| Date | 21:45:49, October 07, 2007 CET | From | Kapitalist-Arbeitsfamilien Partei | To | Debating the Organ Donation Act |
| Message | Organ donations save lives for fellow Likatonians. However, the Government should force nobody to donate their organs against their will. We will support this bill for the protections of civil liberties, but we prefer that organ donations are automatically assumed unless stated otherwise in writing via a "Will." |
| Date | 16:54:30, October 08, 2007 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Organ Donation Act |
| Message | How are we forcing anyone to donate against their will? By the time we harvest the organs, they are DEAD! Why should dead people have 'rights' that trump those of the still-living? |
