Bill: Organ Donation II
Details
Submitted by[?]: Theological Technocratic Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 2089
Description[?]:
| Purpose: To protect the individual's right to the unity of their body, while giving the government and medical facilities an adequate supply of necessary organs. When applying for a driver's license or equivalent form of government identification, each individual will be provided with a box clearly marking that they do not wish to be an organ donor; otherwise, consent is implied. This allows those with a vested interest in not donating to do so, and allows the indifferent to make a useful contribution to society. |

| Date | 10:31:04, August 01, 2005 CET | From | Progressive Marxist Party | To | Debating the Organ Donation II |
| Message | Sorry, still think it should always be compulsory. No one should be able to opt out of a duty. |
| Date | 20:43:48, August 01, 2005 CET | From | Theological Technocratic Party | To | Debating the Organ Donation II |
| Message | Yeah, but I still think this is the best compromise you'll be able to see passed for a good while. |
| Date | 21:49:43, August 01, 2005 CET | From |  Federation Under Crazy Killers -- United | To | Debating the Organ Donation II |
| Message | NO. Should be totally voluntary. I think everyone should, but they should not be forced to. |

| Message | I know this bill doesnt force, but still no. |

| Message | Why should it be voluntary? Why, if you have no opinion on the fate of your body after you pass away, should your organs be automatically condemned to uselessness? I respect that many individuals (and many religions) may wish to preserve the sanctity of their body, and that is why I believe that should be an option. But it makes no sense for the rest of the population not to donate their organs. |

| Message | Fine. I agree. Just to avoid it failing under IP and CP. |

| Message | The dead have no use for their organs unless one believes in the bodily ressurrection *glares at the Theocrats* and it can only be right that the organs which would be just another mass of rotting flesh if left in the deceased individual becomes a source of new live to viable members of the wider community. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
