due to this disguting proposal passing, i have submitted a motion to repeal it. please vote YES!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~a copy or my proposal~~~~~~~~~~~



As we all know, a resolution to promote euthanasia was recently passed. This resolution contained a loophole which would allow the slaughter of innocent people who had no terminal illness. the resolution simply stated "life threatening", the flu is life threatening without proper medical care.

It also contained a loophole that would authroise the illegal murder of innocent because of their age, including those with no threatening condition simply because someone (the party involved was not specified) wants them dead, and this would be a proper legal procedure.

also, the diagnosis of a critical illness does not need to be done by a doctor and this was "not a medical issue"

This proposal seeks to repeal the original resolution and to return control of euthanasia to the nation's government. It is not the UNs place to handle such a matter.

I'm sure I speak for every UN member in my region when I say: you have my vote. I'm even more sure that my regional delegate, for one, will approve of the motion.

Istahan will support this appeal, should it come to quorum.

The Rogue Nation of Greenspoint will support this proposal.

Mr. James Moehlman
Assistant Manager in charge of U.N. Affairs
Greenspoint

i hope that it will come to quorum

wth? its not listed anymore...

The mods will have deleted it because repeals are not allowed - read the "Before you make a proposal..." thread at http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=77286 for an explanation, but basically, to repeal resolutions the mods would have to re-write the game code, so they don't allow it in resolutions. Make game mechanics suggestions in the Tech Forum, but there's no point with repeals, because they know people want it already.

People keep proposing repeals, and other people keep reminding them "Sorry, game mechanics", yet people keep proposing repeals... :?

I support thid and any proposal that attempts to reverse the Euthanassia legalization. Otherwise, i resing. Im not gonna accept it, and its not a matter of the UN or any other nation to tell me that certain types of killing are OK.

I have already made it illegal in my nation but this would be much better. You have my support.

I never understood how this resolution managed to pass or even to get to quorum?

Simply because you can decide it, in an issue :roll:

Efte will support this.

Schweinfurt will support this. For every repeal the game deletes, post three more.

I can't believe this is a discussion.....

Its your life, if you want to end it - ITS YOUR DAMN RIGHT, just like every other liberty you own (excepting of course belief in religion - AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!)

Few people object with your first point, its just that the proposal was so poorly worded that there are many, many loopholes in it that could be harmful.

Schweinfurt will support this. For every repeal the game deletes, post three more.
Rather than encouraging spamming proposals, Schweinfurt, why don't you support Myopia's proposal to AMEND the poorly written law. That's legal, as far as I know.

The problem is that the current legislature allows other people to end your life for you, even without being ill or old. Read the wording carefully.

In the case of a freak situation in which a person has no serious illness or is over a certain age, if the person cannot make the decision themselves it would be made by those closest to them

New Eriu agree with the general principle of the resoloution, but not the way the resoloution is written and executed (pun not intentional, but it most certainly applies.)

The Druidic Theocracy intends to support the ammendment when our Regional politics allow us to do so, although we are concerned about the implementation of Suicide as part of that ammendment.

The Rose Crown will support this

I'm all for taking the pain away from people. Especially when they're suffering needlessly. And if the patient wants to be euthanised then i don't think we sahould stop them.
But to let some-one else decide whether or not they should live or die is just another way of legalising murder. And this i do not agree with.
So The Rose Crown will support Gwobble's motion to repeal this bill.

The Eastern Mountains would support this, but we are not in the UN. And, judging by this particular issue, that seems to be a good thing.

Therein lies the problem with the whole. Even a moron can propose that we legalize monkeys humping footballs and if even more morons vote for it, then the system implements and it's all fouled up... People take the issues as jokes and since there are no real consequences they don't care - its amusing. Or perhaps their sole reason is to create chaos and frustration.

I think you moderators should really implement better tools to allow a reformation of the original context of the proposal instead of a blind submission. You have set the rules that we HAVE to obey the UN (unlike real nations), therefore you should at least make an effort to give us some of the tools required to prevent eventual degradation of this UN. Along this route, the nations that are wise enough to scrutinze the details will eventually leave the UN or form their own "Non-UN" UN.
