Resolved: In the context of innovation, the proactionary principle ought to be valued above the precautionary principle.
Could you get through a dangerous intersection that has no stoplights without harm? Maybe. But maybe not. Because of the high risk involved with driving through this intersection we place a roundabout, stop signs, or stoplights to prevent harm to people. It may be a restriction of the freedom to ‘drive right through the intersection,’ but the threat is great enough for a government to get involved and place the lights there. On a bigger scale, the precautionary principle is the stoplight to the speeding car of innovation, so we stand resolved: in the context of innovation, the proactionary principle ought to be valued above the precautionary principle.
