"Stem Cells For Greater Health" said as follows;
Description: To the Peoples of the World Assembled,
NOTING the significant value of the use of stem cells in medical research and the untapped potential that those cells can provide,
ALARMED at the number of diseases and other injuries going either without treatment or with inadequate treatment due to the nature of said ailment,
EMPHASIZING the need to Guarantee the right of Nations to research and develop stem cell related cures, treatments, and a Patient’s right to use Stem Cell therapies.
1) GUARANTEES the right of Doctors to engage in Stem Cell research should they so choose.
2) SOLEMNLY AFFIRMS that no Doctors or Medical Institutions can be held liable if they choose not use Stem Cell-related treatments if it violates their own personal values and/or principles.
3) CREATES the Stem Cell and Alternative Treatment Research Office to the WHA. Their objective is to research and develop potential cures and medicines derived from Stem Cells to help combat the effects of illness and injury. They shall be attached to the Health Research and Development Division (HRDD). All breakthroughs and developments shall be published and put into the Public Domain.
4) AFFIRMS the right of Nations to decide the source of the Stem Cells they use for research and development. Also mandates that the Stem Cells must be harvested in the most humane and least destructive way possible.
5) ALLOWING for trade amongst Nations in Stem Cells of any kind including: Cells, Research Equipment, or Training. It shall be left to each National Government to determine compensation for any transaction completed. In the event of a dispute in this area of Trade, the HRDD shall have the authority to settle the dispute.
Bisim feels that this resolution may injure the rights of some nations by imposing a law that may contradict their religion, and that it is not wise to indorse one form of research as it may not be vital. Yet because the resolution gives the doctor the ability to withhold the medicine (which is what usually happens in Bisim) there is no assurance that all of the trouble that we have to go thought will be worth anything.
We also believe that no nation should impose its healthcare polices on another. There for we believe the WA shouldn't be forcing sperm mandates. There may have been some goodness in the heart of this resolution, but the answer to illness isn't to have the WA interfere with a nations research polices.
To sum up, the resolution had a good heart, but it died. The Republic of Bisim therefore submits the following legislation.
Repeal "Stem Cells for Greater Health"
NOTES the need for medical research.
APPLAUDS the good intentions of "Stem Cells for Greater Health
BELILVES that it is not the job of the WA to control nation's healthcare/research.
SHARES A CONCERN WITH OTHERS that it is not safe to support the research of only one technology.
ALSO NOTES that under the above mention legislation there is no mention of the patient's rights.
IS WORRIED that some people may take advantage of the ability to harvest and transport human sperm.
