World Organ Donor Center
A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.


Category: Social Justice
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Venerable libertarians

Description:
Given that thousands of sick people die everyday needlessly while waiting for a suitable Donor Organ to become available.
Given that Many Countries harvest their peoples organs after death and are left with an oversupply.

With this in mind i Propose that the UN Set up a World Organ Donor Center (UNWODC) to Centralise and Process all the Worlds Organ needs. This will Ensure that if The Precious organs needed by sick and dying persons in One Nation, where there are a lack of Donor Organs, can be sourced in another Nation.

I propose The UNWODC shall issue Donor Cards to the peoples of all Member Nations to be signed on a voluntary basis so that on death a donors organs can be harvested on finding the card and sent directly after testing for Type, to the suitable patient in need of an organ transplant.

I Propose funding for the UNWODC Shall be sourced from the coffers of the International Community and in fund raisers by such bodies as the International Red Cross Organisation (IRCO).

I propose that the IRCO administrate the UNWODC and make available the IRCO's vast transport infrastructure. This will ensure the speedy delivery of the Organs to where they are required, with out delay.

I am Aware that this will not save all the sick and dying people but it will give those who are still young, with everything to live for, a bloody good chance.

Dont let these People down.
Dont condemn them to die from inaction.
Approve and enact the UNWODC.

I have to admit, I can't intially see anything wrong with it (except maybe one small thing) and would be glad to support it.

The one small thing is that there are some nations that are theorcracys, and that the nation as a whole might oppose organ donation (due to it being a sacrilege for examlpe). However since you included the word voluntary, it means that no nation will be forced to donate organs (hence the "small thing")

We already have organ sharing - it was covered within another resolution (the title might be about blood, but the resolution actually deals with organs too):

World Blood Bank

A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.

Category: Social Justice
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Malagassia

Description: Whereas it has been observed that some nations are experiencing repeated or seasonal shortages of blood,

Whereas it has been observed that most nations are experiencing acute shortages in donor organs,

Whereas it has been observed that organs compatible to the victim of the body are often hard to find,

Whereas it has been observed that only 1 in 200,000 people have compatible marrow types,

Whereas it has been observed that marrow donors are rare,

Whereas it has been observed that every nation is susceptible to acute blood and organ shortages in the case of calamities,

Whereas national blood reserves are largely left idle most of the times as fresh blood expires in a matter of days,

Whereas regional or worldwide redistribution would provide an assurance against acute shortage and could level national shortages/surplusses,

A World Blood Bank is proposed in which all nation's donations would be included and redistributed on a regional scale meeting local needs.

UN nations would need to open up their reserves to the World Blood Bank and partake in the funding of a centralized body that would coordinate the efforts of gathering, archiving and redistributing.

These efforts are deemed compatible with the role of the Red Cross/Red Crescent and could/should be done in concordance with that organisation.

In order to safeguard quality and well-being of donors and receivers, blood, marrow and organ donations should meet the requirements put forward by the Red Cross/Red Crescent.

On behalf of the IRCO I'd like to first express that our organization will naturally support any decision made by the membership of the UN. That is afterall where our original authority comes from.

We do feel that _Myopia_ raises a good point in reminding us about the previous resolution, and since the proposal submitted here is really an expansion of the ideas presented in the World Blood Bank resolution, we'd recommend that a reference to that resolution be included in the preamble of this proposal.

That said, there are some points in the current proposal that actually go beyond the scope of the original resolution, but we feel would be enhancements:

I propose The UNWODC shall issue Donor Cards to the peoples of all Member Nations to be signed on a voluntary basis so that on death a donors organs can be harvested on finding the card and sent directly after testing for Type, to the suitable patient in need of an organ transplant.

I Propose funding for the UNWODC Shall be sourced from the coffers of the International Community and in fund raisers by such bodies as the International Red Cross Organisation (IRCO).

I propose that the IRCO administrate the UNWODC and make available the IRCO's vast transport infrastructure. This will ensure the speedy delivery of the Organs to where they are required, with out delay.


The World Blood Bank resolution did not include specific directions for any international donor cards to be issued, thus the IRCO has not done so. Instead, we've spent our resources merely coordinating regional and national level donation programs.

The original IRCO resolution actually chartered the IRCO to function as a non-profit organization, as funded by donations and grants. The second activating clause of this resolution would actually provide much needed for donation programs.

Since the original resolution, the IRCO, chartered this organization with the responsibility to:

- provide food,
- shelter, and
- humanitarian aid.

in response to natural disasters, terorrist attacks, and other events, we've used the original resolution as a resource to help use meet our primary goal. Unfortunately after disasters there sometimes exists a need for donations.

