THAT DOES IT

We now have a stable, working society that is guaranteed to last as long as we want it to, so long as we maintain the constraints that have been discussed above.

THE IGC REGULATIONS

[FOR ADVANCED SOCIETIES]

If the Planet Earth survives into the next century, it will have likely have passed its last "crisis" period and,. sooner or later, it will find it necessary to join IGC in order to get its N3 ratingand initiate deep space travel.

These are some of the main regulations that the government of the Earth [or an association of the governments of the Earth if the planet is still fragmented] must accept at that time:

DEFENSE

Planets are allowed to possess surface based defense systems. However, they are not allowed to place in orbit above their planets any destructive device which has any potential to harmvisiting spacecraft. Planets with spacecraft may possess defensive weapons on their craft.

RIGHTS OF CITIZENS

Governments may not interfere with the right of any human being to live in accordance with GOD's Plan or with his right, as a human being, to seek to return to GOD.

MEDICAL PROHIBITIONS

Abortion is a violation of GOD's intentions and is not permitted. There are exceptions which are determined by the Law of Karma. For example, killing a baby is wrong and earns one badkarmas. But, deliberately bringing a "beast" into the world is also wrong and earns one bad karmas. In a case of violent rape the emotions of fear and hate generally guarantee that thechild born from such a situation will be so messed up that it will be less than human [i.e., a beast]. Common sense judgments in cases like this are permitted. IGC regulations are notdesigned to be so rigid that wise, knowledgeable people acting with good intentions and common sense are "forced by IGC" into awkward situations.

The manufacture and distribution and use of DRUGS THATHAVE ANY POTENTIAL TO INTERFERE WITH A PERSON'S SPIRITUALPROGRESS is prohibited. All psychiatric medications andmost street drugs fall into this category.

SAFETY

Member planets must keep their planet clean and safe. People committing violent crimes and doing other things generally accepted to be "wrong" must be picked up and kept out of thegeneral population.
