PLEASE SUPPORT OUR UN PROPOSAL!
IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN!

ITSMAD Organ Donatation Reform

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights Strength: Strong Proposed by: Shawnnio
Description: Shawnnio has saved many lives with our program. All citizens of Shawnnio are compulsory donors. If someone needs an organ, a matching donor is called upon to immediately report for harvesting at one of our many National Harvesting Stations around our great benevolent country. This account for thousands of lives being saved. And we saved more of our children through transplants than any other country. We have proven that it is successful and beneficial. Mostly, saving the lives of our children.

Therefore, we propose a worldwide compulsory donor program to be known as The International Tracking System for Mandatory Assistance Donors (ITSMAD). This program shall:

1- Require citizens of all countries to submit to being compulsory donors.

2- Prioritize this program for sick and in need dying child recipients.

3- Create a DNA database of all citizens enrolled.

4- Empower ITSMAD to oversee the implementation, tracking and compliance of donors and recipients.

5- Provide sufficient funding to support the operations of ITSMAD.

6- Promote an education program, especially for our children, to put at ease any populations’ worries.

7- Give our children a chance to live.

This program will stimulate world economy while increasing the effectiveness and profitability of the medical industry. Not to mention millions of lives saved, especially the lives of our children.

Are you MAD?

This proposal walks all over the rights of an individual to be buried in one piece.

Aside from the religious complications, where some beliefs do not allow such things to be done of the body for burial, it also destroys the right of an individual to simply say no.

Mandatory organ donation does NOTHING for civil rights.
It tramples them beneath government interference.

Agreed.

The concept of the proposal is touching, but it needs serious tweeking before being accepted by more democratic/liberal nations.

For starters, compulsary ANYTHING is usually a bad sign of totalitarian or corrupt workings. That immedeately disqualifies the "Civil Rights" category.

I disagree with the proposal but I would support a system of opting out of donating organs instead of having to specifically state if you want to donate organs.

What should be done is to have a non-donor card system, so that if you object to donation you can register yourself for non-donation. If you don't register yourself the assumption would be that you didn't mind donating your organs.

Anyone who really cared about not donating their organs would sign up, and all those who don't really care either way (who currently often don't bother to get a donor card) would now simply not bother to get a non-donor card.

Such a system would raise organ donation rates without taking away the individual's right to sovereignty in this respect over his/her body.

EDIT: ah, snap!

I think that is a good idea, run with that and see what happens.

Anyone mind if I make a proposal to that effect?

Aww poo, I was thinking of that :P

Anyway, I think that is a great idea, and I would not mind if you wanted my help in wording or such things. *hint hint*

Certainly, telegram me and we'll work something out. That goes for anyone else too.

We would also like to help. Shall we begin a separate thread about this?

that's right, just steal my ideas and make them your own. At least I believe in what I am doing, for the children.

Umm.....we expressly rejected your ideas. You advocate compulsory organ donation, we advocate opt-out systems.

I do think that the opt-out proposal should include a recognition of "no blood products" card to be as effective as stating they do not consent to being a donor.

A Jehovah's Witness is not allowed to receive blood products, including transfusions to save their life. I would think that this religious tenet would equally affect whether they can donate their organs.
