| Message | This is undemocratic as the individual should have a right to their own bodies even in choosing what to do with their organs once they are dead. We should encourage organ donation with the current law, but we should not make it compulsory. We are a diverse nation, with many diferent traditions and religions, and there is no need to step on those traditions. |

| Message | As a mater of fact this type of government interference is very much like what the ACF claims its against, yet it has voted for this. |
| Date | 04:59:25, November 20, 2005 CET | From | Progressive Imperial Party | To | Debating the Corpses' Rights Act |
| Message | While we of the Progressive Imperial Party can understand the PPP's opposition to this bill, it is our expressed feeling that while democracy is vital to the continued functioning of the state, is it not true that we do not grant franchise to the dead? As the Totalitarian Party so astutely put it, "The dead have no need for their organs." The living possess universal rights- the dead do not. |
