  • This house, as Spaghetti Planet, W legalize the sales of Spaghetti

    Infoslide

    (i) Spaghetti Planet is a liberal democracy populated by human-like creatures. It has similar levels of technology and similar societal structures as Earth. When a citizen on Spaghetti Planet dies by suicide, their body turns into a special kind of spaghetti. If they die of other causes, their body will not turn into spaghetti. While citizens of Spaghetti Planet do not like the taste of this particular kind of spaghetti, it acts as a cancer vaccine for humans if consumed. (ii) For the purposes of the debate, inter-planetary relations between Spaghetti Planet and Earth function the same as international relations between states on Earth (i.e., bilateral trade agreements and tariffs can exist, supply chains may operate, means to communicate and travel between the planets, etc.).
