Ehh, I think it would set a good example for the Aurentine people (in all seriousness, I simply support bringing tax evasion charges against these people and impeaching them)

Yeah... I think I'd go with charges and impeachment for the tax-evaders, seems the more reasonable option. Punishment fitting the crime, and all that.

There is no need to sponsor this bill as a more specific and legally binding one already exists in the queue.

I'm currently writing a bill establishing an opt-out system of organ donation. Is there already a bill on the subject?

Organ Donation and Transplantation Act
Urgency: High | Author: Geilinor [NDP] | Category: Health
Co-sponsors: Oneracon(RG)

Preamble
Recognizing that organ transplantation is a life-saving medical procedure, but there are insufficient organs available. Regulations must also be in place to ensure that the supply of donated organs is used as effectively as possible,

Understanding that measures must be taken to increase the supply of donated organs,

Hereby passes the Organ Donation and Transplantation Act.


Section 1 - Definitions
"Trained medical professional" or "medical practitioner" shall be defined as a medical doctor who is practicing with a license.

"Legal death" shall be defined as the irreversible cessation of brain and/or heart and lung activity.

Section 2 - National Transplant Organization
1. The National Transplant Organization (NTO) shall be established within the Ministry of Health. The NTO shall be responsible for coordinating the activities of donation, extraction, preservation, distribution, exchange, and transplantation of organs, tissues and cells within the Aurentine healthcare system.
2. The NTO shall create a code of safety and ethics to be followed during organ harvesting and transplantation, in addition to the provisions of this legislation.
3. The NTO shall create a national database where information about organs available to be harvested and recipients is available to medical practitioners.

Section 3 - Organ Donation
1. A presumed consent system of organ donation shall be establish, where consent to postmortem organ donation shall be presumed, but individuals shall be able to opt-out through a variety of mechanisms designed by the NTO, such as through the Internet or by phone.
2. All donations must be performed by trained medical professionals.
3. Living donors shall be evaluated to determine suitability to donate based on the possible psychological and physical responses to the donation process.
4. Organs must be examined to determine their suitability for donation.
5. Family members may object to the donation if they can show that the deceased would not have wanted to become an organ donor.
6. In the case of postmortem donation, organs may begin to be removed after the onset of legal death.
7. The NTO shall preserve and transport donated organs to the locations where they are needed.

Section 4 - Recipients
1. Information about potential organ recipients shall be posted to the NTO database.
2. Potential recipients shall be prioritized based on need as determined by a medical professional.
3. A person shall be declared a potential recipient if a new organ has the potential to measurably improve their health.

Section 5 - Incentives
1. A public awareness campaign to encourage living organ donation shall be carried out by the NTO.
2. Living donors shall be compensated by the government for transportation costs and lost salary.

A similar opt-out system in Spain has caused it to have the world's highest rate of organ donation.

A similar opt-out system in Spain has caused it to have the world's highest rate of organ donation.

It's not a comment on you religious beliefs, just a general thought I have had for a while. Given the relative qulaties or shall we say personal characteristics God possesses (through of course how he revels himself to us in the Bible) it to my mind is entirely plausible that Hell is the place to end up after death. If there does indeed turn out to be an afterlife in the christian manner. In other words be a slave to your want's in hell or be god's slave in haven.

Opposed due to Ministry of Education plans to implement a completely new system, and because lots of this doesn't seem like much of a change from what we have now.


so what do you have now? you're the minister, it's your decision to oppose it, but saying you completely oppose it seems a little narrow-minded to me... maybe i can ghelp with the new one?