I would feel somewhat better if there was a clause that this has to be totally voluntary. That no nation is going to be permitted (under this resolution) to decide that they should be allowed to take someone's organs after they die if that person has not given permission for it to happen.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the UN,
I thank you for your Pointers and for your messages.
It is my nations belief that on the Point of the previous resolution regarding the world Blood bank that the Issue of organ donorship was just an after thought. With this in mind and the needs of many nations with cronic shortages in suitable organs, and on compashionate grounds regarding the many who will die soon with out an organ, or multiple organ transplant, We, the Delegation for the Realm of Hiberniato the UN have expanded on the shortfalls of the previous resolution and posted our proposal.

To ease the Fears of all nations whom may find Organ donating offensive the Voluntary Organ donor cards is your "Not applicable" clause. If you do not wish for cards to be distributed to the people of your nation then you are Within your rights to do so. It is only by presentation of a donor card with the desceased person that any organs can be removed and it is only with the conscent of the surgeons at the desceased's time of death, At the place where death is pronounced.

There are many examples where the Organs were available for those in need but due to cross border red tape, the patient died. Let us give these people at least the chance to live.

Thank you all for your time and especially to the International Red Cross. In these troubled times the IRCO is indeed an organisation of the people, For the People and By the people.

Spread the word, Approove the World Organ Donor Center and save Lives.

At least one of my nations allows people to sell organs.

Why would I want to be part of a global commune that says they have to be given freely, or not given at all?

No, but seriously. I oppose this resolution. If this passes, some people in my nation are going to die because their neighbors' organs are being shipped to other nationstates.

With your declaration that it is voluntary, I have no problem supporting it. I have no intention of preventing it in my nation, but I can't enforce it on my people. It will be their choice, rather than my choice for them :}

Can someone with greater medical expertise than myself tell me about the practicalities of transporting donor organs between the tens of thousands of UN nations?

As to donor cards, what about nations which operate opt-out systems - that is, we assume people wish to donate their organs unless they have registered themselves as non-donors?

The whole issue of blood and organ donation between nations is very difficult for _Myopia_. The populace is, by and large, happy to donate their organs. However, we are quite poor as a nation, and so we struggle to provide sufficient care as it is. By taking organs from our nation, and distributing them to other nations which, by and large, have lower donation rates, you remove one of the few advantages our health services have in their struggle to treat our populace. Therefore, we would prefer it if any reinforcement of international donation systems was coupled with measures to increase donation rates in other nations, to lessen the burden on our hospitals. (Opt-out systems would be one good thing. In particular, we object to your proposal to allow nations to bar distribution of donor cards. If UN member nation are to be included in sharing programmes, their governments must at least make donor cards available to citizens to choose.)

Why donate it for free? All that blood is cash money waiting to be tapped.

Several nations have large vampire populations (DLE comes to mind), and vampires usually have lots of spare money to spend on luxuries. Market it as an exotic imported blood, to be served chilled. You'd make a killing!

uh, pun intended.

To answer Myopia, the Organs are tested at source and are not shipped to a central location. They are sent directly to the recipient who is registered on a central database as soon as the organ has been type matched. The method shall be as per the following example.

1, A patient with healthy organs is pronounced dead and a donor card is presented. The organs are harvested and type matched. The Info is fed to the World Organ Donor Center via an internet stream.

2, The Info is recieved by the Centers computer mainframe which has a data base of sick patients and a closest match is calculated using type, distance and urgency of the waiting patient, also taking into account infrastructure issues. ( theres no point sending a heart from a donor in Dublin Ireland, To a patient in Sydney Australia as the speed in which the organ reaches the recipient is also a factor.

3, The mainframe sends back a message simultainiously to the Hospital of origin stating the destination and how to send it, to the Recipients hospital so they may start to make ready for the opperationas soon as the organ arrives and to the Patient informing him/her to get to the Hospital where the opperation will take place, with out delay.

4, the Organ is shipped using the fastest infrastructure available to the sending and recieving nations.

the down side of this proposal of which i am fully aware is the fact that large regions of the world will not be able to take part due to lack of infrastructure, Modern communications and Surgical facilities.

The Motive of the proposal to try to utilise the above in a structured way so as to increase the chances of people waiting for an organ to become available. It is anticipated with the IRCO's assistance that the areas left out of the loop can be brought on line asap and within reason. The Main Idea is to save lives where they have a chance of success.

