| Message | It would harm civil liberties. Also, some people may have religious objections to donating organs, and it would hurt their families to see their beliefs trampled on. |
| Date | 21:16:54, August 03, 2005 CET | From | National Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Organ Donation Act of 2090 |
| Message | NO! |
| Date | 22:56:43, August 03, 2005 CET | From | Gaduridos National Party | To | Debating the Organ Donation Act of 2090 |
| Message | Surely there is a law against stealing body parts from the deceased?? |
| Date | 03:58:55, August 04, 2005 CET | From | People's Progressive Party | To | Debating the Organ Donation Act of 2090 |
| Message | We disagree with this proposal. If there is one thing that belongs to a person it is certainly the rights over their own body. |
| Date | 03:59:12, August 04, 2005 CET | From | People's Progressive Party | To | Debating the Organ Donation Act of 2090 |
| Message | We can promote donation but we do not have to force it on people. |
| Date | 04:19:53, August 04, 2005 CET | From | Totalitarian Party | To | Debating the Organ Donation Act of 2090 |
| Message | There is a law against stealing from the dead. This proposal makes it legal to take their organs. I'm moving this to vote, even though I'm horribly outnumbered. OOC: By the way, do we know what major religions are practiced in Gaduridos? The wiki says the Sausage Santa Claus was once popular, has anything replaced that? |
| Date | 18:43:29, August 04, 2005 CET | From | People's Progressive Party | To | Debating the Organ Donation Act of 2090 |
| Message | OOC: Religious demographics are a feature that is yet to be implemented in the game, its being discussed on the Forum. |
