Well, if you want them to be, the try this:
1: They, if used properly, can help many people with simple tasks, like getting things that might be too high for them
2: They can be used in many different and useful ways, like even being a substitute for a service dog
3: they are just really fun!
However, if you support the other side of the debate, then make sure to include that there have been certain accidents with them (painful ones)...
Hope this helped a little!
