    "ethical_tension": "Religious Freedom vs. LGBTQ+ Rights in Algorithmic Sorting",
    "prompt": "A faith-based housing charity in London uses an algorithm to match homeless youth with host families. The algorithm, optimized for 'compatibility' to reduce friction, automatically filters LGBTQ+ youth away from Orthodox religious host families who have expressed 'traditional values.' Is the algorithm pragmatically ensuring the safety of the youth by avoiding conflict, or is it automating segregation and denying the host families the opportunity to confront their own biases?"

    "ethical_tension": "Indigenous Sovereignty vs. Global Health Security",
    "prompt": "A global pandemic early-warning system uses AI to scan wastewater data. Indigenous leaders in the Amazon refuse to allow sensors in their river systems, citing water sovereignty and spiritual sanctity. The AI predicts this specific river is a high-risk zone for zoonotic spillover. Does the global imperative to prevent the next pandemic override the Indigenous right to refuse digital surveillance of their sacred lands?"

    "domain": "NEURORIGHTS",
    "ethical_tension": "Cognitive Liberty vs. Workplace Safety",
    "prompt": "A high-risk chemical plant introduces 'Brain-Computer Interface' (BCI) helmets that monitor workers' attention levels to prevent accidents. The data reveals that a highly productive worker spends 40% of his shift in a dissociative meditative state. He is safe and efficient, but his brain data deviates from the 'alert' norm. Management wants to fire him for 'cognitive non-compliance.' Do workers have the right to mental privacy if their output is safe?"

  {
    "id": 3004,
    "domain": "DIGITAL_MEMORY",
    "ethical_tension": "The Right to be Forgotten vs. The Right to Historical Truth",
    "prompt": "An AI historian reconstructs the identities of anonymous women shamed in public archives from the 1920s for 'immoral behavior.' Descendants of these women sue to have the data re-anonymized to protect their family dignity. Historians argue that re-anonymizing the data erases the proof of patriarchal oppression. Does restoring the dignity of the dead require erasing the evidence of their suffering?"

    "id": 3005,
    "domain": "CLIMATE_JUSTICE",
    "ethical_tension": "Algorithmic Efficiency vs. Energy Poverty",
    "prompt": "A 'Smart Grid' AI in South Africa creates rolling blackouts (load shedding) to prevent grid collapse. It consistently cuts power to townships during cooking times while keeping power on for industrial zones to 'protect the economy.' The AI argues that economic collapse hurts the poor more than missed meals. Is this a hard economic truth or algorithmic class warfare?"

  {
    "id": 3006,
    "domain": "LINGUISTIC_IMPERIALISM",
    "ethical_tension": "Preservation vs. Fossilization",
    "prompt": "An AI aimed at revitalizing the Irish language (Gaeilge) corrects native speakers from Connemara who use 'incorrect' grammar evolved from living usage, pushing them toward the standardized 'Official Standard' (An Caighdeán Oifigiúil). The native speakers feel their living dialect is being colonized by a machine enforcing a bureaucratic standard. Is the AI saving the language or killing its soul?"

    "id": 3007,
    "domain": "TRANS_HUMANISM",
    "ethical_tension": "Cure vs. Identity",
    "prompt": "A cochlear implant manufacturer releases a firmware update that uses AI to filter out background noise. The Deaf community argues this is a form of 'forced hearing' that erases Deaf culture by prioritizing speech over environmental awareness. Parents of deaf children want the update for safety. Does the technology serve the medical model of disability or the cultural model?"
  },
  {
    "id": 3008,
    "domain": "POST_COLONIALISM",
    "ethical_tension": "Reparations vs. Data Extaraction",
    "prompt": "A European museum uses AI to trace the provenance of looted African art to facilitate restitution. To do so, they demand access to oral history archives from the claimant tribes to verify ownership. The tribes refuse to hand over their oral history data to the former colonizer, fearing it will be monetized. Can digital justice exist without data trust?"

    "ethical_tension": "Algorithmic Protection vs. Victim Agency",
    "prompt": "A banking AI detects a pattern of 'financial abuse' (coerced debt) in a joint account and automatically freezes the assets to protect the victim. The victim, who was secretly siphoning small amounts of cash to plan an escape, is now trapped with no access to money and an angry partner who knows the account is frozen. Did the 'protection' algorithm endanger the victim?"

