Zed Rights! - Equality for the Living Impaired (IC)

[Persica Prime]

The Administratum of Persica proposes the following amendments to those nations and constitutions claiming to be and to promote freedom:

All persons born, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of [state] and of the State wherein they exist. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of [state]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life or unlife, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the state or any of its political subdivisions because of mortal condition. All men and women are, by nature, free and equal and have certain inalienable rights—among which are those of enjoying and defending life or unlife and liberty, acquiring, possessing and protecting property, and pursuing and obtaining safety and happiness. The dignity of the human being, regardless of mortal condition, is inviolable. No person living or unliving shall be denied the equal protection of the laws. Neither the state nor any person living or unliving, firm, corporation, or institution shall discriminate against any person living or unliving in the exercise of his civil or political rights.

[Asterdan]

Asterdan shall continue to shoot zombie's on sight. Or try to cure them. Probably that second one.

[New Pyrrhius]

We might be more accommodating if they weren't so concerned with eating our brains. For now, our solution will be as it has always been: Gratuitous violence.

[Blorbs]

Technically with zombies being treated like a sick person, murdering one is still illegal, but the secret EMR Inituitave http://www.nationstates.net/nation=blorbs/detail=factbook/id=316918 is allowed to kill them, and they are prepared to send warnings to the people. If we do get infected by zombie hordes, it is very possible a law will be passed in order to allow for the murdering of zombies, though.

[Cymrea]

The condition of the living impaired is one of physiology! We do not indiscriminately murder people with infectious diseases such as ebola or tuberculosism simply because they carry the threat of contagion and potential death. We do not indiscriminately murder those afflicted with psychiatric disorders, though they also threaten violence and injury.

It is incumbent upon us to treat the unliving condition as a medical condition, and to preserve the rights and dignities of the unliving; indeed, to protect their humanity - and our own, in the process!

[Zombie Fascists]

Pah! Our master race is superior to you in every way. You are not our equals!

Converts are accepted though...

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

Zombified citizens do have the same rights as before, although they may be treated as mentally ill criminals and/or traitorous mobs depending on the mental faculties and actions of the zombified citizens. Those afflicted with this form of lesser reanimation are encouraged to maintain their mental state until they can afford effective reanimation.

[Cymrea]

Furthermore, we assert that the term "zombie" is inherently discriminatory and damaging in its use and implication. The term should be immediately banned in favour of "living impaired".

That's even more discriminatory! We Zombie Fascists are proud of our heritage, and will not tolerate to be compared with the filthy living!

If you love a zombie, put a black lantern ring on it.

[Dakran]

Zeds are free...to be cured.

A cure for the medical conditions of the living impaired is welcome. But while they are afflicted, their rights must be preserved. Indiscriminate killing of the living impaired constitutes pre-meditated murder at best and genocide at worst.

[Pandeeria]

What's up with all these crazy nations giving them rights? They wish to cause violence and chaos. They're no better than hungry animals.

Hm. I was aiming for Mussolini and/or Hitler.

The way we see it, attempts to "cure" zombies are just as bad as the experiments made by the Japanese in Unit 731.

Are you kidding? Zombies don't have nearly the same processing power our glorious and inherently superior PCs have. Praise Gaben!

[Shaggai]

Been talking to Reg Shoe, I see?

How do you know what the living impaired wish if you're simply killing them out of hand? Your assertion that they are no better than hungry animals is grossly defamatory and bigoted.

How have you determined the processing abilities of the living impaired?


(For the record, all of my posts - and this thread - are IC. I will edit the title to reflect that.)

Zeds arent made by Intel, therefore they have the processing power of a potato, or apu, at least .

[Tyrygia]

As far as the government of Tyrygia is concerned, once a person is declared medically deceased their organs are removed to be given as transplants as required by Tyrygian law. Then either cremated or buried as per said persons personal preference.

Bah! More nonsensical slander and bigotry! The living impaired must have representation by those who can speak for them, since killing them indiscriminately allows them no voice. They remain human and they retain their human rights. Any nations who would claim freedom and human rights among their central tenets risk revealing their claims as lies and exposing their gross hypocrisy to the international community.

(Besides, AMD is where it's at.)

The practise of transplanting infected organs will very likely only exacerbate and spread the infection that causes unlife.

The living impaired tend to have contracted an exotic viral disease that impacts their condition. The Imperial Health Ministry and the Ministry of the Environment, following exhaustive research, have found that the best cure for this viral disease is to accelerate a small chunk of lead or other material to extreme velocities, directed at the cerebral cortex. While this typically causes serious trauma to the skull and brain, it also helps the living impaired manage the symptoms of their illness. Alternative methods include the detonation of nuclear weapons and the use of pressure waves to implode the skull, or the use of computer-guided air-launched cluster munitions to increase efficiency. Incineration or degradation of the skull and brain through napalm or chemical weapons is also effective, though slower to operate. The Imperial government resents the description that it is merely killing the living impaired out of hand- rather, we are giving them some of the most advanced healthcare in the world to help them manage their illness.

Additionally, those members of the unlife community who choose not to follow the Empire's laws will be dealt with by Imperial police units, as would any other citizen.

Zombies must respect the rights of the living. Otherwise they can't claim to be under the protection of a legal system they don't follow.
