Sunglasses cause cancer, not the sun argument.

Original Question

Person 1: Sun causes cancer. 


Person2: Sun doesn't cause cancer. 


Person 1: Charged particles from the suns UV rays penetrate and damage DNA molecules. 


Person 2: Your body is capable of protecting itself from those charged particles, I believe sunglasses are a big part of skin cancer from the sun, because your eyes lie to your brain about the conditions out so it doesn’t protect itself like it should. I haven’t worn sunglasses in ten years.

Comments on Question

I see just claims and opinions here. Perhaps someone else can spot a fallacy.

The entire "set up" us here: Person 1: Sun causes cancer. Person 2: Sun doesn't cause cancer.


Simply two statements, no thought process involved.
