1、精选优质文档-倾情为你奉上反方一辩:Respected judicators, Ladies and gentlemen, good evening!In the first part of my speech, I would like to make my rebuttal. Patents do not costs lives, they save more.Our government side have proposed a radical solution to their problem: they want to ignore intellectual property, on
2、e of our most important constructs to encourage innovation. On the opposition, we believe the status quo of allowing a medicine company to patent something and profit from it is necessary for them to have an incentive and ability to create life-saving medicines now and in the future, and it is savin
3、g lives in the long-term that concerns us.Now Id like to provide my statements. This house would not abolish patents for life-saving medicines. For the first reason, it takes away the Incentive to Produce Life-saving medicines.Ron Pollack said,The pharmaceutical industrys repetitious cry that resear
4、ch and development would be curtailed if medicine prices are moderated is extraordinarily misleading.Yes, research and development costs money. Yet only 14% of pharmaceuticals budgets go to research and development. Reports have linked high medicine prices to advertising, profits and enormous execut
5、ive salaries. The report documents that medicine companies are spending more than twice as much on marketing, advertising, and administration.”Firms are incentivized to undertake research in life-saving drugs because now they have a guaranteed return on their R&D investment. Regardless of the course
6、 of drug production and distribution they will be profit from their research.In addition , Scientists are principally motivated by the desire for peer recognition and also by the fact that they want to have achieved something more with their lives than reduce some teenagers pimples by 30%. We are no
7、t dissuading research into live-saving illnesses were invigorating it by offering inciting profit that is tied to results and is cost-effective.Creating a brand new medicine requires enormous amounts of money and failed attempts, and therefore involves a large amount of risk. If a person cant be gua
8、ranteed some kind of control or return to that risk and expense, they are unlikely to want to invest in it. In particular, if a medicine company can make more money by patenting medicines that cure hair loss, they will take that option.For the second aspect, consequences of the loss of incentives is
9、 awful.Medicine companies are trying to develop cures for cancer, diabetes and more, and will likely want to develop more cures for illnesses that come up in the future, as they did for swine flu, if they can get a return on the investment. If there is not a significant return to investment, a compa
10、ny will not bother to continue to research and develop these medicines. Even if the current medicines were released for generic development, lack of future medicines would cost far more lives in the long run, and save money on alternative treatments.Furthermore, most things that cause illness, such
11、as viruses and bacteria, develop so that they can resist medicines. We have seen this in the case of the increased ineffectiveness of antibiotics. Prop wants to change the focus of medicine production from the development of new medicines to the cheaper production of medicines that already exist. Th
12、is will happen because any start-up company or investor in the medicines industry will see that it is cheaper to simply create the medicines, rather than put money into research and development, which is the most expensive part of the medicines creation process. If there is a greater focus on this,
13、then less new medicines will be created to combat the illnesses. This structure begins to look very flawed as the illnesses develop resistances to old medicines. There needs to be a continuing incentive to create new medicines for any illness, not to simply focus on old medicines being created in la
14、rger, cheaper amounts. It is worth slightly more expensive medicines if new innovation is constantly able to happen.In conclusion, if we abolish those patents,no one would continue researching and developing new medicines,thus,abolishing patents for life-saving medicines seems to save more lives at the beginning, it would kill more lives in the long run.专心-专注-专业
