Non-lethal warfare

Description

Engaging in combat using technologies of warfare which do not kill the combatants.

Implementation

Research is being done on narcotic darts and temporarily incapacitating chemical agents.

Claim

Warfare being inevitable. It must be rendered less or non destructive to human life. Thus instead of being biological it could be made economically destructive.

Counter-claim

Were warfare much less destructive, it would be more frequently used to resolve conflicts. It is precisely its physical and biological destructiveness which makes it the last resort.
