Since there already exists an issue which debates euthanasia, isn't the present proposal therefore against the Game Mechanics?
Deciding against euthanasia in the issue will be against the proposal, if implemented.

Well, no, because it is a technical issue......at least I think that it is. :?

I was thinking that, i mean you can decide it for yourself anyway but the nation who wrote it was new and probably hadn't seen that issue yet

There was a gay rights proposal passed a while ago, but there are issues which let you oppress homosexuals.
I supposed you can consider it violating a UN resolution.

There are already at least a couple resolutions that cover areas already decided in issues (Unions proposal, Citizen Rule Required, Hydrogen Powered Vehicles, Religious Tolerance, and International Space Initiative toname a few), so no it shouldn't be deleted .

Think of choosing a different option on the issue like ignoring a UN resolution, countries in the real world do it often enough the time.

I don't think so. If that reasoning were to be set as a precedent, the growing number of issues would make it almost impossible to make a UN proposal.

Whether or not one follows UN resolutions in answering ones issues is up to the individual nations.

I see what you all mean and have decided to just act in defiance of the UN. This might as well be locked.
