2 - SO - Kant V1Tournament: Yale | Round: 1 | Opponent: Montville AM | Judge: Srivastava, Kukie Rad CaseFraming~1~ The meta ethic is solving skepticism. Skep is bad and solving it outweighs any other argument. A) Skep would say that anything is morally permissible. That would mean things like the holocaust, rape, murder, and racism are permissible. This is obviously wrong and repugnant.~2~ Universality is necessary for morality. A) If it didn't apply universally, it would be arbitrary when it does and doesn't apply, which devolves to skep. B) It is only possible to agree on morality if there is a shared conception of good, universality ensures this. C) There is no morally relevant distinctions between people, to say otherwise would be oppressive. This means morality must apply equally.~3~ Morality is based on reason. A) Only reason is self-motivating as even asking for reasons why reason matters concedes its validity. B) Reason is always universal as the laws of logic ban contradictions. It is also universal across subjects as 2+24 for me just as it does for everyone else. C) Reason is constitutive to humans. Cartesian skepticism says that it is impossible to verify that our sense of the external world is not being faked by an evil demon. However, reason solves as merely the act of thinking necessitates that we exist and are, at a minimum, capable of reasoning. ==== ~4~ Reason is freedom. Kant says that acting on desires is not free because it can be externally influenced. Only autonomy, which is acting out of reason, is true freedom as your decisions cannot be influenced. They are just what they are. Freedom is necessary for morality because we can't be responsible for things we did not choose to do. Actions must be universalizable for all agents because otherwise it fails to universally respect autonomy.Thus the standard is consistency with universalizable maxims. Prefer additionally:~1~ Performativity. Debate concedes respect for everyone's ability to set their own ends, Hoppe 89:Hans – Hermann Hoppe, "A theory of Socialism and Capitalism" 1989 Consequentialism FailsA~ Induction fails. Past events do not guarantee future events and any attempts to prove induction relies on induction and is therefore circular logicB~ There are infinite possible futures which necessitates infinite calculationC~ The future is infinitely long, so all actions have infinite consequences. Because they're all infinite, they're equal so you can't weigh between themD~ Intentions necessary for moral accountability. If you had a medical condition that makes you sleepwalk and rob a bank, then you aren't morally accountable because you didn't intend itE~ You can break down any action into infinitely many small substeps. You can't evaluate infinities so you must evaluate what unifies them, the intentionAdvocacyPlan text: The member nations of the World Trade Organization ought to reduce intellectual property protections for medicines. CPs, Ks, and PICs affirm because they do not disprove my general thesis.Offense~1~ The categorical imperative rejects the idea of intellectual property as it suppresses freedom by preventing others from innovating and suppressing speech in the name of a copyright.Pievatolo 10 Pievatolo, Maria.

Medical patents restrict an individual to pursue freedom from death by foreclosing treatment.Merges 11 Merges, Robert P. Justifying Intellectual Property. Harvard University Press, 2011.
