General Assembly Resolution # 751
Repeal: “Cannibalism Act”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #691 “Cannibalism Act” (Category: Moral Decency; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The World Assembly,
Hereby expresses, in its opinion:
Horrified that the practice of cannibalism puts WA states at risk of major public health crises, due to incurable and fatal neurodegenerative disorders deriving from cannibalism affecting sapient species, such as humans, that are very hard to detect based on technologies common across the multiverse, have devastating effects on the physical and mental ability of infected, and inevitably terminal for sapient individuals affected;
Even more terrified by the idea that the target resolution allows "person-sourced meat" to be sourced from those granting "the affirmative and notarised written consent of every person from whom it was produced", which neglects that, due to WA laws on legal competence (GA299), allow the ghastly situation of legal parents or guardians granting consent to themselves to eat their own children without their children's consent;
Noting that consent to be consumed should be able to be withdrawn at any time but that humans near death may not be able to rescind such so-called affirmative and notarised consent, such as the lack of access to a notary, the cost of a notary, or through their own substantial health issues;
Convinced that the collective benefits of avoiding horrible, painful deaths from consuming, even if inadvertently, food derived from cannibalism all WA states multiverse outweigh the minor infringement of autonomy on the part of the dead or the living, or the failure to satisfy the culinary preferences of a tiny portion of the populace;
Flummoxed that the said resolution's blocker in clause 6 means that humans can be force-fed meat from other humans under some circumstances, against the consent of the consumer;
Noting that an outright ban on cannibalism across WA states is not possible because of the blocker in clause 6 of the target resolution, where the WA "disclaims all authority to impose additional restrictions on cannibalism or person-sourced meat";
Urging the World Assembly to give careful as to whether a replacement is even necessary in the first place, and, if deemed so, to vote in favor of an outright ban on cannibalism;
Hereby repeals GA691, Cannibalism Act.
