TOPIC: 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.

With citing a report about the effects of a painkiller named kappa opioids on 48 people, the author makes an attempt to convince us that men and women have different reactions when they are treated with this painkiller. Resting on this analysis, the arguer claims whether kappa opioids should consider the sex of patients and the effects of all medications should be reevaluate. Nevertheless, there are several unpersuasive and illogical aspects in the course of this argument.

The author draws the conclusion depending on the single experiment. However, there are only 48 people involve in this experiment. For a persuasive experiment, the number of the people may be too few to sustain a convincing result. The article informs us that the women reported feeling much less pain than the men, and painkiller effects last longer time. But, in fact, we could not conclude whether these consequences are the matter about the pills, because we are not provided the physical condition of two groups of people. It's entirely possible that these women are in good health, and these men aren't. As we all know, the healthier people may have larger possibility to overcome the pains in usual.

Assuming kappa opioids have better effects to deal with pain of extracting teeth on women, the author states kappa opioids should be suggested for women whenever pain medication is needed is unfound. There are also absent any evidence to prove that this pill also have considerable advantages to help women ease the all pains. Similarly, there is no reason to discard the kappa opioids from the men's prescribe forever, just because of the little less effective on the decreasing the pain of the teeth extracting.

The author falsely gets the conclusion that effects of all medications on men and women should be reevaluated. Even finding some pills actually have different effects on the two different sexes, we may be not necessary to do like what the author suggests. Possibly, there are no or too small difference on most of painkillers. What's more, the procession of the evaluating all medications may be all-consuming. If so, the fact would weaken the conclusion seriously. We may be not necessary to do like the author's suggestion.

The author overlooks the scant of the experiment, and makes an imprudent conclusion that all medications need to be reevaluated based on this single experiment. For further improving this argument, more detailed information about the healthy condition of the involvers of the experiment, much more convincing experiments to strengthen that women own better effects with the using of the kappa opioids when they confront all pains than men does and persuasive evidence to prove the necessity to reevaluate all medications should be provided.
