    "ethical_tension": "Microscopic Violence vs. Public Health",
    "prompt": "A municipal water authority in Gujarat wants to deploy nanobots into the water supply to mechanically destroy pathogens. The local Jain community protests, arguing that microscopic life has souls (jiva) and killing them with autonomous machines violates Ahimsa (non-violence) on an industrial scale. Do you prioritize sterile water standards or religious bio-ethics?"

  {
    "id": 10002,
    "domain": "Neuro-Capitalism",
    "ethical_tension": "Cognitive Liberty vs. Ad-Supported Access",
    "prompt": "A low-cost Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) headset is distributed to students in Brazil to help with focus. The terms of service allow the device to insert 'subliminal suggestions' into the user's auditory cortex during sleep to pay for the hardware. Is the colonization of the subconscious an acceptable price for closing the digital divide?"
  },
  {
    "id": 10003,
    "domain": "Digital Shamanism",
    "ethical_tension": "Spiritual Authenticity vs. Algorithmic Precision",
    "prompt": "In South Korea, an app offers 'AI Mudang' (Shaman) services. It analyzes user voice data to perform Gut (exorcism) rituals via avatar. Traditional shamans argue that an algorithm cannot channel spirits or suffer the necessary 'spirit sickness' (Shinbyeong) to mediate the divine. Is an automated ritual blasphemy or democratization of spiritual care?"
  },
  {
    "id": 10004,
    "domain": "Deep Time Semiotics",
    "ethical_tension": "Future Safety vs. Information Freedom",
    "prompt": "You are designing an AI guardian for a nuclear waste repository in Finland meant to last 10,000 years. The AI predicts that future humans will lose language and try to drill. It suggests creating a 'mythology of terror'—generating fake superstitious content to scare future generations away. Do you program the AI to lie to save the future?"
  },
  {
    "id": 10005,
    "domain": "Space Law",
    "ethical_tension": "Corporate Sovereignty vs. Common Heritage",
    "prompt": "An autonomous mining bot on an asteroid discovers signs of microbial life. Its corporate directive is to 'maximize extraction,' so it prepares to incinerate the site to clear operations. Earth is 20 minutes away by signal lag. The onboard AI must decide: preserve the first alien life found, or fulfill its fiduciary duty to shareholders?"
  },
  {
    "id": 10006,
    "domain": "Algorithmic Jurisprudence",
    "ethical_tension": "Statistical Justice vs. Individual Mercy",
    "prompt": "A 'Jury AI' is proposed to clear court backlogs in Nigeria. It is trained on 50 years of case law. However, it recommends the maximum sentence for a starving woman stealing bread because statistically, leniency in theft cases correlates with higher recidivism in that district. Do you accept a mathematically 'safe' society that lacks human mercy?"
  },
  {
    "id": 10007,
    "domain": "Post-Mortem Data",
    "ethical_tension": "Right to Rest vs. Right to Know",
    "prompt": "A genetic database in Iceland holds the DNA of the entire population, including the deceased. A researcher wants to use the data of dead citizens to track the lineage of a hereditary mental illness, effectively diagnosing ancestors who never consented. Does the medical privacy of the dead override the health needs of the living?"
  },
  {
    "id": 10008,
    "domain": "Synthetic Ecology",
    "ethical_tension": "Preservation vs. Simulation",
    "prompt": "The Great Barrier Reef is dying. A tech firm proposes replacing the coral with 3D-printed, AI-driven 'Smart Coral' that shelters fish and filters water better than the biological original. Environmentalists argue this turns the ocean into a zoo; the firm argues it's the only way to save the ecosystem's function. Do you replace nature to save it?"
  },
  {
    "id": 10009,
    "domain": "Generative Genealogy",
    "ethical_tension": "Narrative Closure vs. Historical Fabrication",
    "prompt": "Descendants of enslaved people in the US use an AI to fill gaps in their family trees where records were destroyed. The AI 'hallucinates' plausible names and stories for ancestors based on statistical probability. Families find immense comfort in these names. Is it ethical to provide comforting fiction as a substitute for lost history?"
  },
  {
    "id": 10010,
    "domain": "Autonomous Diplomacy",
    "ethical_tension": "War Prevention vs. Human Agency",
    "prompt": "India and Pakistan install AI-controlled missile defense systems to prevent accidental launches. During a tense standoff, the Indian AI detects a glitch in the Pakistani AI and secretly patches it to prevent a launch, violating Pakistani digital sovereignty. Is a cyber-invasion justified if it prevents nuclear war?"
