We in Windurst belive Euthanasia to be Immoral and is something that people do to animals and shouldn't be done to humans. We highly vaule our nations members lives and we seek to cure them and let them die when their time comes.

Description: UN Resolution #43: Legalise Euthanasia (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: NOTING THAT Resolution #43 is immoral by forcing nations that have had Euthanasia illegal due to their beliefs make it legal because they think it should be legal.

WHERE is the justice? The person who proposed this asked. IN my veiw its was in the minds of the government that made this Illegal due to the fact that if said person continues to life and dieing from an illness their may be a chace they can be cured if one is out and if not gives doctors more time to study them to find a cure.

ALSO NOTING THAT it gives no mention if said person is in a coma with a living will saying they wanna live and one of their family decides to "put them down" like they are a sick or eldery animal.

BELIEVING this Resolution is immoral and sould be repealed giving the nations to right to choose to have it legal or not.

ALSO NOTING many nations find the use of god used in a resolution offensive and the closeness of this vote.

FINALLY I believe when its your time to go you that is when you should die and not choose your own time yourself because you don't like the cards life delt you.

REPEALS UN Resolution #43 Legalise Euthanasia

Please join me and repeal resolution #43 if people live we have time to cure them if they just die by the same way we kill out pets its immoral and ruins our chances or finding a cure and pushing the time of a cure back.

Your argument seems to be little more than a statement that your nation finds euthanasia to be immoral. Also, you present no hard facts as to why the legislation should be repelled.

The government of Karlania stands firm in its belief that people should have the right to end their lives with dignity if they so chose and have no brighter prospects.

We support a repeal of Resolution #43, but we could not in good faith support this draft. I think you need to clean up the grammar a little. Also, #43 is essentially a rambling essay; is this honestly much better?

We in Windurst belive Euthanasia to be Immoral and is something that people do to animals and shouldn't be done to humans.Wrong - Euthanasia means that the person has the choice - animals don't get that choice. When was the last time you heard a vet asking a cat if it wants to die? I have not seen a horse asked to sign a consent form. I certainly have not seen a herd of sheep opting to kill a family member in a coma. They are nothing alike.

If you've got it so fundamentally wrong in the first sentence it does not fill me with confidence for the actual proposal. NOTING THAT Resolution #43 is immoral by forcing nations that have had Euthanasia illegal due to their beliefs make it legal because they think it should be legal.I feel that forcing your population to live in suffering is immoral, I feel that forcing your population to comply with the the beliefs of your government is immoral. Thus it is not immoral to oppose this.WHERE is the justice? The person who proposed this asked. IN my veiw its was in the minds of the government that made this Illegal due to the fact that if said person continues to life and dieing from an illness their may be a chace they can be cured if one is out and if not gives doctors more time to study them to find a cure.Depends on the disease and medical progress – it’s impossible to generalise. I think the patient should be given the facts before committing to a decision. But the fact a cure may be invented in 20 years time is not much help for someone with 6 months to live.ALSO NOTING THAT it gives no mention if said person is in a coma with a living will saying they wanna live and one of their family decides to "put them down" like they are a sick or eldery animal.I don’t know any family so immoral and apathetic to treat someone in their family like that – I pity you if that’s your experience.BELIEVING this Resolution is immoral and sould be repealed giving the nations to right to choose to have it legal or not.I disagree, I think it’s immoral for nations to have the choice, rather the individual.ALSO NOTING many nations find the use of god used in a resolution offensive and the closeness of this vote.That’s the one point you have made that is valid, also the least relevant.FINALLY I believe when its your time to go you that is when you should die and not choose your own time yourself because you don't like the cards life delt you.I believe you (the state) are wrong to decide what other people do – this resolutions allows the individual to make that choice, not the state.

I am the anti-fluff

I would very much like to see the travesty that is resolution #43 repealed. However, this repeal includes sentiments that I cannot possibly endorse.

No support.

OOC: Wasn't it once used to justify a prostitute genocide, because someone decided all their prostitutes 'needed' to be euthanised, and the resolution gave them scope to do so?

Oh, I'm not saying #43 is perfect, simply that a repeal on these grounds is unacceptable for my government to endorse as it promotes the supremacy of national soverignty over personal soverignty, which on this issue is considered fundamentally wrong.

OOC: Yep - the late, great Joccia. One of my regrets in the game is that I wasn't more aware of this at the time. It carried on in International Incidents, a forum I'd never even considered looking at.
