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".

Given that the target is written by Second Sovereignty, a native of the Communist Bloc, we are obligated to vote for @Pallaith @Picairn

 

[Picairn]

Not simply any native, Tinfect is TCB's First Minister, the equivalent of their chief executive.