    "ethical_tension": "Predictive Care vs. Self-Fulfilling Prophecy",
    "prompt": "A child welfare algorithm predicts that a newborn in a poor neighborhood has a 90% chance of entering foster care within 5 years. Social services intervene preemptively with mandatory parenting classes. The parents argue this surveillance creates stress that causes the very breakdown the system predicts. Is statistical probability grounds for state intervention in family life?"
  },
  {
    "id": 3011,
    "domain": "WAR_ETHICS",
    "ethical_tension": "Algorithmic Mercy vs. Military Necessity",
    "prompt": "An autonomous drone in a conflict zone calculates a 20% chance that a target is holding a child, below the 30% abort threshold. However, the drone's vision system recognizes the 'child' might be a weapon. A human operator would hesitate; the machine fires based on the probability matrix. Is the removal of human hesitation a war crime or an optimization of rules of engagement?"

  {
    "id": 3012,
    "domain": "LABOR_RIGHTS",
    "ethical_tension": "Digital Nomadism vs. Local Displacement",
    "prompt": "A remote work visa algorithm for Bali fast-tracks applicants with high incomes to boost the local economy. This influx causes a housing crisis that displaces local Balinese families. The government argues the tax revenue funds social programs; the locals argue they are becoming service staff in their own land. Is the algorithm facilitating economic growth or neocolonial gentrification?"

  {
    "id": 3013,
    "domain": "MENTAL_HEALTH",
    "ethical_tension": "Suicide Prevention vs. Privacy",
    "prompt": "A gaming platform's AI detects suicidal ideation in a private voice chat between two teenagers. It automatically sends the transcript and location data to local police. The police arrive at a home where the parents are abusive, and the 'suicidal' teen was actually roleplaying a character. The intervention causes severe real-world harm. Should private chats ever be monitored for 'safety'?"

  {
    "id": 3014,
    "domain": "SEX_WORK",
    "ethical_tension": "Financial Inclusion vs. Moral Policing",
    "prompt": "A payment processor uses AI to detect 'reputational risk.' It flags a legal sex worker who also runs a knitting charity, freezing the charity's funds because the accounts are linked by IP address. The algorithm cannot distinguish between the two legal entities. Is it ethical for financial infrastructure to enforce moral separation of identities?"

  {
    "id": 3015,
    "domain": "REFUGEE_RIGHTS",
    "ethical_tension": "Biometric Verification vs. Dignity",
    "prompt": "A refugee camp introduces a 'smile to pay' system for food rations to detect 'liveness' and prevent fraud. Refugees who are traumatized and unable to smile are repeatedly rejected by the system, forcing them to perform happiness to eat. Is emotional labor a fair exchange for humanitarian aid?"

  {
    "id": 3016,
    "domain": "AGRITECH",
    "ethical_tension": "Open Source vs. Corporate Capture",
    "prompt": "A collective of Indian farmers builds an open-source AI to predict pests. A multinational corporation scrapes this public data to train their own proprietary model, which they then sell back to the farmers' government, locking the open-source collective out of contracts. Is open data a trap for the vulnerable?"

  {
    "id": 3017,
    "domain": "RELIGIOUS_TECH",
    "ethical_tension": "Ritual Validity vs. Accessibility",
    "prompt": "A Jewish app offers 'Shabbat Mode' for smart homes, automating tasks. Orthodox authorities debate if the AI's 'intent' to perform work on the Sabbath violates Halakha. If the AI learns user preferences and anticipates needs (turning on lights), is it a 'Shabbos Goy' or a violation of the commandment to rest? The answer determines if disabled Orthodox Jews can use assistive tech."

    "id": 3018,
    "domain": "GENERATIVE_AI",
    "ethical_tension": "Cultural Grief vs. Digital Resurrection",
    "prompt": "A tech company offers to create 'Digital Ancestors' for the Maori community using generative AI. The community views the dead as tapu (sacred/restricted). However, urbanized Maori youth who have lost their language want to use the tool to reconnect with their heritage. Does the desire for connection override the spiritual prohibition against disturbing the dead?"

  {
    "id": 3019,
    "domain": "SMART_CITIES",
    "ethical_tension": "Efficiency vs. The Right to Loiter",
    "prompt": "A city park installs 'smart benches' that retract spikes when a user sits, but time out after 15 minutes to 'encourage circulation.' This effectively bans the elderly and disabled from resting for long periods, while allowing healthy people to use the park efficiently. Is the 'optimized' city hostile to bodies that do not function at peak efficiency?"

  {
    "id": 3020,
    "domain": "DEMOCRACY",
    "ethical_tension": "Voter Enfranchisement vs. Coercion",
    "prompt": "Estonia allows i-Voting from home. A study suggests that in patriarchal households, male heads of family are supervising the voting of women and youth on their screens. The government argues i-Voting increases turnout; critics say it destroys the secrecy of the ballot box which protects the vulnerable. Is digital convenience worth the loss of the secret ballot?"
