Repeal “Sexual Privacy Act”
Resolution targeted: GA resolution #16 “Sexual Privacy Act”
Argument: The World Assembly,
Aware that some of the various health problems from which people can suffer have a genetic basis,
Understanding the basic principles of both genetics and statistics,
Recognising therefore that such health problems are more likely to occur in those individuals whose parents were closely related to each other than they are to occur in individuals with parents less closely related to each other,
Believing that in some cases it may be considered desirable to reduce the incidence of such health problems,
Noting that one method for making such a reduction would be to restrict the rights of closely-related people to produce children together,
Recognising that GA Resolution #16, the “Sexual Privacy Act”, effectively bars member nations from imposing any such restrictions,
Hoping that any new resolution that might subsequent be passed to replace GA Resolution #16 will take this factor into account;
Hereby repeals GA Resolution #16, the “Sexual Privacy Act”.
