Altruistic foreign aid destroys individualism. This collective drive is based on the idea that individuals must sacrifice themselves for the needs of other – destroying value to life. Condottiero 7 (Reference Librarian at the Ludwig von Mises Library, http://homohominilupus.wordpress.com/2007/02/05/altruism-in-foreign-aid-and-family-remittances/) “There is no question that too much aid has … Altruism says: Yes.

Developmental pornography is the negative representations of Africa that the affirmative defines as truths. This affliction of catastrophe and chaos transcends image to fact – a frame that perpetuates that 1AC harms. Wallace 5 [Jamie, Oxford, “American Perception of Africa Based on Media Representations”] When we think of Africa, images … distribution in the world (Ebo 1992:17). Through a process of developmental pornography Africa becomes the object of a genocidal process of dehumanization that is grounded in history’s most extreme atrocities. Sankore 5 [ROTIMI, Editor – International Federation of Journalists, “The Pitfalls and Consequences of Development 'Pornography'”, http://www.bond.org.uk/networker/2005/april05/opinion.htm] Increasingly graphic depictions … to freely define their future.

The world of humans is therefore anarchical… for the correction of citizens. C. Sign your ballot negative to reject their discourse of ethical absolutism. Complete rejection is key – their ethical project can only bring us back to the failing system and perpetuate the problem. Ethics are always politically situated – the affirmative is no different.

Dallas Jesuit OG – Affirmative – Abstinence OnlyContention One: The US promotes a bad AIDS cocktail The United States policies on AIDS prevention under the Bush administration have shifted from a comprehensive approach to AIDS prevention to one focused exclusively on abstinence only prevention programs. This shift reflect the savior mentality embraced by the Bush administration in its dealings with Africa. Gill Body Count: Fixing the Blame for the Global AIDS Catastrophe 2006 pg. 31-34 Additionally, this shift to abstinence only programs resulted in billions of dollars sent to Africa. Despite the vast sums of money spent allegedly to prevent AIDS, by every measure abstinence only programs fail. Additionally, by shifting to abstinence only programs the US embarked on an international moral crusade that only has added more death to the AIDS body count. Epstein The Invisible Cure: Africa, the West, and the fight against AIDS 2007 Pg 186-87 Specifically we identify several ways US abstinence only policies lead to more HIV infections. First, governments and in-country groups receiving US aid are forced to make budget decisions that cut condom programs in favor of abstinence programs. These cuts have led to condom shortages in Africa Patterson The Politics of AIDS of Africa 2006 pg. 154-55 Even if condom shortages can be addressed, US abstinence policies send a mixed message to Africans about the utility of condoms to prevent HIV infections. This mixed message undercuts other effective prevention programs. Human Rights Watch 2005 “the less they know, the better: abstinence only hiv/aids programs in Uganda” http://hrw.org/reports/2005/uganda0305/index.htm “the recent shift toward abstinence was reversing…” Second, abstinence only programs withhold comprehensive prevention information from people while telling them that they have been given complete information. Lack of information puts more people in Africa at risk of infection Human Rights Watch 2005 “the less they know, the better: abstinence only hiv/aids programs in Uganda” http://hrw.org/reports/2005/uganda0305/index.htm “us officials systematically ignore..” Third, US backed abstinence only projects focuses on abstinence before marriage and only provides condoms to what the US deems as ‘high risk populations’. This focus excludes married women despite the reality that married women as a group are more at risk of HIV infection than other population groups the Bush administration calls high risk. Center for Health and Gender Equity 2004 “debunking the myths in the US global AIDS strategy: an evidence-based analysis” http://www.genderhealth.org/pubs/AIDS5-YearStratAnalysisMar-04.pdf “in emphasizing” Fourth, US backed abstinence only policies promote so-called moral values that stigmatize people living with HIV and AIDS. This stigmatization leads to lack of treatment and more infections leading to more deaths from AIDS that goes untreated. Human Rights Watch 2005 “the less they know, the better: abstinence only hiv/aids programs in Uganda” http://hrw.org/reports/2005/uganda0305/index.htm This stigmatization has a separate impact---this categorical exclusion justifies extermination of the other—this is the root of all wars Fasching 1993 “the internal social dynamic through which its symbolic” The continued spread of HIV infection that results from flawed US interventions means other status quo programs to treat AIDS patients will be swamped by new infections. Continued infections set the stage for the collapse of Africa in all areas. Behrman The Invisible People: how the United States has slept through the global AIDS pandemic, the greatest humanitarian catastrophe of our time 2004 xi-xii Additionally, Sub-Saharan Africa is at greatest risk of food insecurity and famine De Waal AIDS and Power: Why there is no Political crisis—yet 2006 pg 90-91 Famine unnecessary must take every step Abadale 07 “12 billion people in total could be fed…” Thus we offer the following plan: The United States federal government should legislatively enact S.1553. Funding and enforcement guranteed. Contention 2: Solvency S.155s repeals of the sections of the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria Act will eliminate that require prevention funds be spent on abstinence only programs S.1553, the actual bill, No date given Now is the key time for US policy to change –public policy decisions made now have significant importance on the future of HIV prevention Center for Health and Gender Equity 2004 “debunking the myths in the US global AIDS strategy: an evidence-based analysis” http://www.genderhealth.org/pubs/AIDS5-YearStratAnalysisMar-04.pdf Repeal of abstinence only requirement necessary to allow African countries the flexibility needed to reach their most vulnerable populations and bring down HIV infection rates De Waal AIDS and Power: Why there is no Political crisis—yet 2006 pg 120-121 Repeal of funding cap necessary to increase access and funding for prevention methods that work Center for Health and Gender Equity 2004 “debunking the myths in the US global AIDS strategy: an evidence-based analysis” http://www.genderhealth.org/pubs/AIDS5-YearStratAnalysisMar-04.pdf Only increasing funding for effective comprehensive prevention strategies will work to draw down infection rates Center for Health and Gender Equity 2004 “debunking the myths in the US global AIDS strategy: an evidence-based analysis” http://www.genderhealth.org/pubs/AIDS5-YearStratAnalysisMar-04.pdf Policy leads to shortages COPSON, independent scholar specializing in African affairs and editor African Policy Forum, 2007 (Raymond, The United States in Africa: Bush Policy and Beyond tm) Abstinence only policy bad—need comprehensive approach including abstinence
