UV1AC—-Util—-Policy/KThe standard is maximizing expecting well being.1~ Actor specificity—-A~ Aggregation – every policy benefits some and harms others, which also means side constraints freeze action.—-B~ No act-omission distinction – choosing to omit is an act itself – governments actively decide not to act so there is no omission3~ Extinction first under any framework:—-A~ It precludes the possibility of any kind of moral value – we can’t confer value onto anything if we’re not alive.4~ Only consequentialism explains degrees of wrongness—if I break a promise to meet up for lunch, that is not as bad as breaking a promise to take a dying person to the hospital. Only the consequences of breaking the promise explain why the second one is much worse than the first. Intuitions outweigh—they’re the foundational basis for any argument because humans philosophize – we’d reject a fw that justified racism even if it was "logical".1AC—-Theory~ 1AR theory –—-A~ AFF gets it because otherwise the neg can engage in infinite abuse, making debate impossible.
