Condemning the use of forced eugenics,

Applauding the measures contained in GAR #38 "Convention Against Genocide" against the use of eugenics to further an agenda of ethnic cleansing,

Convinced that it should be the guardian's prerogative, and not a state's or a medic's, whether their unborn offspring undergoes genetic modification,

Subject to its previous, extant legislation, the World Assembly hereby:

1. Forbids member states, or the governments of any political subdivision thereof, from incentivising the genetic modification of any sapient offspring prior to their birth, except for incentivising the remedy or elimination of disorders, disabilities, or diseases;

2. Prohibits any individual or entity from genetically modifying or commanding the genetic modification of sapient offspring prior to their birth without the informed consent of the offspring's legal guardians; and

3. Forbids any individual or entity from compelling, forcing, or coercing a legal guardian to give consent to the genetic modification of their offspring prior to their birth.

To quote clause 1: "1. Forbids member states, or the governments of any political subdivision thereof, from incentivising the genetic modification of any sapient offspring prior to their birth, except for incentivising the remedy or elimination of disorders, disabilities, or diseases" (emphasis our own).

This exception would allow a government to designate something a "disorder" or "disability" if they wished to eliminate it. And there are plenty of communities of people with "disorders" or "disabilities" as commonly labelled in the world today who do not wish for their condition to be changed - I would direct fellow ambassadors to the large volume of writings from members of both the autistic and the deaf community who vehemently oppose the "cure" or elimination of their conditions.

As this proposal stands, it will still allow for eugenics against a number of groups, such as those two named above, and thus the delegation from Lauchenoiria cannot support it as it stands."

This text is based on the fact that the link between state eugenics and racist genocides is obvious. This is not the case. As it has been pointed out by other diplomats, eugenics are mostly used for pharmaceutical and health benefits. In a way, experimentation for genetic ends can constitute the development of health aid against serious diseases (and we specify that if we speak of "experimentation" it is because the field of genetics is still experimental, not that we necesseraly play with the genes of individuals without their knowledge).

But, the main problem with this article, in addition to leaning a bit towards godwinish arguments, is that it does not take into account the principals of a socialist national health insurance policy, nor the endangering of public health. In many liberal countries, health services are reserved for those who can afford them. In addition to being disadvantageous, this also poses the problem of the spread of these diseases in the population. And this is precisely what a nationalisation of a health system can regulate: it is not "toralitarianism". Sure some socialist state are more liberal than other, but that doesn't mean (in the cases of authoritarian socialism) that state control is necessarily bad.

So then why would we enforce a clinical treatment if we aren't evil dictators? Well, as said above, your article puts the public in danger. Being in good health is not a matter of "civil law", it's a civic duty in addition to being a matter of common sense. Curing someone is also about protecting others (as thoses diseases can be transmitted). So this is why a cure can be mandatory: we are not going to ask a person who has a transmitable disabling disease if he wants to be treated since the healthy people who would have contracted the illness because of those who refuse treatment had no say here. And that's not to mention the case of mental disease were patients are not able to take care if themselves without assistance. It is the state's responsibility to ensure health safety both for healthy people and disabilited people.
In addition, as the diplomat from Lauchenoiria explained, the exception of clause 1 is completely obsolete. Hypothetically, any state can define anything as disorder. This Laws are essentially punishing those who use eugenics as health care while letting others abuse it. And even if the text would forbid any use of eugenic methodes without any discernment, that would be a false judgement. Because it's not the tools or the methodes that are evil, it's who uses them. And to attempt to block an area of ​​health research just because it has been used for destructive purposes in the past is absolutely preposterous.

Not only does this proposal feels poorly thought, but it threatens our country health care system aswell as the health of our citizen.
