Repeal "Organ and Blood Donations Act"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#175

Proposed by: The Dourian Embassy

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #175: Organ and Blood Donations Act (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Acknowledging the principles this resolution asks us to observe and admiring its intentions,

Noting that while blood transfusions to incompatible donors aren't common, they are sometimes needed when compatible blood is unavailable,

Further noting that the resolution bars usage of any infected or diseased organs, without regard for the health of a patient to whom a chronic disease is preferable to death,

Noting that the health risks this resolution prevents are often much less severe than health risks associated with fatal blood loss or organ failure,

Regretting that the narrowness of the resolution blocks reasonable medical care as provided by medical professionals,

Hereby repeals "Organ and Blood Donation Act".

TNP-resident WA members, please post your position on the resolution in this thread, or send it to me by PM here, or by TG at nationstates.net.
 
Vote is being cast against the repeal. I tend not to like repeals since they are overused especially with resolutions that were just adopted with overwhelming support.
 
Voting on this resolution has ended.

Thanks to those nations who cast their votes. Your participation is a great help to the region.
