Now be it enacted that Southern Region hereby ordains the following:

1. It shall be a Class 1 misdemeanor for any person in the Southern Region to perform the following cosmetic surgeries, procedures, and body modifications on or to the otherwise healthy body of a minor patient, regardless of parental consent:

A. Foot-Binding;

B. Female Genital Cutting, clitoris removal, or labiaplasty;

C. Phalloplasty;

D. Penectomy or orchiectomy;

E. Breast or pectoral augmentation, implantation, reduction, or removal;

F. Buttocks augmentation, implantation, reduction, or removal;

G. Rinoplasty;

H. Traecheal shaving;

I. Jawline reshaping or restructuring;

J. Facelifts and browline raising;

K. Neck Stretching;

L. Ear Gauging;

M. Nipple or genital piercing; and

N. Botox injections.

2. Any person convicted of violating this act shall be prohibited from practicing medicine in the Southern Region for five (5) years.

3. This act shall take effect August 1, 2022.

3. If an individual has the necessary support system to assist the individual in complying with post-transplant medical requirements, a covered entity may not consider the individual’s inability to independently comply with post-transplant medical requirements to be medically significant for the purposes of section 2 of this title.

4. A covered entity shall make reasonable modifications to its policies, practices, or procedures to allow individuals with disabilities access to transplantation-related services, including diagnostic services, surgery, coverage, post-operative treatment, and counseling, unless the covered entity can demonstrate that making such modifications would fundamentally alter the nature of such services.

TITLE III: LIFE SUPPORT

1. No healthcare facility shall discontinue life-sustaining treatment to an incapacitated patient solely due to the futility of the patient's eventual recovery, unless the patient has signed an advance medical directive authorizing such discontinuation.

CHINESE EXCHANGE PROGRAMS RESOLUTION

Quote
Whereas, the People's Republic of China (PRC) is a Communist dictatorship with a history of violent conflict against Atlasia; and

Whereas, the PRC has used colleges and universities to spy upon and sow propaganda in Atlasia; and

Whereas, the PRC is attempting to dominate the island nation of Taiwan, hereafter referred to as the Republic of China (ROC), which is an important ally and trade partner of Atlasia;

Now therefore, be it resolved that the Southern Region encourages colleges, universities, and institutes of higher education to relocate Chinese language and cultural exchange programs from the PRC to the ROC to advance Atlasian national security interests, strengthen ties between our two democracies, and promote a positive learning environment to enhance comprehensive Mandarin language education for Atlasian students.

This resolution shall take effect immediately.
