Resolved: In the context of innovation, the proactionary principle ought to be valued above the precautionary principle.
In the early 1900s, Upton Sinclair wrote a book titled The Jungle, in which he revealed the dangerous and disgusting environment of American meat packing. “Almost as an afterthought, Sinclair included a chapter on how diseased, rotten, and contaminated meat products were processed, doctored by chemicals, and mislabeled for sale to the public. He wrote that workers would process dead, injured, and diseased animals after regular hours when no meat inspectors were around.” Sinclair’s revelations on the conditions of these factories led to necessary regulations that protect both you and me. In the same way, we often need barriers to protect the public, barriers offered by the precautionary principle. I stand in negation to the resolution resolved: in the context of innovation, the proactionary principle ought to be valued above the precautionary principle.
