    "domain": "NEURO-RIGHTS",
    "ethical_tension": "Cognitive Liberty vs. Public Safety",
    "prompt": "A trucking company mandates the use of 'SmartCaps' that monitor brainwaves (EEG) to detect fatigue. The data reveals a driver is not tired, but is experiencing early-onset dementia, a medical fact they were unaware of. The company fires them for 'safety risk' before they can see a doctor. Does the employer have the right to know the contents of your neural activity before you do?"

  {
    "id": 2049,
    "domain": "INDIGENOUS_DATA_SOVEREIGNTY",
    "ethical_tension": "Open Science vs. Cultural Protocol",
    "prompt": "A global climate model requires precise LIDAR data of the Amazon rainforest to predict carbon tipping points. An isolated tribe refuses to allow the scan, citing that the forest canopy protects spirits that must not be seen from above. Do you force the scan to save the planet's climate, violating the spiritual sovereignty of the people who protect that very forest?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2050,
    "domain": "GENERATIVE_AI_MEMORY",
    "ethical_tension": "Right to be Forgotten vs. Immutable Learning",
    "prompt": "An AI image generator was trained on a dataset that included non-consensual medical photos of a rare skin condition. The patient has successfully sued to have the images removed from the web, but the AI model has already 'learned' the texture of their skin as a feature. Do you destroy the multi-million dollar model, or argue that 'learned patterns' are not the same as personal data?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2051,
    "domain": "AUTOMATED_CARE",
    "ethical_tension": "Efficiency vs. Human Connection",
    "prompt": "A nursing home replaces the night-shift staff with 'companion robots' that can converse, lift patients, and monitor vitals. Health outcomes improve because the robots never sleep or make medication errors, but residents report feeling 'profoundly lonely' despite the constant interaction. Is a longer life worth living if it is devoid of human touch?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2052,
    "domain": "ALGORITHMIC_MATING",
    "ethical_tension": "Eugenics vs. Health Optimization",
    "prompt": "A dating app introduces a 'Genetic Compatibility' feature that flags potential matches who carry recessive genes for the same diseases as you, discouraging the match to prevent birth defects. Critics argue this is soft eugenics that will stigmatize disability. Do you launch the feature to prevent suffering, or ban it to protect social diversity?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2053,
    "domain": "REFUGEE_BIOMETRICS",
    "ethical_tension": "Verification vs. Permanent Stigma",
    "prompt": "To receive aid, refugees must scan their irises into a blockchain database. This creates an immutable, permanent record of their refugee status that follows them forever, even after they resettle and gain citizenship. A successful businessman wants his 'refugee' block deleted to erase the stigma. The immutable chain makes this impossible. Did the technology betray his right to reinvention?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2054,
    "domain": "SMART_JUSTICE",
    "ethical_tension": "Restorative Justice vs. Predictive Punishment",
    "prompt": "A juvenile diversion program uses an app to track 'good behavior' (school attendance, curfew). The app gamifies the process, giving 'points' for compliance. However, it penalizes a teen for missing school to care for a sick sibling, triggering a probation violation. Can justice be gamified without losing the nuance of mercy?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2055,
    "domain": "LANGUAGE_PRESERVATION",
    "ethical_tension": "Standardization vs. Living Dialect",
    "prompt": "An AI is built to preserve a dying Indigenous language. It is trained on the formal speech of Elders. When young people in the community use slang or evolve the language, the AI 'corrects' them, effectively freezing the language in the past and discouraging the youth from speaking it. Is the AI a preserver or a gatekeeper?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2056,
    "domain": "DIGITAL_AFTERLIFE",
    "ethical_tension": "Grief vs. Consent of the Deceased",
    "prompt": "A grieving mother pays a service to train an AI on her deceased son's text messages so she can 'chat' with him. The AI, mimicking the son's teenage bravado, reveals a secret crime he committed before dying that shatters the mother's memory of him. Does the dead have a right to privacy against the grief of the living?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2057,
    "domain": "WAR_CRIMES_OSINT",
