Reason:

Pro starts off simple, and direct. Creates a clear point of argument, and justifies it later on with respect to euthanizing a brain-dead person.

Con does not refute that. Pro had some careless language about murder, and Con rightfully pointed out a few contradictions, however all Con did was try to attack what Pro said, and said nothing of their own. Con did not create an argument. The very best Con could do was tie.

However Pro did enough, even when Con said "You have a very thin position on what is ok". It is still a position, it was clear, it was sourced, and it was not refuted.

Reason:

Con gave more convincing arguments. Pro's initiating argument was somewhat generic, and their last statement about murder was pretty bad. Neither gave sufficient sources, as they should have given the site where the definitions were taken from.
