[Draft 3] - Repeal Rights of Sapient Species

[Simone]

The World Assembly (WA),

Applauds the intention of GAR#355 to protect the rights of all sapient species, reflecting the diversity of species across the multiverse;

Notes, however, that the target resolution has significant flaws that neuter its ability to protect the rights of sapient species, namely the lack of a definition of what constitutes—

1. "mentally ill" under paragraph 6 of the resolution, thus allowing for varying and potentially malicious interpretations in the absence of any WA resolutions to the contrary, and
2. "normal" adult humans under paragraph 8 of the resolution, thus granting broad discretion to each WA state to interpret this clause at will;

Believes that the WA already has numerous resolutions in place that protect the rights of sapient species, and

Strives for a replacement that rectifies such defects, and the lack of clarity in the target resolution, if the WA deems it necessary, hereby

Repeals GA#355, "Rights of Sapient Species."

 

[Simone]

The main argument is that "the mentally ill are not sapient" is a really bad idea.
