Contention Two: Human Exploitation

However, during this development process, the lack of formal internation regulations for human subject clinical testing creates a race to the bottom at the expense of African rights and lives

This abuse is rooted in a derisive history of human experimentation: the “doctors” of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study who watched their patients die in order to study the progression of the disease are no different than the “doctors” who experimented in 15,000 Ugandan AIDS patients in order to develop so-called “prevention measures”

The utilitarian and dehumanizing mentality of the Tuskegee and Ugandan AIDS researchers are no different than those of Nazi researchers who inflict unimaginable suffering on human subjects in the name of scientific advancement

Additionally, the silence of the medical establishment to recognize this abuse for what it is, is nothing short of complicity with the Nazi ideology

PLAN:
In order to substantially increase public health assistance to the topically designated areas, the United States federal government should amend the Common rule for the protection of human subjects to include the principles and benchmarks of the Fair Benefits Framework to be used in all government funded and sponsored pharmaceutical drug trials conducted in the topically designated areas. We reserve the right to clarify.

Contention Three: Solvency
The Fair Benefits Framework solves the faults of current clinical trials by guaranteeing benefits to the entire community, rather than just those that can afford it, empowering African countries in negotiations through collaborative partnerships and ensuring transparency in the human subject clinical trial process

And, this uniquely checks back exploitation of human subject populations – Multiple reasons

El Setouhy et al 2004 (Maged, Department of Community, Environmental and Occupational Medicine at Ain Sham’s University, “Moral Standards for Research in Developing Countries: From ‘Reasonable Availability’ to ‘Fair Benefits’”, The Hastings Center Report, Vol. 34, No. 3. (May – June., 2004), pp. 17-27)

Additionally, the genealogical analysis of human experimentation in the 1AC acts as the only means to alter the current political system without either erasing our historical transgressions or promising unachievable utopian fulfillment

Finally, this genealogy is key to understanding the ills of the status quo, thereby giving us the tools to cure them – we must recognize ourselves as historically situated to create sound policies

Contention 4: Framework

Any negation must present both a policy option and a geneological analysis of that option. This is net beneficial for 4 reasons:

1) Competitive Equity – Ensuring that both sides present similar methods of evaluation checks side bias

2) Ground – The negative has an infinite number of options, we only require that they present their argumentation with a specific form of analysis attatched to it. Counterplans, DAs, Case Args and Ks with a policy alternative are all viable.

3) Topic - Specific Education – Our framework ensures analysis of the topic is not superficial to only status quo problems, but that the underlying and historical causes of faulty public health assistance are evaluated as well. Any other framework only skims the surface of education.

4) Genealogy – Our genealogy evidence provides a unique context from which to evaluate the round and acts as a disadvantage to any competing framework. In order for them to win their framework they must either prove geneaology is bad or that it is unnecessary to understand the positions presented by the negative.

Additionally, we will argue that the Affirmative reserves the right to choose the round’s framework. This is best for three reasons:

1) Fairness – Aff choice preserves the value of the 1AC. Allowing the negative to choose the framework moots our entire first speech act, giving them a 2 to 1 constructive advantage. This is a unique strategy and the time skew that would merit rejection.

2) Predictability – The affirmative is tied to their contention for framework in the 1AC. There is no way to predict the multiple shifts in advocacy and strategy that result form a shift in framework. A lack of predictable limits destroys debate, in that competition is not possible if no one is prepared.

3) Education – Having a set framework from the beginning of the round allows us to focus on the merits of the plan and have more substantive debates. This increases topic knowledge and overall education, which is the purpose of debate as a whole.
