[SUBMITTED] Safe Medicine

[Infectious Microorganisms]

Why are you making drugs to fight viruses in the first place? We shouldn't be giving out money to help governments develop antiviral drugs. That's like paying people to commit genocide.

We agree!!

Actually no, that URGES clause means nations can ignore the recommendations of the committee. They will be URGED, but they won't be required to actually ban anything.

Actually with the language in the proposal as it is. The committee it creates is tasked with creating guidelines that outlaw any medicine with "bad side effects"

Where do you see any language that says "outlaw", "ban", etc.? All the committee does is examine, test, create guidelines, establish safety standards and provide funding. It isn't outlawing or banning anything. The legislation does, however, urge nations to "avoid making a medicine that has blatant health risks" -- which again doesn't outlaw or ban anything, it's only discouraging the use of (for example) chemo drugs.

Did this fail to make quorum or was it pulled?

OOC: I guess you've noticed it's been removed? When I sent in my GHR I did request that the mods, whether they ruled the proposal legal or not, comment here, so we could have some guidance on the category, as this is still a new one with no real precedent for players to go on.

Thank you - wasn't sure why it had gone.
