Bill: The Right to Die Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberty Party
Status[?]: defeated
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: January 2470
Description[?]:
| "Currently, we expect our doctors to kill any willing "patients", this could be interpreted as anyone wanting to die and willing to pay. The Liberty Party respects their wish, but believe that if they want to follow through, they, and they alone, should be the people tying the noose. Perhaps they'll think twice. Assisted suicide should only be available to those who really are incapable of doing it themselves and deserve to die with dignity." ~Wade Kravant, Shadow Minister of Health and Social Services for the Liberty Party |

Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The right to euthanasia.

| Message | OOC: I assume the current system allows for any random person to contract with a doctor to be killed, while this new system would only allow for people who are actually sick or so old that they're suffering from just living to contract to die peacefully. Still time to change your vote. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
