Repeal "Legalise Euthanasia"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal


Resolution: #43


Proposed by: Pro-Sovereignty Babes

Description: UN Resolution #43: Legalise Euthanasia (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: RECOGNIZES that the issue of Euthanasia is a difficult issue in which good people may, and often do, disagree.

ARGUES that euthanasia proposes to eliminate suffering by eliminating the one who suffers. Euthanasia violates the principle that each human being has intrinsic dignity and value, regardless of age, physical or mental condition, or state of dependency.

ACKNOWLEDGES this repeal will not prohibit Euthanasia in any nation, but permit it to be a daily issue in which a nation may decide this issue for themselves.

RECALLS Resolution #147 "Abortion Legality Convention" in which the controverial issue of abortion was taken out of the jurisdiction of the United Nations and returned to nations to decide. Euthanasia is a similar issue that should not have the world body mandate how every nation should believe.

FURTHER ARGUES The United Nations should be able to welcome nations that have differing opinions on controversial issues such as this one. The original vote on this resolution was 10,810 (for) to 10,031 (against). Such an obviously divisive issue should not be mandated upon nations one way or the other. Resolution #43 does exactly that.

This is a good bill. Legalized Euthanasia is a national issue. The fact that an international body would even have the nerve to propose such a piece of trash, and then it passing, makes me sick.

[Sheynat]

Why does the UN keep passing things I agree with, but can't vote for because they trample on national sovereignity?

lol

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

Yay for Euthanasia...in some cases. I vote not to repeal.

[Skwerrel]

Meh, legalized euthanasia is very unethical, cruel and the tells people that, yep, they aren't worth anything.

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

no no no...i'm not talking about Nazi euthanasia. I'm talking about the kind of don't know where you are or are in terrible pain kind of euthanasia. I'd want death. Nothing to do with self value. I'd of course require stringent measures to ensure that it wasnt abused.

[Sheynat]

Yeah, it's not referring to "lol you're sick, we kill you now bai bai." It's more "somebody kill me plz". And repealing this wouldn't ban euthanasia, it would just allow countries to ban it. If it did ban euthanasia, I'd be against it.

[Skwerrel]

I guess you're right.. I mean, those sickly people don't really have anything to contribute to society anymore and no one will miss them.

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

erm...thats not why i'd legalize it. Its true they are draining on society, but id only offer it to them if they wanted it, and not push them off the plank so to speak.
