| Message | The real answer to this problem is the development of top-notch hospitals and hospice care systems. Melanie Koffenbaum (Leader of the JMU) |

| Message | "No, actually that won't solve the problem. If someone is on his or her death bed, there isn't much the hospitals can do. And further still, the right to death belongs to the people themselves. It is their lives, not yours." -Raamiah Galgenstrick, Chairman of the GJA Foreign Minister of the SJHB |

| Message | "It is not their life, or my life, or your life; all our lives belong to G-d, it is His place to decide when we shall enter and leave this world not ours." -- Nesí Hamdiná Tamir Kirschenbaum |

| Message | "Not everyone believes in God. Those who don't shouldn't be penalized by other men. In fact, if I am not mistaken, your Bible clearly says several times that it is not your job as believers to root out the non-believers or enforce "God's law" on them, because they will "all receive their true and just judgement in the end." Maybe you should heed the words of your own religion." -Raamiah Galgenstrick, Chairman of the GJA Foreign Minister of the SJHB |
| Date | 18:09:13, April 16, 2008 CET | From | Ma'avak | To | Debating the GJA Euthanasia - 10.22.2561.AD |
| Message | "The Torah teaches that all life is sacred and all are created in the image of the Lord, for us to introduce, as this bill is, state sanctioned murder, would be a direct affront to the most important laws we live by. You are correct in that not everyone belives in G-d and those people are free to live in Beiteynu, but this is a Jewish Homeland and thus they must obey the laws that go with that." -- Nesí Hamdiná Tamir Kirschenbaum |

| Message | "This is not state sanctioned murder. There is nothing murderous about this. Euthanasia is a personal choice by the person being euthanized, and thus cannot be murder. Nor is euthanasia state-sanctioned. The illegality of euthanasia is invasion of human rights by the state - it says that one does not own his or herself, and that the state does." -Raamiah Galgenstrick, Chairman of the GJA Foreign Minister of the SJHB |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
