Repeal "Organ and Blood Donations Act"

[Eluvatar]

Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#175
Proposed by: [nation]The Dourian Embassy[/nation]

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #175: Organ and Blood Donations Act (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Acknowledging the principles this resolution asks us to observe and admiring its intentions,

Noting that the informed consent of a subject is impossible to acquire in the case of brain death but not actual death,

Also noting that postmortem donation of hearts is nearly impossible,

Supporting the right of next-of kin to have viable options to enforce the wishes of their loved ones in cases of brain death,

Seeking to expand the availability and viability of organs provided by still living but brain dead patients with consent of next-of-kin,

Regretting the lack of exception in compatibility testing for emergency universal donor blood transfusion,

Wishing that, in cases of emergency, universal donor blood could be used without compatibility testing and it's accompanied delay in care,

Feeling that patients in WA Member Nations deserve a higher quality of transplants and transfusions than what is currently allowed under this resolution,

Hoping to present the World Assembly an opportunity to pass a more open version of this resolution that is mindful of best medical practices,

Hereby repeals "Organ and Blood Donation Act".

what are these so called "better" medical practices? The old bill is pretty straight forward, and I assume things are done the best people know how to, modern medicine is the same anywhere in the world and I don't think NS world would be any different.

Phew, thanks for posting this Eluvatar.

Yes, I find this repeal to be rediculous. If you read the original text, you will find that these flaws aren't as bad as they are said to be, or don't exist at all. Provisional vote against.

Hello,

I am sending you this telegram because I believe that you should withdraw your approval from the General Assembly proposal Repeal "Organ and Blood Donations Act."

The repeal proposal is based on a number of misconceptions about the Organ and Blood Donations Act.



Unlike the repeal proposal says, consent can be obtained from the relatives of patients.



Unlike the repeal proposal says, organs can be removed from brain dead patients without their consent.



Unlike the repeal proposal says, emergency blood transfusions can be given without testing being done beforehand.

For more details, you can read this: nation=cd_tg_puppet/detail=factbook/id=main

The Organ and Blood Donations Act, which originally passed with 68 percent support, is an important piece of legislation that ensures the health and safety of patients and the availability of healthy organs for transplantations and blood for transfusions.

The player who is making this current repeal attempt has attempted to repeal this resolution in the past on grounds of opposing sensible blood testing and the belief that it is acceptable to use diseased organs for transplants. When he made his last attempt, his proposal failed 70 percent to 30 percent.

Do not let him succeed this time. Stand in favor of blood testing and safe organ transplants.

Please withdraw your approval from the repeal proposal, and vote against it if it reaches the floor for a vote.

Thank you for your time,

P.S. If you have any questions, please reply to this telegram.

Here is a copy of the Organ and Blood Donations Act, which needs to be maintained:

Hey there! I saw you voted against the current resolution at vote. I'm the author and I was hoping to spend some time explaining why the piece of legislation I'm repealing is bad, and how it could be better. There are many specifics that I could go into, but the base point is this:

The original author screwed up, he has an idea of the kinds of things a resolution on health care should include, but with the inexact language it's a mess. Something like this should be left up to medical professionals, like the ones that are working on drafting replacement resolutions once this one is repealed.

Oh and if you'd like to take part in the discussion on working on the replacement, here's a link to the thread. viewtopic.php?f=9&t=193536

I hope you change your vote on the repeal and help support the replacement, thank you.

Exactly, so what it gives no exact guidelines for the medical practice? It's not the WA's place to set medical practice standards, and as I said before, I believe modern medicine is practiced well all over the world. Nothing wrong with the original bill I think.
