many issues seem to only have two options - both of which are very extremist. for example:
Scientists and animal rights activists have once again brought up the debate over animal experimentation to your attention.
The Debate
"What have those poor, defenceless animals ever done to us?" asks Violet Chicago, owner of the East SixEyedSmily squirrels with flutes Sanctuary. "Kidnapping these helpless creatures from their habitat simply to stick probes and needles in them is just barbaric! How would you like it if someone caged you in a lab and conducted tests on you just to find out whether a new product was fit for sale? Experimenting on animals ought to be banned!"
[Accept]
"It is not unethical," replies Dr. Max Rubin, the chief surgeon at SixEyedSmily's largest Cancer Research Clinic. "The unethical thing to do would be to deny the public of the benefit of the great scientific advancements we're making! If we have to sacrifice some animals in the name of science, healthcare, or a commerical venture, then that's just what we've got to do! Think of the lives we could save! All we require is more government support and funding for this worthy cause."
[Accept]
The Government Position
The government has yet to formalize a position on this issue.
If you wish, you may simply dismiss this issue.

for example, in this issue a third option could have been to restrict animal testing to only medicinal testing, currently the options only allow completely banning it, or encouraging animal testing for beauty products.
Sirocco, this post is partially directed at you as all the issues i have come across with only two extremist options seem to have been edited by you :) dont wish to cause offence here but maybe you could take this into consideration?
Many thanks
