Four drafts later, and I've submitted it. Thought is should have a new thread now that it's been submitted.
BELIEVING that scientific experimentation on unwilling or unknowing persons is wrong.
BELIEVING that the use of humans incapable of choosing, or understanding the choice, of volunteering for experimentation is wrong.
DEFINING "scientific experimentation on a person" as the testing of chemicals upon, dissection, study, genetic modification, or other alteration, modification, experimentation, behavioral modification, situation modification, or other investigative probing/testing/experimentation on a living human being or other person/sentient being.
EXCLUDING for this proposal fetus, stem cells, and individual separated body parts from the above definition.
DECLARING that the above definition does not include everyday benign tests such as censuses, IQ tests, tests of knowledge, ability, comprehension or other such tests.
DECLARING that the above definition excludes everyday benign health status tests such as blood tests, DNA tests,heart-rate tests, disease tests or any other such benign, standard form of testing or information gathering.
DEFINING for the purposes of this resolution, a "Decision Impaired Person (DIP)" as a human/sentient being mentally incapable of understanding the results and implications of experimentation. Such as someone whom is autistic, retarded, mentally ill, intoxicated or under the influence of a controlled substance.
MANDATING that no human may be experimented on without explicitly given consent.
MANDATING that any person may refuse consent after having given it, at any point, except in the case where refusal will result in death due to an incomplete experiment or study, where they must be informed of the possibility of death
MANDATING that no child may be experimented on without parent/guardian consent, and that governments take measures to assure that consenting parents have the child's best interests in mind, and that the experiment does not pose serious risk to the child.
MANDATING that no mentally ill or Decision Impaired Person may be experimented upon without consent of a parent, guardian, or close relative, if none is available, they will not be experimented upon.
MANDATING that no person may be forced or coerced by employers, military superiors, government officials or anybody else to participate in experimentation.
MANDATING that all mentally capable people who volunteer for experimentation be made fully aware of all parameters of said experiment, including but not limited to: time frame, chemicals involved, experiment success/failure rates, possible risks and known/suspected side-effects, and research purpose of the experiment.
MANDATING that consent for any experimentation on a fetus or egg or other equivalent factor in reproduction be relegated to the mother, with the application of the relevant above articles.
FOUNDS the HEO (Human Experimentation Organization) directed by the UN to:
I- Insure the above legislation is followed.
II- Look into safer methods of experimentation, and alternate means than human or animal testing.
III- Lobby UN and Non-UN nations for minimum safety standards for experiments.
IV- Co-operate with UN and non-UN nations to produce safer and more comfortable experimentation environments.