As for vampire nations, the organs and blood is to save lives, not to feed the undead at a tasty profit.

As we sit here discussing the Proposal, It still needs aprooval and the clock is ticking. Please seek out the proposal, Aproove it and help save lives.

Forgive me is this has been answeres elsewhere ... I've not read every reply here. But my government is curious out priorities will be worked out.

Let's say that there is a famous football (soccer) player who has done drugs and drank nothing but whiskey for years. His liver his shot ... but being a football star in one nation, a doctor puts him high on the list.

Then a compatible liver comes up in my nation, where though we encourage the consumption fo Spice beer and many drugs are legalized, we also have rules that say that doing these things bumps your priority down. Would the liver be queued via my nation's priority system or an international one?

For the record, my government does like the idea of an international donor database and feels this could in fact save lives. My question is more just to feel out how things might work, and again, I could be asking a very silly question and if so, you have my sincere apologies. :)

The IRCO will do whatever the UN asks of it naturally, to the best of its ability. Right now the organization specializes in coordinating relief efforts, so in the event of a disaster we have some ability to assist in regions that might be less likely to have regular databases and the like.

We hope this will be of some help.

to Mikivity,
Stringent guidelines will be set on the assessment of patients waiting for organs. Alas we can not garuntee that some states wont try to corrupt the system and we can only try to achieve zero corruption by sending agents to inspect local databases from time to time.
As we see it, there will be no accounting for those whom have mispent their time abusing there bodies and selection will be by strict mathematical criteria.
If there is a patient who is suffering due to genetics and also a fallen sports star, the organ shall go to the Patient deemed closest to death in the event that the organ is suited to both patients.

The criteria to be accounted for are as follows, and in this order....

Closest possible match to blood and tissue type.
highest chance of Sucessful transplantation.
Distance and Infrastructure between the Donor and Recipient.
Nearest to Death.

You could still transport organs between nations of your region, it's just that the IRCO wouldn't handle it. This proposal doesn't restrict a nation's right to send medical aid to any other one nation. It just says that if you want to use UN funds to donate blood or organs, then a UN organization will decide where it goes.

Venerable libertarians, you have said quite a few things which have not been included in the proposal. I suggest that if the current version fails, you wait before resubmitting, and consider contributions from this forum to refine your proposal, taking into account prioritisations, references to the old resolution, logistics, etc.

Thanks for the explanation, but what I was really wanting to know was exactly how far it is practical to healthily transport an organ. I would also like you to consider my request to include encouragements for other nations to increase donation rates.

1, A patient with healthy organs is pronounced dead and a donor card is presented. The organs are harvested and type matched. The Info is fed to the World Organ Donor Center via an internet stream.

etc etc

Bear in mind that this is going to need massive computing power. The NSUN consists of 37,254 member nations, on average probably significantly larger than real nations. Your centralised computer system is going to have to deal with immense and constantly changing databases of donors and recipients, and with huge numbers of calaculations involving biological compatability and practicality of transport. I would recommend getting the advice of a computer expert (is there one here?) to tell you whether a centralised system like this is the best solution.

I would hazard to guess you could lay hands on a couple hundred computer experts around here, yes.

What costs do we envision this proposal entailing?
I'm not sure the computing requirements are all that onerous, but I'm not the gnomes who decide how this will impact our economies. It would be useful to be able to predict the impact of a resolution, and be able to analyze what provision(s) of the resolution drive the costs.

Perhaps it would be better in this case to change that clause to be less specific and just say there will be an quick, efficient and cost-effective transmission of the organ availability information.

As for the computer system required I forsee that costs of installation and Maintainance as being no larger than that of a Local office of the UN. The biggest cost issue will be the provisal of back up systems In power and data protection. Expensive data uplinks wont be nessessary as the updates from the regions will be by Internet and as we know all you need there is a line and a pc to facilitate this.

I recognise that you can't put in every detail, but some things you do need. At least say the UN will consult a team of computer experts to determine the best system, and explain how you intend to prioritise, and how you will make the burden fairer on nations like mine with high donation rates.

But have you considered the sheer number of calculations this system would have to do to process all incoming requests and offers to donate (from nearly 40,000 large nations), and then decide where to send which organs?

"disease epidemics"?

Only one werewolf, and he's imported.

The disease I'm worried about is the one the Sarkarasetan Vampiric Virus evolved from. It infects the pain-transfering neurons of the spine near the pelvis, causing the victim to feel pain so intense all they can do is lie on the floor in a ball and cry. To this day, no known infection source of the virus has been found, but it can be transfered between people.

