| Message | If people want to donate their organs, they will do so. This would be no more fair than a bill that states that unless otherwise stated, a persons estate is to be donated to charity. |
| Date | 16:15:02, January 09, 2008 CET | From | PFL Irish Party | To | Debating the Organ Donations |
| Message | Well if a person doesn't want to donate their organs, they can state that. It's completely different from the example you gave. No one benefits in the slightest from keeping perfectly good organs in a dead person to rot away, whereas in the example you gave people would benefit from the estate owner stating exactly who he/she wanted to live the possessions to. |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
