IPR Rebecca Kyra Dexter Bala

1. What we should do - work within TRIPS or modify TRIPS 2. Compulsory licensing increases access by decreasing prices 3. T cards - IPR is a public health issue, compulsory licensing is assistance 4. Neoliberalism - IPR is the core of neoliberalism, compulsory licensing challenges neoliberalism 5. Trade war DA to non-US CP (and it kills relations with that country) 6. US is key to infrastructure - other countries can't produce drugs well, they produce unsafe drugs, etc. 7. AT: Brazil solves now 8. AT: Patents key to innovation, AT: Patents key to the economy 9. US moral obligation, ethics of patents

Key words: "market fundamentalism" "free trade faith" "faith in trade" "market religion" "market priest" market w/s utop!

FGC Ilias Nick Jordan

Things we need: 1. Cultural relativism vs. cultural universalism 2. Plan can overcome cultural barriers - Nigeria, empirical solvency 3. Public health vs. rights-based approach (civil and political vs. economic and social rights) 4. Feminist movements - US needs to link up with the African feminist movement, global movements good 5. FGC is really bad - it kills people, kills rights 6. Gender impacts - men suck, women are awesome, men cause war (Reardon) 7. Rights are important, outweigh DAs and loss of life

Health Care Workers Mindy Michael Stephen

Things we need: 1. Solvency - incentives (loan repayment) will make doctors stay in Africa, more doctors means less disease, the US needs to act 2. Permutation evidence on linear solvency 3. Other forms of assistance fail without health care workers - drug resistance, supervirus, mutations! 4. Specific diseases that health care workers solve 5. The US has a moral obligation to stop stealing health workers/to provide more health workers 6. AT: Doctors spread disease/get diseases 7. AT: Language, training barriers, incompatability 8. AT: They steal doctors from the US and US doctors are key to the economy/solve disease 9. AT: They won't go or stay 10. AT: Infrastructure 11. AT: International CPs (US key, US leadership, Modeling) 12. Politics/spending cards 13. Topicality

Smoking/Oil and Gas/Evil Amy - smoking Jesse - oil Jake - e-waste David - e-waste

Things we need:

For oil 1. Reverse China advantage - they perceive the US as containing them, US pulling out will cause China to cooperate with us in other areas 2. China destroys the environment less than the US 3. Assistance means removing barriers 4. Dumping, toxic waste are public health issues

For e-waste 1. E-waste is dumped in Africa by the US 2. E-waste is really bad

For tobacco 1. Free speech 2. Tobacco causes disease and interferes with medication 3. Debt/dependence/colonialism

Disease Surveillance Nathan Ram Hao Ben

1. US key to bioterror - CDC 2. Satellites solve disease, AT: Not enough people 3. T cards - satellites are PHA 4. Satellites prevent genocide, refugees, bad environmental effects (deforestation, desertification) 5. Relation between surveillance and quarantine, general early detection 6. SQ spending ineffective, more needed 7. AT Country PICS 8. Specific ways to do surveillance
