Repeal: "Protection Of Biomedical Research"
Category: Repeal | Target: GA#425
Proposed by: Simone Republic | Onsite Topic​
The World Assembly (WA),

Applauding the noble intent of the target resolution to regulate the ethics of biomedical research, including the treatment of cancer;

Dismayed that clause 1 imposes the requirement for WA states to “determine the sapience of any species for which the status is as-yet indeterminate or unknown” before allowing “ biomedical experimentation on said species", and that a similar requirement is imposed regarding “life provably sentient” in clause 5;

Flummoxed that the clauses impose an onerous and, for some WA states, perhaps unattainable determination on sapience or sentience, in terms of potential false negatives or false positives on whether a species does or does not have sapience or sentience;

Horrified at the potential harmful effects of both "false negatives" or "false positives" on the suffering caused to various species;

Looking forward to a potential replacement to fix these issues to be considered by the WA in due course, if the WA considers this appropriate;

Hereby repeals the target resolution, GA425 "Protection of Biomedical Research".

Overview

Repeal: "Protection of Biomedical Research" targets a repeal of GA#425 for its insistence on testing for sapience, arguing that testing for sapience as such is a test that should not be made.

Recommendation

It is certainly true that tests for sapience should be made more carefully, while it is true that no sapient species should be test on in biomedical research. Additionally, the author of the target, Second Sovereignty, is sanctioned by The North Pacific as the First Minister of the Communist Bloc, and we are obligated to vote for a repeal of any of their resolutions.

For this reason, we recommend a vote FOR Repeal: "Protection of Biomedical Research".

This IFV Recommendation was written by Vapid in collaboration with the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs.