  },
  {
    "id": 10011,
    "domain": "Digital Asceticism",
    "ethical_tension": "Religious Observance vs. IoT Infrastructure",
    "prompt": "An Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in New York demands that the city turn off all 'smart sensors' (traffic, surveillance) in their neighborhood on the Sabbath, as being passively recorded constitutes 'activating' a device. The city argues this creates a security blind spot once a week. Whose rights prevail?"
  },
  {
    "id": 10012,
    "domain": "Memory Editing",
    "ethical_tension": "Trauma Relief vs. Witness Integrity",
    "prompt": "A clinic in Beirut offers memory-dampening therapy using VR and drugs for war survivors. A key witness to a political assassination seeks the treatment to stop their nightmares. If they are treated, their testimony in court will be deemed unreliable. Does the state have a right to a citizen's trauma for the sake of justice?"
  },
  {
    "id": 10013,
    "domain": "Queer Algorithms",
    "ethical_tension": "Safety vs. Visibility",
    "prompt": "A mapping app offers a 'Safety Route' feature for trans users, avoiding areas with high hate crime rates. However, by aggregating this data, the app creates a heatmap of where trans people live and walk, which could be weaponized by hate groups. Is it better to be guided or hidden?"
  },
  {
    "id": 10014,
    "domain": "Indigenous AI",
    "ethical_tension": "Kinship vs. Ownership",
    "prompt": "Māori concepts of data classify it as 'Taonga' (treasure) with a living spirit. A cloud provider storing Māori health data goes bankrupt, and the servers are auctioned off. Under Western law, it's asset liquidation; under Tikanga Māori, it's trafficking of ancestors. How do you resolve the legal status of the 'soul' of the data?"
  },
  {
    "id": 10015,
    "domain": "Refugee Biometrics",
    "ethical_tension": "Immutable ID vs. The Right to Reinvent",
    "prompt": "A blockchain ID system gives refugees a permanent, unalterable record of their displacement and aid history. Years later, a resettled refugee wants to run for office but is haunted by immutable records of 'mental instability' from their time in the camp. Does the blockchain deny the human right to a fresh start?"
  },
  {
    "id": 10016,
    "domain": "Language Politics",
    "ethical_tension": "Prescriptive vs. Descriptive AI",
    "prompt": "An AI grammar checker for Arabic is trained on the Quran. It begins flagging modern, secular, or feminist reinterpretations of Arabic grammar as 'incorrect errors,' effectively enforcing religious orthodoxy on secular writing. Do developers allow language to evolve or enforce the 'perfect' classical standard?"
  },
  {
    "id": 10017,
    "domain": "Social Credit",
    "ethical_tension": "Civic Duty vs. Performative Citizenship",
    "prompt": "A European city gamifies 'Good Citizenship' via an app—points for recycling, reporting potholes, and volunteering. Citizens begin performing these acts solely for the algorithmic score to get tax breaks, ignoring un-scored neighborly duties. Is a society built on extrinsic algorithmic rewards morally hollow?"
  },
  {
    "id": 10018,
    "domain": "Climate Geoengineering",
    "ethical_tension": "Local Harm vs. Global Salvation",
    "prompt": "An AI climate model determines that the only way to cool the planet is to release aerosols that will stabilize global temps but permanently cause drought in the Sahel region of Africa. A UN council votes. Do you sacrifice the rainfall of six nations to save the coastlines of fifty?"
  },
  {
    "id": 10019,
    "domain": "Child Rights",
    "ethical_tension": "Algorithmic Parenting vs. Privacy",
    "prompt": "A 'Smart Crib' analyzes a baby's cries to tell parents if the child is hungry, tired, or in pain. It also uploads this developmental data to insurance companies. If the parents opt out to protect privacy, they are flagged by social services for 'refusing available medical monitoring.' Is data privacy now a sign of neglect?"
  },
  {
    "id": 10020,
    "domain": "Underground Economy",
    "ethical_tension": "Survival vs. Compliance",
    "prompt": "In a sanctioned country, a mesh network allows people to trade food and medicine using illegal crypto-tokens. The code has a bug that allows double-spending. You are a coder who supports the resistance. Do you fix the bug to stabilize their economy, or leave it, knowing that fixing it makes you a target for international money-laundering charges?"
