Arrival Law

Arrival Law
Research Cost: 5000
Summary
Legal scholars wonder at the rules of the strange new normal, on Earth and in outer space.
Description
Other species now walk among our own. This is a genie we cannot put back in its bottle. Whatever the long-term consequences of the alien arrival, we can never revert to a world where terrestrial humanity considers only its own needs, rights and behaviors. The creaking, ancient structures that are our laws, both national and international, were not designed with such an uncanny prospect in mind, and so there must now be a flurry of new edicts and powers. We must establish not just how we respond to our unexpected visitors, but also how and if we integrate the discoveries that arise from their presence in our lives. The implications for genetics alone necessitate an entire new field of law and ethics. Beyond that, there are also the endless complications of life in space - who can make claim to what, what borders there should be, and which technologies must be liberated from patents in order to benefit all mankind. We have thus commissioned the world's best legal minds to draft what is, in effect, a new international constitution; an eye-wateringly complicated starting point from which all the world's nations (and beyond) can begin to legislate for this anxious, bold new era.

"If some ancient race of brilliant, gentle snake-men suddenly crawled from the desert, they would have no rights, no protections! Any idiot with a rifle could turn a miracle into a pair of boots!"
