| Message | Oppose. We can understand the logic with maintaining such a policy with nuclear arms, but not with biological weapons. Can someone enlighten me as to how this actually benefits Jakania? |

| Message | We're not talking about benevolent research with practical applications in everyday life, we're talking about biological weapon research, and biological weapons will neither grant us general scientific knowledge nor make our military any more effective in anything other than genocide. We don't need to develop these in weapon form, our current legislation allows cures and chemicals to combat biochem weapons to be researched in full, and that's all we need to protect our people. |
