  • This house regrets the deinstitutionalisation of mental health treatment.

    Infoslide

    The deinstitutionalisation of mental health treatment refers to the transition of care away from acute care to community-based care. Acute care refers to care occurring within a hospital (or ‘asylum’) where patients are admitted, sometimes involuntarily, and reside in the hospital for the duration of their treatment. Community based care refers to non-residential treatment, typically occurring within outpatient clinics or the patient’s own home. Relative to acute care, community care is less intense, occurring at most a few times a week, as opposed to every day. Since 1950, the number of UK acute beds has reduced from 150,000 to 27,000.

  • This House, as Dr. House, would break into the house

    Infoslide

    Dr. House is a doctor treating a patient. He cannot determine how to treat the patient, and firmly believes that the patient is hiding information that would be necessary for determining their condition and saving their life. Thus, he believes that the only way to find this information is to break into the patient's house.

  • This House prefers a world with the existence of RobSpear.

    Infoslide

    RobSpear is a technology that allows individuals to choose to sacrifice a duration of their lifespan for a substantial amount of wealth relative to their socioeconomic status. This technology can be used at any point in an individual's life given their consent, and the amount of lifespan sacrificed is proportional to the wealth demanded. An individual dies immediately after using RobSpear if they demand too much wealth relative to both their lifespan and socioeconomic status.

  • This House believes that the "use of AI for therapeutic purposes" has done more harm than good.

    Infoslide

    For the purposes of this debate, the "use of artificial intelligence (AI) for therapeutic purposes" refers to the use of computational systems, algorithms, and machine learning to perform tasks that traditionally require human intelligence. Increasingly, AI has been used in areas such as diagnostics, treatment planning, and even the delivery of therapies - for example, through chatbots, virtual therapists, and applications that offer cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or crisis support.

  • This house, as a transgender individual in Iran, would cooperate with the government’s legal pathway for transition

    Infoslide

    In Iran, both trans men and trans women can obtain legal recognition only through a state-controlled and deeply invasive process that mandates psychiatric evaluation, court approval, and gender-affirming surgery—often involving sterilization. While the government may subsidize some of these procedures and recognized individuals receive updated documents and face less police harassment, the system reflects a long-standing institutional approach that treats trans identity within a medicalized and corrective framework.

  • This house believes that the validation of Philippine herbal plants should shift from the Western biomedical pipeline to participatory ethnopharmacology as the primary framework.

    Infoslide

    <div><font color="#000412" face="gg sans, Noto Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="white-space-collapse: break-spaces;"><div style="">The Western biomedical validation framework includes pre-clinical and clinical methods such as laboratory assays, phytochemical and toxicity testing, animal studies, pharmacological profiling, and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in humans.&nbsp;</div><div style="">Participatory ethnopharmacology is a framework for validating herbal plants with medicinal potential that documents how plants are prepared and used in communities, records healer and patient testimonies, and tracks health outcomes over time. In this framework, indigenous knowledge and community experience sit on equal footing with pharmacological testing, meaning that longstanding use and cultural validation can serve as sufficient evidence of safety and efficacy even without completing the full Western biomedical pipeline.</div></span></font></div>

  • THBT medical institutions should adopt the progressive qualification criteria as opposed to the classical qualification criteria when awarding treatment

    Infoslide

    Classical qualification criteria refer to the pre-established medical metrics used to determine which patients should receive treatments that are resource- or cost-intensive. These criteria generally aim to prioritise patients with the highest likelihood of a good prognosis and meaningful extension of life. For example, in organ transplantation, candidates with active infections, cancer, advanced age, or severe comorbidities are typically excluded. Similarly, access to dialysis may be restricted for older patients with advanced HIV or diabetes, as their long-term outcomes are often poor. Lifestyle choices may also be considered, with higher priority sometimes given to individuals whose illness was not directly the result of avoidable behaviours such as substance abuse or poor adherence to treatment. Progressive qualification criteria refer to medical decision-making frameworks that focus on broader social and ethical considerations when allocating resource-intensive treatments. Under this approach, priority might be given to patients from previously marginalised groups who have historically had limited access to healthcare, to individuals who play a significant role in supporting or uplifting their communities, or to those with multiple dependants who would be severely affected by their loss.
