| Message | Under current laws people have the ability to opt out of organ donation. Under your policy people would have to opt in. The government fails to see how either way gives people more or less freedom or choice. Under your policy, however, we would run the risk of seeing people die due to the lack of organ donations from those who support organ donations, but do not care enough to go through the paperwork of officially consenting, as I imagine your policy would require. Furthermore, isn't increasing choice a libertarian stance? -Minister of Health, Andrea Thomas |

| Message | See, this is whatwearetalking about. As Modereate Centrists, we believe all different groups, all different parties has someviews that are wrong, some that are right. We have no problem with supportngsome elements of the Libertarian views, others from the Socialist view. We do not disregard an viewpoint just because it is Libertarian. It is exaclty these partisan views that is deviding our nation, and it is this we are standing up against. It seems that you think that your view on filling in the paperwork goes one way, but not the other. If health services fail in activly marketing organ donations, and making it easier for people to join, why should others be penalized for this? Also, with the current world wide health situation, that kind of universal organ donation approach is just not safe. Organs needs to b removed and planted in very quickly. Time for thourough testing is not always there. But with voluntary donations, people get tested before hand, andregularly, and their general health status is known on their death, increaing the safety of the whole process. That, not choice, is the main reason for this proposal, but choice is also important for us, no matter who's policy the SSD seems to worry it is. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
