Ban forced euthanasia

Draft proposal:

"It is a fact, that some people, and nations would choose to adopt a policy of forcing euthanasia on the elderly, or the sick. To do so is nothing short of execution. This proposal states that:

1. No nation shall be allowed to force euthanasia on the elderly, the mentally ill, the sick, or any human being at all.
2. Euthanasia shall only be legal in a case when the person personally gives his consent
3. If this isn´t possible it is assumed that they don´t want euthansia
4. Reaffirming the resolution "Legalise Euthanasia" and underlining the statement "that everyone over a certain age or with a life-threatening illness should be given the right to decide whether, in such a situation, they want to live on for as long as possible, or die with a little dignity left intact."
6. Adding and clarifying to point five that euthanasia should be restritcted to cases where people have
- a life-threatening illness which is uncurable
- they are at least 70 years or older (as nations decide in their national sovereignity)
- they have over a long time pointed out their will that they want to die (more than one year at least)
7. This proposal will not change the terms of the "Legalise Euthanasia" resolution, neither shall it change it. This proposal would not outlaw euthanasia as defined by that resolution, it is only clearifying the terms and conditions."


Eestemed colleagues:
We are asking about your opinion, recommendations, wishes for changes, e.g. on our draf proposal. This thread shall be used for discussions on it.

@Tekania,

there is a proposal in queue adressing this issue:

"Forced Euthanasia
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights Strength: Significant Proposed by: Randomocitia
Description: It is a fact, that some people, and nations would choose to adopt a policy of forcing euthanasia on the elderly, or the sick. To do so is nothing short of execution, and genocide. This proposal states that:

1. No nation shall be allowed to force euthanasia on the elderly, the mentally ill, the sick, or any human being at all.

2. This proposal will not change the terms of the "Legalise Euthanasia" resolution, neither shall it change it. This proposal would not outlaw euthanasia as defined by that resolution."

If it doesn´t go through we are going to push forward our proposal.
We are asking for your support. Euthanasia is LEGAL in all UN nations. If you weren´t in the UN at that time it still is legal although it is not affecting your stats.
Therefore we are asking your for your support in limitting and regulating it at least, due to the fact that it is already legal and can not be banned.

Sincerely yours

Marc Smith, president of Kybernetia

I have no problem with execution, but that is for capitol-crimes. The Tekanian gov't has never been one to execute people arbitrarily.

I'm one of the represantant of a little looklike community of frenchy's island, also please apologize if my english are not very explicit...

If i've well understood the subject, you asking for the right to keep Olds, deficients and sicks persons, alive...that's it ?

So, we think that,,persons can't be efficients, for economy, and devellopement, will be dead weight .

Also, when appear first signs of degeneration, pick up all the fucking oldfashionned and near-to-dead persons, and park them on a island with some kind of food for a few weeks, and let them sea-water for beverage...

come back in 2 or 3 months, and looking for survivors, if they are always alive, also re-welcome them in your society, because they have shown they are available to continue the work... :mrgreen:

In case of reclamations...no problem let them on this little part of stone, and wait for their apologize !!

We are against forced euthanasia and killing of sick and old people. Every person has the right to life. If anybody should have the right to end his life (which we consider as immoral but o.k.), only the person itself should have the right to end it and not someone else.
Precisely because of inhumane practices in some countries (like the last two comments prove) we want the UN to step in and ban forced killing of sick and old people.

"If Euthanasia is legal, what stipulations will be added to the legislation to prevent younger people looking to commit suicide attempt to be euthanasized? Or should suicide, or assisted suicide be legal in all forms"
ON January 17, a resolution allowing euthanasia passed. We rejected it but unfortunately it got a majority. It is not possible to repeal it due to game mechanics but it is possible to interpret it. This resolution is going to restrict it.
We are considering a draft further restricting it.


Draft proposal:

"It is a fact, that some people, and nations would choose to adopt a policy of forcing euthanasia on the elderly, or the sick. To do so is nothing short of execution. This proposal states that:

1. No nation shall be allowed to force euthanasia on the elderly, the mentally ill, the sick, or any human being at all.
2. Euthanasia shall only be legal in a case when the person personally gives his consent
3. If this isn´t possible it is assumed that they don´t want euthansia

From the other thread:
We do not believe that people who are not capable of rationality or self-awareness are, for lack of a better term, people. We allow families the choice to keep there loved ones on life support when that is the only thing keeping them alive. We feel that this is less traumatic for everyone involved

You do not have our support.

How would this resolution affect severly aged and/or ill prisoners scheduled to be executed?

Would it also interfere with quarantines?

If it does not interfere with executions/quarantines, the Dominion approves of this proposal. All citizens must work for the greater glory of Necros-Vacuia, no matter how old.

@Necros-Vacuia

"How would this resolution affect severly aged and/or ill prisoners scheduled to be executed?"
Nothing to do with it. It is only dealing with euthanasia and the danger that the resolution allowing euthanasia (January 16, 2004) is leading to forced killings and a climate in which old and sick people feel forced to say they want to be killed or where not the people themselves but other people (family, friends) decide about ending their lives.
That´s going to be prohibited by this resolution.
It has nothing to do with capital punishment, only with regulating euthanasia.

