Euthanasia Legality Convention - Eisophca - 06-16-2006
Quote: Euthanasia Legality Convention
A resolution to restrict civil freedoms in the interest of moral decency.
Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Pro-Sovereignty Babes
Description: RECOGNIZING that good people disagree over the issue of Euthanasia. Since euthanasia can be broadly defined to mean very different things (from consent to withdrawing food and water) there are also many degrees of opinion.
ACKNOWLEDGING that there are many nations who believe Euthanasia is a human rights issue, to give people the right to have euthanasia legal, while others see euthanasia as a human rights issue to protect members of their society from active euthanasia. Further acknowledging that there are many more opinions that divide people on this issue.
BELIEVING that for the United Nations to rule decisively on this issue one way or the other would prevent those who disagree to violate their core beliefs from being a part of this world body.
REGRETTING that strong opinions on both sides will fail to bring those who disagree to any reasonable agreement on this issue,
SEEKING to establish a middle ground:
DECLARES that individual nations have the right to declare euthanasia legal or illegal, and to pass legislation extending or restricting the right to Euthanasia.
URGES the UN to pursue unity over all "deeply divisive" issues like abortion and euthanasia. This will prevent a Dis-United Nations and allow more participation from nations who might not otherwise choose to be involved.[/quote]

I regard things like this (including the ALC) as being complete cop-outs. AGAINST.
[edit] Following discussion on Jolt, Hack has ruled this illegal on the grounds of not actually doing anything.
