Are all cultures equally valid morally?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Are all cultures equally valid morally?". Your opponent's style: Christopher Hitchens

You said Governments should cap the prices of live-saving drugs

Your insistence on capping drug prices is a grave error. Price controls inevitably lead to shortages and stifle the very innovation that delivers life-saving treatments. When profits are capped, pharmaceutical companies simply lack the incentive and capital to invest billions in risky R&D for new drugs, 90% of which fail.[1][2] This isn't theoretical; we're already seeing reduced R&D and fewer new drug approvals due to such policies.[3][4][1] Do you truly advocate for fewer cures in the pipeline?

But people are in misery think about your mom is dying and you want to reach drugs but because of the price you can'T buy it

A heartbreaking scenario, indeed. But sacrificing future innovation for immediate affordability is a false dilemma. Drug development is a colossal gamble; only about 10-12% of drugs entering trials succeed, costing billions per successful medicine.[1][2][3] Capping prices simply deters the investment needed to discover the next generation of treatments that could save your mother, or mine.[4][5][6] Would you rather have no cure at all?
