| Message | We cannot support Article 3. Just imagine someone in a hospital, waking up to find that one of his organs was removed for donation to someone else because he never explicitly told the doctors he wouldn't want that. He shouldn't have to specify. |
| Date | 08:25:43, May 11, 2012 CET | From | Beluzian National Party | To | Debating the Modern Health Act |
| Message | Organ donations, as you will be fully aware, are done after death. |

| Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
