Antonio Benandez MP (Leader of the DSP) |

| Message | OOC: I think that we have a sort-of consensus that Monmouth would return to Parliament to become Speaker. We tried a contest once, but it took way too long. So now we just appoint with a sort-of consensus. Not the optimum system, but then what can we do? |

| Message | Mr Speaker, we oppose this bill for ethical reasons. Human life should not be devalued to a resource for experimental science, even if some individuals might draw benefits from such research. The point when we deny the sanctity of life is the point when we abandon all morals. Genta Yamamoto MP Member for Magadonia GNP Spokesman for Science and Technology |