Sorry for the late reply.

CASUS

My docters tell me I have less than a year to live. They also inform me that that year will be spent in excruciating pains. According to article 6 in your proposal I cannot apply for legal euthanasia, or at least it wouldn't matter because after my at least a year of wanting to die I'm dead. Still, maybe you could immagine that there are people that would not want to live the rest of their lives in excruciating pains.

Souldn't article 6 be slightly adapted to account for such occasions?

I think that you're being too broad when you say "killing." Do you define Do-Not-Recussitate orders as killing? I think that family members should have the choice to sign DNR's or request that no "heroic measures" be taken to save the life of an elderly or sick loved one, if the patient in question is too ill to make that decision on their own. Granted, you may have one or two cases of someone pulling the plug on Grandma because he or she just found out that they were in the will, but most people aren't like that, and we shouldn't take away rights from everyone to prevent a very small minority from abusing them. This is not preschool.

I also think that people should have the choice to end their lives if they choose. It is very difficult to suffer through end-stage terminal diseases and wait to die - it's physically and emotionally painful for the patient, and stressful for the family. Perhaps there should be some restrictions or regulations in place for this, such as a required psych consult for anyone requesting euthanasia, but I think it's a choice that one can only make for oneself.
Kybernetia
15-06-2004, 20:56
@Nova Liberta,


the intention of this resolution is to ban killing of sick and old people (forced euthanasia).
This is also often refered to as "active assistance to die".
What you are taking about is the so called "passive resistance to die", meaning not taking every possible option to prolongue the life. That are two different things. We are not regulating the latter in any form. Our resolution only adresses the regulations of the active asistance to die, also refered to as euthanasia and illegal in almost all real life countries excpet the Netherlands (who also allow drugs) and Belgium.
The reality has proven that there is a massive use and even abuse of it. We therefore see at least regulations of euthanasia as necessary since we can not repeal it.

Sincerely yours

@Killeans,

we want to inform you and all others who are pushing such killing programs that the Nazis where the first who were starting such "euthanasia" programs against "unworthy life to life".
We are rejecting that: we believe in the undivine truth of human dignity, regardless whether the person is sich or old.
There is no unworthy life to life.
Therefore there should be no forced euthanasia of sick and old people.
Hessenland
17-06-2004, 16:02
We agree to the draft of Kybernetia.
Our country outlawed euthanasia (we are not in the UN) and rejects this barbaric practise which was firstly used by the Nazis.
Never again: there is no unworthy life to life. Every human life is sacred and deserves the protection of the state.
Keyet
18-06-2004, 00:51
Forced euthanasia is wrong, however it is also wrong to deny people the choice of euthanasia. If a person would prefere death to life then that is their choice and their choice alone. One should attempt to aid others and show them the benefits to living, but ultimately it is every individuals choice whether or not to go on with life. The government has no right forcing either death or life on an individual, it is not the government's place, or anyone elses, to tell a person they have to go on living and putting up with all the crap in the world, that is for the individual to decide. In this Keyet supports both euthanasia and suicide, as well as being against the death penalty (except in cases where the criminal is undeniably shown to be incapable of ever being helped and returned to society).
The only restrictions to be placed on euthanasia and suicide should be that the individual is capable of making such a decision for themselves, i.e. they are over a certain age and in good mental condition.

It is a fact, that some people, and nations would choose to adopt a policy of forcing euthanasia on the elderly, or the sick. To do so is nothing short of execution. This proposal states that:

1. No nation shall be allowed to force euthanasia on the elderly, the mentally ill, the sick, or any human being at all.
2. Euthanasia shall only be legal in a case when the person personally gives his consent
3. If this isn´t possible it is assumed that the person doesn´t want euthanasia
4. Reaffirming the resolution "Legalise Euthanasia" and underlining the statement "that everyone over a certain age or with a life-threatening illness should be given the right to decide whether, in such a situation, they want to live on for as long as possible, or die with a little dignity left intact."
6. Adding and clarifying to point five that euthanasia should be restritcted to cases where people have
- a life-threatening illness which is uncurable AND
- they have over a long time pointed out their will that they want to die (more than one year at least), except in cases where the life expecancy is lower than a year: than the will of the patience must be pointed out clearly and undoubtable. Countries may enact safeguards, like counselling or and advisory talk to ensure that.
7. This proposal will not change the terms of the "Legalise Euthanasia" resolution, neither shall it change it. This proposal would not outlaw euthanasia as defined by that resolution, it is only clearifying the terms and conditions.
8. This resolution sets MINIMUM standards regarding the regulation of euthanasia. Countries are allowed to restrict it further, as long as they are in compliance with the „Legalize Euthanasia“-resolution of January,16.
9. This resolution does not restrict the right of nations to impose capital punishment against those people, it only restricts and regulates euthanasia.
