Law that was designed to act as a deterrent, someone in fact decided to end their life. They had motive, intention, means. Those put this law to vote should be prosecuted.

There are multiple cases when people take criminal governments to court, typically around climate policies.

In theory, courts are independent of politics. Can use the law to prosecute those in power.

Collaborative effort

All projects in this round are under the umbrella of the Planetary Council. Too many of them 🙈 Need to focus, need to prioritise, that’s why dedicated round acting as community vote. We also welcome (more than welcome) potential supporters and collaborators

Starting a project (hackathon or otherwise) is just a first step on the journey. Some people are better with starting multiple projects (connectedness, finding gaps in the market) some people are better as BUSINESS OPERATORS who enjoy single minded focus. If you are one of these people: please join the effort 🙏
