"The Great Debate" is an innovative song by the progressive metal band Dream Theater dealing with the topic of stem cell research. It opens with various sound bytes of individuals' beliefs and opinions concerning this contentious topic. Both sides of this debate are represented lyrically, and the band challenges the listener repeatedly with the chorus phrase- "Are you justified in taking life to save life?" and "Do we look to our Unearthly Guide?...or to white coat heros, searching for a cure?" The song was originally called "Conflict at Ground Zero" but was changed because of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States of America.
