| Message | Trying to avoid cases of scrupulous doctors who manage to coerce the patient into the patients will, then euthanizes the patient. |
| Date | 19:09:05, November 04, 2005 CET | From | Ministerial Party | To | Debating the Euthanasia responsibility act 2135 |
| Message | I tried to pass this a few years back, let's see if it'll go through this time. |
| Date | 17:57:50, November 05, 2005 CET | From |  Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Euthanasia responsibility act 2135 |
| Message | We still cannot support it. If a person is ill and unlikely to recover they should not have to go through the hurdles of navigating a legal framework. |
| Date | 20:10:15, November 05, 2005 CET | From | Imperial Malivian Party | To | Debating the Euthanasia responsibility act 2135 |
| Message | Well we feel that euthanasia should be illegal however we also realize that this will probably never happen under the current path of Malivian Politics, and therefore since this is closer to our ideals then the current law we will support it. |

| Message | We'll support this. For a step as drastic as euthanasia, consent needs to be established beyond reasonable doubt, to eliminate any possibility of coercion by doctors, relatives or carers. |
| Date | 09:08:25, November 08, 2005 CET | From | Progressive Labour Party | To | Debating the Euthanasia responsibility act 2135 |
| Message | Euthanasia is the choice of the patient, as long as the doctors get a second option we see no reason why the courts should decide if a patient is hopelessly ill and suffering intolerably, they should be made to live on in that condition against their will. |
| Date | 15:26:47, November 09, 2005 CET | From | Malivia Democratic Party | To | Debating the Euthanasia responsibility act 2135 |
| Message | What if the patient is not in any frame of mind, or has been drugged by their doctor? This is why we need a third party to determine that the patient-doctor relationship has not been abused in any fashion by the doctor. |
