1 - ttTournament: Grapevine | Round: 2 | Opponent: Henry Zheng | Judge: Nicky Smith The role of the ballot is to determine the truth or falsity of the resolution.1. Text – five dictionaries define negate as to deny the truth of . Text comes first – a) Controls the internal link to predictability and prep which is key for clash and substantive education b) Key to jurisdiction since the judge can only endorse what is within their burden c) Even if another role of the ballot is better for debate, that is not a reason it ought to be the role of the ballot, just a reason we ought to discuss it.2. Inclusion- Any offense can function under truth testing whereas your specific role of the ballot excludes all strategies but yours. This is bad for inclusive debates because people without every technical skill or comprehensive debate knowledge are shut out of your scholarship which turns your ROB- truth testing solves because you can do what you're good at and so can I.3. Isomorphism: ROBs that aren't phrased as binaries maximize leeway for interpretation as to who is winning offense. Scalar framing mechanisms necessitate that the judge has to intervene to see who is closest at solving a problem. Truth testing solves since it's solely a question of if something is true or false, there isn't a closest estimate. | 9/11/21 |

Every other ROB is just a reason why there are other ways to play the game but are not consistent enough with the purpose of the game to vote on, just like you don't win a basketball game for shooting the most 3s.

SO - CP - Henrietta LacksTournament: Grapevine | Round: 4 | Opponent: Sirini Karunadasa | Judge: Javier Hernandez In 1951, white doctors cultured infinitely self-replicating cells from a black woman dying of cancer named Henrietta Lacks. Since then, medical companies have used her cells to generate billions of dollars of revenue without any compensation to her family. The current state of intellectual property protection gives them no recourse.Christina Bostick, founder and managing director of Bostick Law Firm, and Kai Ryssdal, American radio journalist and the host of Marketplace, Who owns Henrietta Lacks' cells?, Jul 9, 2018, https://www.marketplace.org/2018/07/09/who-owns-henrietta-lacks-disembodied-cells/ BA PB Brackets in original card Thus the Counterplan: The United States and all other WTO member nations ought to reduce intellectual property protections for medicines in all cases except for Henrietta Lacks' cells. Instead, they should give Henrietta Lacks' family intellectual property rights over the use of her cells. It competes, cells can't be owned in the status qou so we strengthen protections, and cells count as medicine for the purpose of the debate.U.S. National Library of Medicine, Doctor of medicine profession (MD), No Date, https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/001936.htm BA PB The counterplan prevents pharmaceutical companies from unjustly profiting off of black life, and provides retributive justice for Henrietta's family.Donna M. Owens, Award-winning digital, print and broadcast journalist, Family of Henrietta Lacks Plans to Sue Pharmaceutical Companies They Say Profited from Her Cancer Cells, AUGUST 5, 2021, https://www.essence.com/news/henrietta-lacks-family-retains-ben-crump/ BA PB | 9/11/21 |
SO - NC - HobbesTournament: Grapevine | Round: 2 | Opponent: Henry Zheng | Judge: Nicky Smith SyllogismPresumption and Permissibility negate –~1~ ought implies an obligation but permissibility is a lack of one which means the neg met their burden of disproving an obligation~2~ there are infinite ways to prove a statement false which means it's more likely to be false than true~3~ safety – It's ethically safer to presume the squo since we know what the squo is, but we can't know whether the aff will be good or not if ethics are incoherentThe meta-ethic is ethical subjectivism, or that ethical statements are truth apt but moral truth varies across subjects.Prefer:~1~ Rule-following paradox—the only way to interpret rules is to have more rules to explain them—that means other frameworks are infinitely regressive and collapse into the NC.~2~ Epistemology—the way we interpret the natural world is necessarily framed by social constructs—we don't call trees trees because of some natural fact about trees. That means we can't interpret facts independent of our social constructs.~3~ Externalism fails—even if a priori normative facts exist, they're epistemically inaccessible because humans are products of their molecular biology—the mind can't derive facts independent of material, external forces like gravity.~4~ Contestation – Ethical disagreement proves subjectivism because we can be set in our moral beliefs independently of others' claims.A relative conception of moral truth with no higher power devolves into infinite violence and only the state solvesHolcombe 04 RANDALL G.

We can control what we justify but we can't control what we cause.OffenseNow negate-The aff obligates states to act – this is incoherent because it implies an authority higher than the state to constrain the sovereign. Only sovereign entities can create moral obligations, so the state can't have an obligation to act.IP protections are key to sovereigns' powers – China IP agenda provesHo 21 Matt Ho, published May 5 2021, South China Morning Post, "Why China's Intellectual property protection matters to Beijing and Washington", accessed 8/17/2021, https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3132363/why-chinas-intellectual-property-protection-matters-beijing-and, Ho has covered the China's changes since 2010 and is a former deputy Beijing bureau chief for Hong Kong Commercial Radio and a Hong Kong government international trade specialist DrPhillipsAD The US furthers – IP protection is forefront of trade agreementsCRS 21 Congressional Research Service, published January 25 2021, "Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and International Trade", accessed 8/17/2021, https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF/IF10033, The CRS is the public policy research institute of the United States Congress.

SO - skepTournament: Yale | Round: 1 | Opponent: Sam Hadiono | Judge: Keshav Dandu Prefer on neg definition choice – the aff should have defined ought in the 1ac because it was in the rez so it's predictable contestation, by not doing so they have forfeited their right to read a new definition – kills 1NC strategy since I premised my engagement on a lack of your definition. Also, better since it focuses on real world instances rather than recycling old frameworks and evaluate after the 1N so we both have one speech which is key to reciprocity.Negate:~Negate –1~ Merriam Webster defines 'member' as: "a body part or organ "but an organ can't have obligations2~ of is to "expressing an age" but the rez doesn't delineate a length of time3~ the is "denoting a disease or affliction" but the WTO isn't a disease4~ to is to "expressing motion in the direction of (a particular location)" but the rez doesn't have a location5~ reduce is to "(of a person) lose weight, typically by dieting" but IP doesn't have a body to lose weight.6~ for is "in place of" but medicines aren't replacing IP.7~ medicine is "(especially among some North American Indian peoples) a spell, charm, or fetish believed to have healing, protective, or other power" but you can't have IP for a spell.~8~ In order to say I want to fix x problem, you must say that you want x problem to exist, since it requires the problem exist to solve, which makes any moral attempt inherently immoral.~9~ To go anywhere, you must go halfway first, and then you must go half of the remaining distance ad infinitum – thus, motion is impossible because it necessitates traversing an infinite number of spaces in finite time and theory is paradoxical since it uses arguments to justify being unable to make arguments~10~ In order to find the answer to a question, you must ask if there is an answer, otherwise asking the question is pointless, but that requires asking whether or not there's an answer to that question and so forth ad infinitum – this means the quest for knowledge fails and the acquisition of truth is impossible – negate since we can't ensure resolutional truth value.Permissibility and presumption negate~1~ ought implies an obligation but permissibility is a lack of one which means the neg met their burden of disproving an obligation~2~ there are infinite ways to prove a statement false which means it's more likely to be false than true~3~ safety – It's ethically safer to presume the squo since we know what the squo is, but we can't know whether the aff will be good or not if ethics are incoherent | 9/17/21 |
