The affirmative’s axiology is fatally flawed; they seek to solve deontological transgressions but fail to justify this normative ethical framework. This makes immoral action inevitable and is a reason to reject the team.
Sayre 7 (McCord, Morehead Alumni Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Philosophy, Writing for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 01/23/2007)
Moral sentiments develop through evolution, meaning that survival is the greatest ethical responsibility. If survival and any deontological claim ever clash, one has a moral obligation to choose survival.
Shermer 5 (Michael, Founder of The Skeptics Society and Editor in Chief of its magazine Skeptic. Monthly columnist for Scientific American magazine, The Science of Good and Evil)
And, deontological transgressions humanize ethics, making extinction less probable by ostracizing criminals from the rest of society.
Bromberg 9 (Sarah, Evolutionary ethicist and feminist scholar, Author of “The Evolution of Ethics: An Introduction to Cybernetic Ethics,” http://www.evolutionaryethics.com/chapter4.html, Revised edition 1999-2009)
Because the affirmatives flawed attempt to “fix the world” ensures extinction, the Alternative is to embrace the status quo as our only ethical obligation.
And the alternative solves the case in the only way possible; only over time can adaptation through natural selection evolve out the predatory genes and replicate humanitarian genes in humans indefinitely.
Shanahan 4 (Timothy, Professor of Philosophy at Loyala Marymount University, The Evolution of Darwinism, Cambridge University Press, pg 70)