Oh, and an interesting side-effect of the virus is it can kill the HIV virus with ease, pretty much making those people immune to it. But the result isn't worth it.

The following information about SVV is interesting:

In DemonLordEnigma, a variety of vampires exist that are caused by a virus known as the Sarkarasetan Vampiric Virus. It results in the victims needing blood, like all vampirisms, and gives them increased strength, speed, and regeneration of tissues. It also gives them an effective form of immortality by editting out the shutdown commands present in cells, causing them to continue their division cycle indefinitely. However, the virus only affects adults, due to a currently unknown reason, and the victims of it are not affected by sunlight, holy objects, or the person who infected them dying. That said, Sarkarasetan vampires are still vulnerable to a wide range of ways to die that apply to Sarkarasetans. They do not have any appearance differences from Sarkarasetans.

Found here: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Vampire

All it really does is make them immune to aging, harder to kill, and forces them to drink blood. And, yes, the virus can infect humans.

over-all effective-ness of such a system

I'm worried about this too. I asked, but didn't get any response on whether anyone knew about how practical it is to transport organs internationally given the short time-window available for transplant. Then I kind of forgot about it for some reason.

So yes, anyone with medical expertise? Your judgement please?


Oh also, with the redraft remember to include something about how countries should make their own laws about the transplant of organs infected with diseases, keeping the interests of the recipients at the forefront (so that they can deal with specifics - e.g. although usually an HIV-infected organ shouldn't be transplanted, if the recipient also has HIV, it might be better to allow the transplant).

I am assured by my friends in the medical profession that live organs once properly stored must be transplanted within a 48 hour period. Ideally the Organs should be transplanted ASAP, But no later than 48 hours.

World Organ Donor Center.

Description.
Given that thousands of sick people die everyday needlessly while waiting for a suitable Donor Organ to become available,

Given that many Nations harvest their peoples organs after death and are left with an oversupply,

Recognising and enhancing the recommendations pertaining to organ donors governed by resolution #55, World Blood Bank,

Recognising and affirming article 4 of Resolution #26, the Universal Bill of Rights, and accepting that the membership of the UNWODC, by any Nation or individual is voluntary,

Extending the role of the International Red Cross / Crescent Organisation (IRCO) as per resolution #29,

Recognising the articles of resolution #49, Rights and duties of UN States,

Calling on the Nations of the UN to increase funding for both governmental and non governmental organisations charged with the implementation and administration of the UNWODC,

I propose that the UN Set up a World Organ Donor Centre (UNWODC) to centralise and process all the worlds organ needs. This will ensure that if the precious organs needed by sick and dying persons in a Nation where there are a lack of Donor Organs, can be sourced in another Nation. Once ratified by the Delegates and members of the UN a select implementation committee shall be set up and charged with consultation, tendering and resourcing of all materials, experts and tradesmen and implementing the UNWODC.

I propose The UNWODC shall issue Donor Cards to the peoples of all Nations to be signed on a voluntary basis so that on death donors organs can be harvested on finding the card and sent directly, after testing for type and condition, to the suitable patient in need of an organ transplant. In clarification, the UNWODC does not store the organs but directs the source where to ship the available organs and by what method, whilst simultaneously notifying the recipient patient and medical facility to be ready to begin the transplant as soon as the organs are delivered.

I propose funding for the UNWODC shall be sourced from the coffers of the International Community, By way of increased governmental funding, for relief and fund raisers held locally by the IRCO and other relief and charitable organisations.

I propose that the IRCO administrate the UNWODC, once implemented and make available their vast transport infrastructure. I call on all governments to give access to their territorial lands to the couriers of the UNWODC and assistance if required in delivery to the waiting patients. This will ensure the speedy delivery of the Organs to where they are required, with out delay.

I propose only healthy organs are used, and only for saving lives by way of organ transplant. In no way are the organs be used by peoples influenced by cannibalism, vampirism or any other nefarious use.

I propose that the criteria set down deciding which patients get the available organs, follow the following order,
1, Closest tissue type match and suitability for transplant,
2, Life expectancy of the patient, those in mortal danger prioritised,
3, Distance and infrastructure resulting in the delivery of transplantable organs,
All patients shall be treated equally and no patients shall get priority based on wealth or status. The criteria must be rigidly enforced.
I am aware that this will not save all the sick and dying people but it will give those who are still young, with everything to live for, a bloody good chance. Don’t let these People down. Don’t condemn them to die from inaction.
Approve and enact the UNWODC.
