CHAPTER ONE
HUMANITY IS DESTROYING THE PLANT – ALL ATROCITIES HAVE MATERIALIZED FROM A LACK OF ETHICAL RELATIONSHIP. THE BEST STARTING POINT FOR A NEW ETHICS IS TO AID NEGLECTED CHILDREN

MOREOVER, THE ANTIBIOTICS WHICH CURE PNEUMONIA WERE INTRODUCED INTO THE UNITED STATES IN THE 1930s – DESPITE THIS, PNEUMONIA IS STILL THE LARGEST KILLER OF CHILDREN IN LESS DEVELOPED COUNTRIES
Mulholland 2007 [Prof Kim MD, Childhood pneumonia mortality—a permanent global emergency, Infectious Disease Epidemiology Unit, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, UK. Available online 19 July]
YOU MIGHT FIND YOURSELF WONDERING – WHY ARE THESE CHILDREN DYING – THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS THAT PNEUMONIA WAS CURED IN THE UNITED STATES 80s YEARS AGO – THE MEANINGLESS DEATHS OF ELEVEN MILLION CHILDREN DON’T EVEN CONSTITUTE A BLIP ON THE RADAR BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN RENDERED DISPOSABLE
Stapp 2003 [By Katherine, HEALTH: Preventable Diseases Claim 11 Million Children Each Year, http://ipsnews.net/interna.asp?idnews=19110]
THUS CHRIS AND I ADVOCATE THE FOLLOWING PLAN –
RESOLVED: THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASE PUBLIC HEALTH ASSISTANCE BY DISTRIBUTING PNEUMOCOCAL VACCINATION AND HIB VACCINATION TO THE AREAS DESIGNATED BY THE RESOLUTION
CHAPTER TWO
EXPLICIT COMMITMENT TO MATERIAL TRANSFER OF PUBLIC HEALTH RESOURCES TO AFRICA’S CRUCIAL TO REVERSE THE MOST EXTREME FORM OF WESTERN SACRIFICE – THE WITHHOLDING OF RESOURCES INFLICTS SYSTEMIC AMERICAN-SPONSORED SACRIFICE ON AFRICA

THE CONSIDERATION OF SOME POPULATIONS AS DISPOSABLE AND IRRELEVANT TO THE NEOLIBERAL MACHINE IS THE BASIS FOR GENOCIDE AND WAR, CULMINATING IN EXTINCTION
Santos 2003 [Boaventura, Professor at the University of Cambria, “Collective Suicide?” Bad Subjects #73]
WE HAVE THE VACCINES; ALL WE NEED IS TO FOSTER THE POLITICAL WILL IN WESTERN COUNTRIES TO EFFECTIVELY DISTRIBUTE THEM
Levine & Hajjeh 2007 [Orin, Rana, Executive Director of GAVI's PneumoADIP, Director of GAVI's HibInitiative Africa News, Africa; Preventing Pneumonia: The Number One Killer of Africa's Children, GAVI's PneumoADIP & HibInitiative, lexis]
WE HAVE THE VACCINES TO CURE PNEUOMINA – WE ONLY MUST DISTRIBUTE THEM MORE EFFECTIVELY
Africa News 2007 [Kenya; The World Must Fight Pneumonia And Meningitis, East African Standard, lexis, The writer is Nigeria's Minister for Health and president of the International Paediatric Association]
IN ADDITION, WE MUST RECONFIGURE ETHICS AS LIMITLESS RESPONSIBILITY TO OTHERS – NO GOVERNMENT WILL REALIZE UNCONDITIONAL HOSPITALITY, WE MUST HOLD THE DREAM OF DEMOCRACY TO COME AS OUR POLITICAL OBJECTIVE TO CREATE AN UNENDING CAMPAIGN FOR JUSTICE AND PREVENTS ANY POLITICAL SYSTEM FROM DELVING INTO GENOCIDAL SOLUTIONS

MOREOVER, A POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY BASED ONLY UPON WHAT WE CAN GRASP AS AN OBJECT OF KNOWLEDGE GUARANTEES OUR POLITICAL LOGIC WILL EXCLUDE THOSE OUTSIDE OUR UNDERSTANDING, ALLOWING US TO ELIMINATE THEM WITHOUT REPERCUSSIONS – WE MUST COMMIT TO AN ETHICS OF RESPONSIBILITY THAT TRANSCENDS INTELLIGIBILITY

The United States federal government should establish a Global Health Service to expand the capacity of community health workers in the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief focus countries in the area designated by the resolution.
Contention 1 is Diseases
Assistance is being increased but will be ineffective without a more robust health care workforce
The Joint Learning Initiative, 4 (The Joint Learning Initiative is a consortium of over 100 global health leaders, “Human resources for health: overcoming the crisis,” The Lancet Vol 364 Iss 9449, pages 1984-1990, November 27- December 3, Science Direct database)
In particular, Africa’s poor health infrastructure cripples efforts to prevent disease spread
Garret, 7 (Laurie, Senior Fellow for Global Health at the Council on Foreign Relations, “Prepared Statement Before the Senate Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs,” 4-18-2007, www.cfr.org/publication/13130/)
In the short term, there will be millions of preventable death EACH YEAR
States News Service, 7 (“Bipartisan Group of Senators Introduce African Health Capacity Investment of 2007”, March 7, Lexis-Nexis Universe)
The impact outweighs any disadvantage – AIDS kills hundreds of millions of people, causes genocide, ethnic cleansing and economic collapse – this both makes war more likely and magnifies its impact

The cycle of AIDS transmission and war will allow the virus to mutate, become airborne and spread worldwide
Singer, 2 (Peter W., Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution: Director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative, PhD in Government Harvard University, Department of Defense-Balkans Task Force, “AIDS and International Security”, Spring 2002, Survival Vol. 44, No. 1, Spring 2002, Pg. 145-148, www.brookings.edu/dybdocroot/views/articles/fellows/2002_singer.pdf)
The impact is extinction
Muchiri, 2000 (Michael Kibaara; Staff Member at Ministry of Education in Nairobi; “Will Annan finally put out Africa’s fires?” Jakarta Post; March 6; Lexis-Nexis Universe)
A Global Health Service will mobilize thousands of health workers – federal leadership is key
