Repeal: “Blood Donation Safety And Equality Act”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#546
Proposed by: Magecastle Embassy Building A5
General Assembly Resolution #546 “Blood Donation Safety and Equality Act” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The World Assembly,
Affirming its support for equality for minorities from discrimination, and recognising the noble aims of the resolution to promote this aim in the scope of blood donation,
Believing, however, that the resolution ultimately does more harm than good, due to the resolution's criminalisation of knowing donation of blood carrying a disease making no exception for donation of that blood for medical research,
Observing that as a result, the resolution dramatically harms world healthcare and medical research, as the diseased blood may very well be useful for research -- especially that on the disease carried by that blood -- even if the blood would be unusable for administration to a patient,
Noting that the resolution also fails to adequately stop discrimination in blood donation and only pushes it a level back, as there is nothing stopping member nations from allowing minority groups to donate blood but then immediately discarding the donated blood due to the donor's belonging to that minority group,
Seeking to open the doors to a replacement that resolves these issues so as to improve world anti-discrimination law,
Repeals "Blood Donation Safety and Equality Act".