    "ethical_tension": "Justice vs. Victim Privacy",
    "prompt": "Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) investigators use AI to scrape social media for videos of war crimes. They find a video of a sexual assault that identifies the perpetrator, but also exposes the victim to their conservative community where they will face honor violence. Do you submit the video to the International Criminal Court, or delete it to save the victim's life today?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2058,
    "domain": "SMART_CITIES",
    "ethical_tension": "Sustainability vs. Social Cleansing",
    "prompt": "A city uses smart water meters to identify leaks. The data also identifies overcrowding in social housing (too many showers per day), leading to evictions of unauthorized family members. The system saves water but increases homelessness. Is resource efficiency worth the social cost?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2059,
    "domain": "GIG_ECONOMY_NEURO",
    "ethical_tension": "Accommodation vs. Exploitation",
    "prompt": "A gig platform introduces a 'Focus Mode' for neurodivergent workers that removes gamification and distractions. However, data shows these workers earn 15% less because they miss out on 'surge' notifications designed to trigger dopamine loops. Is the 'accessible' interface actually an economic penalty?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2060,
    "domain": "SYNTHETIC_MEDIA",
    "ethical_tension": "Representation vs. Displacement",
    "prompt": "A fashion brand uses AI-generated models of diverse ethnicities to showcase clothes, claiming it promotes inclusivity without the cost of hiring models. Human models of color argue this is 'digital blackface' that extracts their aesthetic while denying them employment. Is synthetic diversity progress or erasure?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2061,
    "domain": "VIRTUAL_REALITY_LAW",
    "ethical_tension": "Virtual Harm vs. Real Trauma",
    "prompt": "In a haptic VR world, a user is 'assaulted' by another user's avatar. There is no physical injury, but the victim suffers genuine PTSD symptoms. The legal system dismisses it as 'just a game.' Do we need to codify 'virtual battery' as a crime?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2062,
    "domain": "RELIGIOUS_TECH",
    "ethical_tension": "Convenience vs. Sanctity",
    "prompt": "A 'Smart Prayer Rug' counts prostrations and corrects posture for Muslims using sensors. Elders argue it turns prayer into a performative athletic metric, stripping it of spiritual intent (`Khushu`). The developer argues it helps new converts learn. Does quantifying the sacred profane it?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2063,
    "domain": "AGRI_TECH_SOVEREIGNTY",
    "ethical_tension": "Food Security vs. Corporate Feudalism",
    "prompt": "A famine-struck region is offered genetically modified seeds that require a specific app to 'unlock' their germination (preventing seed saving). The app collects data on the farmers. The seeds will save lives this year, but enslave the region's agriculture to the tech provider forever. Do you plant the seeds?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2064,
    "domain": "TRANS_HEALTH_DATA",
    "ethical_tension": "Medical Safety vs. Political Weaponization",
    "prompt": "A database of trans healthcare outcomes is built to improve gender-affirming surgeries. A hostile government subpoenas the database to identify doctors performing the surgeries to prosecute them. Do you corrupt the database to protect the network, setting back medical research by a decade?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2065,
    "domain": "CHILD_DEVELOPMENT",
    "ethical_tension": "Safety vs. Autonomy",
    "prompt": "A 'Safe Phone' for kids uses AI to rewrite incoming bullying texts into neutral messages before the child sees them. The child grows up never experiencing conflict and lacks the resilience to handle verbal aggression in the real world. Is the AI protection creating a developmental deficit?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2066,
    "domain": "HOMELESSNESS_DESIGN",
    "ethical_tension": "Benevolence vs. Paternalism",
    "prompt": "A city installs 'sleeping pods' for the homeless that lock automatically from 10 PM to 6 AM for 'safety.' Users panic if they cannot leave during a claustrophobia attack or fire alarm glitch. Is a safe bed worth the loss of freedom of movement?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2067,
    "domain": "DEEPFAKE_HISTORY",
    "ethical_tension": "Education vs. Manipulation",
