[Passed] Repeal "Quarantine Regulation"

Postby Umeria » Sun Sep 04, 2016 6:53 pm

This is a repeal of this resolution. [replacement effort here]
The World Assembly,

Understanding that the logistics of quarantines raise many issues due to the individual's needs conflicting with society's;

Acknowledging that the resolution puts a number of measures into place which fixes some of these issues and improves the standards of quarantines;

Regretting that 385 GA fails to cover many issues involving medical ethics and medicine within a quarantine;

Questioning whether the resolution's four point definition of "treatment" is malleable enough to cover untested methods or procedures;

Concerned that 385 GA requires any appropriate treatment available to be given to infected persons regardless of whether the treatment would, as a side effect, permanently cripple the person;

Unsettled by the resolution's mandate to put infected persons in the nearest quarantine to them, causing drastic displacement if a person happened to be far away from their home at the time;

Distraught by 385 GA's complete lack of information on what constitutes appropriate force when restraining infected persons attempting to escape a quarantine;

Believing that the resolution does not properly address these matters, and skims many central issues on the topic of quarantines;

Worried that 385 GA makes it extremely difficult to pass further legislation on ethical problems as pertaining to quarantines;

Hoping to clear the hastiness of the resolution from these halls and pass a new resolution that fills the gaping hole 385 GA created;

Hereby repeals "Quarantine Regulation".

"Look, I'm not one to speak on repealing your own resolutions, but doesn't it look kinda bad when the author of a resolution has drafted a repeal immediately afterwards?" Schultz asks. "I at least waited a few months."

Parsons: Well, I'm not sure about where you live, but... (Parsons says some wankery about how depression in some species on some planet somewhere he heard about via some ambassador might be contagious through some process unknown to Imperial science. And yes, this is an OOC comment about how this is a sarcastic remark targeted at alien wank.)

Basically to move towards a better solution, which, due to duplication concerns, the original resolution blocks. To Umeria, I can again guarantee campaigning, approval, and voting support on the behalf of the region, so long as I am Delegate.

Cogoria sees no reason to repeal the current legislation. The current wording permits our nation to continue to deal with epidemics in our tried and tested ways. Introducing further levels of bureaucracy will only slow down the systems in place, putting more lives than necessary at risk.

Many of our means may be considered unethical by ignorant foreigners, the needs if the many outweigh the lives of the few. The proud patriots of our nation have given their lives in the past, and will gladly do so again

((Ooc I did raise the point that the legislation when it was being drafted permitted unrestricted culling of infected populations.....))

I must wonder though... why didn't you make a request to withdraw the original when it was submitted/in-queue? You had ample time.

It was at vote when Bell spoke up. I was asking if anyone had any more objections for about a month after my final edits, and Bell comes in just as it comes to vote. Typical. Of my luck, I mean, not of Bell.

No, you didn't. Before the voting you were like "Hey, you have an opportunity to make a medical ethics board about this. Could solve a lot of issues regarding disease control". I thought "Eh, I'll just stick to the basics for now". I said as much, but got no response. When it got to vote you were like "This resolution has a gaping hole in it because it doesn't have an ethics board. Without an ethics board you can't cover this and this and this".

OOC: that's what raising the issue is. I just didn't get vocal until after. The criticism was there, you chose to ignore it.

That's ridiculous. I took all his other advice he gave in the same post. When he mentioned an ethics board I thought he just meant the clause 1 definition. Since SP didn't say anything else until the vote, I had thought I made the right decision.
