Details
Submitted by[?]: Christian Communist Front
Status[?]: passed

Voting deadline: May 2595
Description[?]:
| A team of some of the best scientists in all of Terra, working out of a lab in Saiserstadt, claim they have developed an artificial virus capable of repairing DNA damaged by radiation, thus able to cure genetic damage AND zombism! Research team leader Isaac Marianos addressed reporters: "Well, you see, many of you know how a virus works. It invades cells and injects its DNA into the cell. Normally, the DNA instructs the cell to create more of the viruses until the cell explodes. What we do is put the victim's damaged DNA sequence into the virus, now harmless, which goes on to repair the DNA sequences throughout the body. Testing so far has been a resounding success, and we would like to start administering this cure to those experiencing zombie-like symptoms throughout Athlorcaea." It's up to a vote by the Athlorcaean legislators. Will we administer this miracle drug to those who need it in a compulsory fashion, should we let them have it voluntarily, or should we not use it at all? EDIT: Voting yes is for compulsory administration, voting no is for voluntary administration. |

| Message | Although we don't like compulsory treatmens (expect vaccination for children) we think that in this case an exception should be made, let's make it compulsory |

| Message | Compulsory use. Zombies aren't able to make an informed decision by themselves. |

| Message | Voluntarily of course. Law itsels states that all citizens are free to put whatever they want in their bodies, so they can leave whatever they want out of their bodies too. |

| Message | OoC: I would have liked to see it as an opt out thing. That way we can carry on RPing Zombie Civil Rights on the forum. If this does pass then I'll probably still do something on the forums though. Hmmm... |