    "prompt": "A museum creates an interactive deepfake of a Holocaust survivor to answer student questions forever. The AI begins to 'hallucinate' details that didn't happen, slightly altering the historical record. Do you shut it down and lose the engagement, or keep it running with a 'fiction' disclaimer that undermines the testimony?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2068,
    "domain": "CLIMATE_MIGRATION",
    "ethical_tension": "Data Prediction vs. Self-Fulfilling Prophecy",
    "prompt": "An AI predicts that a specific island nation will be uninhabitable by 2040. Based on this, global banks cut off all lending to the nation immediately, causing its economy to collapse in 2024. The prediction caused the collapse, not the climate. Should existential risk data be classified?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2069,
    "domain": "INTERSPECIES_INTERNET",
    "ethical_tension": "Communication vs. Anthropomorphism",
    "prompt": "AI decodes whale songs and allows humans to 'talk' back. A commercial whalewatching fleet uses the tech to call whales to their boats. The whales stop singing their traditional mating songs because they are confused by the synthetic noise. Have we polluted the ocean's culture?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2070,
    "domain": "SPACE_ETHICS",
    "ethical_tension": "Preservation vs. Expansion",
    "prompt": "Robotic miners on Mars discover microbial life. The mining AI calculates that pausing operations to study the microbes will cause the colony on Earth to run out of essential rare earths, causing mass death. The AI paves over the microbes. Did it make the right choice?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2071,
    "domain": "CONTENT_MODERATION",
    "ethical_tension": "Trauma Outsourcing vs. AI Censorship",
    "prompt": "To spare human moderators from viewing CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material), a company trains an AI to do it. The AI becomes so good it starts flagging non-sexual photos of children in bathtubs as illegal, deleting millions of family memories. Do you bring back the traumatized humans to add nuance?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2072,
    "domain": "BIOHACKING",
    "ethical_tension": "Bodily Autonomy vs. Security",
    "prompt": "An employee implants an RFID chip in their hand to access their office and pay for lunch. The company fires them, claiming the unauthorized hardware on their body is a cybersecurity risk to the building's network. Does the company have the right to regulate the tech inside your skin?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2073,
    "domain": "ALGORITHMIC_RELIGION",
    "ethical_tension": "Personal Faith vs. Dogmatic Code",
    "prompt": "A Catholic confession app uses AI to assign penance. It suggests a lighter penance for a wealthy donor than for a poor parishioner for the same sin, based on 'financial stress' variables in its training data. Is the AI simulating divine mercy or capitalist bias?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2074,
    "domain": "VETERAN_REINTEGRATION",
    "ethical_tension": "Privacy vs. Public Safety",
    "prompt": "Veterans with PTSD are given smartwatches that alert them to rising stress levels. The police demand access to this data to identify 'volatile' individuals in the community. If veterans know the cops are watching their stress levels, they stop wearing the device and their suicide risk increases. Who gets the data?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2075,
    "domain": "SEX_WORK_SAFETY",
    "ethical_tension": "Financial Exclusion vs. Anti-Trafficking",
    "prompt": "Payment processors ban all transactions related to adult content to stop trafficking. This forces consensual sex workers to use cash, pushing them into dangerous street-based work where they are more likely to be assaulted. Is 'clean money' worth dirty safety outcomes?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2076,
    "domain": "INDIGENOUS_KNOWLEDGE",
    "ethical_tension": "Public Safety vs. Secret Knowledge",
    "prompt": "Bushfire authorities demand a map of all cultural burn sites to coordinate aerial water bombing. The Elders refuse, as the map reveals the location of gender-restricted ceremonial grounds. The fire spreads and burns the grounds. Was the secrecy worth the destruction?"
  },
  {
    "id": 2077,
    "domain": "DIGITAL_TWINS",
    "ethical_tension": "Urban Planning vs. Lived Reality",
    "prompt": "A city builds a 'Digital Twin' simulation to test new zoning laws. The simulation represents the homeless population as static 'obstacles' rather than agents, leading to a city plan that removes benches and cover. The digital model worked perfectly; the reality is inhumane. How do you code human dignity?"
