Biomedical Donation Omnibus Act
A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.
Category: Health
Area: Healthcare
Proposed by: Magecastle Embassy Building A5
The World Assembly,
Recognising the importance of having a strong and functioning healthcare system, and viewing various bigoted restrictions on biomedical donation as not only discriminatory, but harmful to the quality of world healthcare,
Emphasising that even with the efforts of "Biomedical Donor Rights" and "Blood Donation Safety and Equality Act", member nations are still allowed to discard blood donations by minority groups due to antiquated, bigoted beliefs, and further efforts are needed to improve the quality of biomedical donation and its responsible use to improve world healthcare,
Enacts as follows, subject to relevant past World Assembly resolutions still in force _
Definition: Biomedical tissue, in this resolution, refers to biological material -- including body fluids -- from a sapient being, as well as products and components thereof, used for administration to another patient or medical research.
Freedom to donate: No person may be discriminated against in biomedical tissue donation, including use of donated biomedical tissue, based on that person's holding or lack of any arbitrary, reductive characteristic.
Subject to World Assembly law, member nations may -- to the extent necessary to minimise spread via donated biomedical tissue of a disease that lacks accurate testing and is carried by biomedical tissue -- ban administration or donation of biomedical tissue from all persons who are or have recently been in an area wherein there is or has recently been an outbreak of that disease.
No member nation may penalise an individual for donating or seeking to donate their biomedical tissue.
Storage: Donated biomedical tissue storage facilities are to, where possible, prevent stored biomedical tissue from getting contaminated, including by other stored biomedical tissue, with contaminants that would make the administration of that tissue to some patient unsafe.
Safety: Other provisions of this resolution notwithstanding, no person may have biomedical tissue administered or extracted in a manner posing undue risk to that person's health, absent informed consent to the same from that person provided without any coercion or external material incentives.
