Euthanasia - the answer to mental health

18-01-2004, 13:45
The Kingdom of Joccia, having due regard to the majority decision in the acceptance of the Euthanasia proposal in its fullest sense, has this day passed laws in accoprdance with the resolution. In brief there are 5 main parts to the legislation.

1. Whereas a person with mental health problems is seen to be suffering and cannot be guaranteed a cure - they shall be terminated and their suffering shall cease.

2. Whereas a person of retirement age -70 years in Joccia - shall be deemed to be of no further value to the state and shall be deemed to be suffering - they shall be terminated and their suffering shall cease.

3. Whereas any person shall be involved in protest, form part of a repressed minority group, be of a sexual or religious persuasion, which is seen by His Majesty's Government to be abbhorrent, they shall be deemed to be suffering and shall be terminated.

4. Whereas persons included in any of the above sections are deemed to be unable to make any rational decision, hence their adherence to their chosen abomination, or by age, or by mental illness, they shall be deemed to be unable to make their own decision to volunteer for euthanasia and the respective clause within the UN resolution shall come into force.

5. It has been commanded that henceforth His Majesty's Minister of Well-being shall be, in law, the next of kin to the entire population of this nation, saving only the Royal Family and persons involved in the Government and from time to time those whom the King or his successors may choose, and that he may devolve this right to the persons rightly employed by the Department of Well-Being.

Joccia has no problems now - Our Royal thanks to Grande for giving us the solution on a plate

If euthanasia is your answer to mental health problems I suggest you avail yourself of it without further delay.

If you were one of the bleeding heart liberals who so lovingly and calously voted this resolution through - My thanks to you as well!

Joccio is correct. Under the current wording of the Euthanasia Legalisation Act everything he did is legitamate under UN policy.

While New Eriu will not be engendering this behaviour, please let this serve as a lesson that improperly worded proposals could have unusual concequences.
