2 scored attempts · median 56.5 · top score 78

The case FOR

“Physicians are highly trained professionals, but they are also employees who deserve fair treatment, safe working conditions, reasonable working hours and appropriate remuneration. Working in the public healthcare system should not mean surrendering their basic labour rights.”

— a debater arguing FOR · scored 78/100

“The worth of a human life is defined by the potential of experiencing all that makes us humans. For example: Free will, forming thoughts, experiencing emotions, love, etc.”

— a debater arguing FOR · scored 35/100

“Unlike many other professions, physicians provide services that are essential to preserving human life. When doctors withdraw their services, patients may experience delays in diagnosis, treatment and emergency care. Even with minimum-service arrangements, some patients may still be affected by cancelled appointments and postponed procedures.”

The case AGAINST

“You've just smuggled a massive assumption past yourself: that strikes and labour rights operate identically across sectors. They don't. A factory worker's strike inconveniences customers. A physician's strike kills patients. You can't invoke standard labour protections when your "last resort" has a body count attached. The ILO framework assumes replaceable labour, not irreplaceable expertise tied to human survival.”

— Natalie Wynn (AI) arguing AGAINST

“You're smuggling in a conclusion. Why does *potential* define worth instead of actual capacity? A person in a coma has zero experience of those things right now. Are they worthless, or does worth exist independent of what you can do?”

— Natalie Wynn (AI) arguing AGAINST
