pain, there is no necessary to add this painkiller to all pain medication. From the study, we only know that this medication is helpful in the wisdom teeth extracted, but have no ideas of its function on other kinds of pain. Without confirm its using scope, it is risk for the arguer recommending doctors to use the kappa opioids whenever pain medication is required. Perhaps some women are sensitive to this kind of painkiller, or perhaps the kappa opidoids will bring negative effects to body if it is used in other kinds of pain.

Similarly, it is superficial of the author to suggest that all medications on men and women should be reevaluated again. For the one side, the kappa opioid is far from sufficient of representing the overall educations. For the other side, it is impossible and unnecessary to reevaluate all of medications. The author overlooks this measure's cost and feasibility. And even though the effects on men versus women are different to some extent, whether the difference is serious and important also needs to be taken into account.

To sum up, this argument is unconvincing as it stands. To bolster it, the author must ensure that the women in the study are exactly feeling better than men, and the easing of pain lasted in women is longer as well. Also, the arguer should provide specific and convincing evidence showing that this study is representative of the overall medication. To better evaluate the argument, I also need to know the body condition and other differences
