Loading...Refugia, I have a question. If you have your arm cut off and replaced with a bionic prosthetic, are you a cyborg?
In this nine thousand paragraph essay, I wil-

I should mention, since it's at vote, that I'm in favour of the current GA repeal regarding voting rights of prisoners. Basically, the existing legislation reserves the right for nations to bar inmates from voting, and the repeal wants that off the books so we can have something that protects that right. It's barebones but pretty straightforward, and there's a decent chance a replacement will pass if it's well done. Not a lot more to say about it.
It's gotta be atleast 15% of your body mass bionic for you to quality as a cyborg
Certainly in the thread, there's a lot less interest in the replacement than there is for the repeal. That being said, I feel there is almost always more interest in a repeal than the replacement, so that's nothing new and definitely doesn't limit the possibility of the replacement going through.
My vote is based off my personal thought that, if you're in a democratic system, it's important to make sure every citizen has the ability to vote. I also couldn't accept any argument in favour of blanket banning incarcerated people from voting, given how unfairly it skews toward minorities and other unprivileged groups. If we all agree that prison feeds heavily into a system of institutionalised racism and classism, then denying people who are in that system the right to vote is inherently disenfranchising people who are already at a massive disadvantage in society. It's a pretty simple moral argument in my eyes.
Anyway, voted for.
