| Message | We disagree with all of this, as maintaining cripples is a drain on the economy and having people die unecissarily or live a less productive life due to faulty organs is likewise a needless drain on the economy. |

| Message | We hold a somewhat less impersonally disagreement with this bill. |
| Date | 20:45:33, August 10, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Nicholas Madison Act |
| Message | We just consider disrespectful to take people's organs without previous consent, and euthanasia is an altar to death culture. |

| Message | We agree with Article 1 but not Article 2 (however not for the same reasons as the KRP). We will support you on this if the euthanasia natured article is removed. |

| Message | We can not support this on account of the euthanasia article. If that were removed then we would gladly support you, since we agree to the article concerning organ donation. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
