| Message | Mr Speaker, There is no Christian reason for withholding organs that are no longer of use to their previous user, and that could save the life of another human being. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Is it not defiling a dead man's body to take from them what they have not given express permission to give up? What is of a man's body is their's in life as it is in death. We should be respectful to the dead. I yield. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, In general, consent should never be assumed on almost anything. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, A dead man's soul has no use for his former body. This matter of "consent" encourages families to adopt heathen beliefs and pagan rituals involving the remains of the deceased: when they should rejoice that their loved one has gone to a better place. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, A body should be buried with respect to them not being defiled by a doctor. The Church has always allowed the last wish in the legal document of a will, just as we respect a deceased man's house we should respect his body, after all that was his first ownership on Earth, and what happens to it. If it is his wish to not have his body taken advantage of and made defiled then we should not stand in his way. I yield. |
| Date | 16:05:07, July 25, 2008 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Organ Donation Reform |
| Message | Mr Speaker, We believe that preserving the lives takes precedence over any heathen attachment to the deceased's remains. |
| Date | 16:58:02, July 25, 2008 CET | From | Neo-Imperial Peoples Vanguard Party (IA) | To | Debating the Organ Donation Reform |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, It is not heathen to believe that on Earth human beings have the right to private property. I yield. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
