CP - Pharma Only - CNDI 2024

Pharma ONLY CP
Notes
Another example of a PIC, where the neg only tries to solve one of the advantages and impact turn the other. In this case, the CP solves the pharma advantage, but will go for Hege Bad on case.
The aff must use their hege good offense from the impact file and the aff case.
Neg
1nc
Text: The United States federal government should substantially increase its use of injunctions as the presumptive remedy for violations of valid medically related patents.
That solves the pharma advantage.
PICs Good
PICs good
1. Predictable clash---generates in depth debate over the core controversies of the 1AC
2. Rigorous research---requires the aff to defend their proposal---the alternative to which is lazy plan writing and researching
3. Advocacy---they should be able to defend every part of the 1AC, not just parts of it---their interpretation makes them bad advocates
4. Aff choice---they read it, so they should be forced to defend it---that proves it’s predictable
5. Logic---only logical to do the CP if it’s better and requires less action
Aff
PICs Bad
PICs a Voting Issue
--- PICing out of small parts of the plan make it impossible to generate substantial offense because they steal the aff, which ruins ground.
--- they’re also not predictable and infinitely regressive because they justify tiny word pics
Reading the net benefit as a DA solves their offense
