The author made some confusion with letters and numbers in clause 7.

Greetings folks. Many thanks to your delegate, Libetarian Republics, for directing me here. I ask for your votes in favour of this resolution. A very brief summary is: 1) This replaces the Sexual Privacy Act which was repealed a few months ago. 2) This resolution permits member states to legislate on incest, but only where there is a chance that procreation can result. The repeal of the SPA rested on the inability of member states to restrict incest where children would be likely to have congenital disorders resulting. Therefore, we included this exception here at 7b 3) It also allows member states to legislate against breaches of professional ethics , eg in doctor-patient relationships. 4) It allows professional bodies to also discipline members for such breaches of professional ethics. 5) If a nation doesn't set an age of consent, the expectation of privacy only extends to relationships where both parties are above the national age of majority. 6) Otherwise, it keeps governments out of people's bedrooms. And yes, teh numbers/letters in clause 7 is a little off, but by putting the first part as 7(a) I was able to reference it in clause 8. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. |

Against. This proposal is poorly written, children do not have a right to sexual privacy, and incest itself is harmful to society and ought to be criminalized because it undermines the family. |

I stand firmly against the notion that the World Assembly should be able to place a blanket ban on incest. Despite my personal views on the subject, member nations should be able to decide for themselves whether two consenting adults should be allowed to partake in intercourse, regardless of their family ties. |

Part of me wants to say the exceptions in 7 b c, & d should be mandates, not mere permissions, binding upon nations instead of optional courses they may take if they like. I guess there's also a small extent to which that's properly a national issue. It'd be interesting to see if a broader law on sexual harassment or employer exploitation of consent would be ruled legal should this pass. Overall, support. |

In Favour! Ambrosia, It doesn't blanket ban incest - it allows them to ban incest where procreation is possible. |

I know it doesn't. I was countering Christian Democrats' position. |
