Human Restoration Act

The Human Restoration Act is a bill proposed by the United Nations in the late that attempts to segregate augmented humans from non-augmented ones. If enacted, it would require mechanically augmented people to have a control chip inserted as well as have official papers regarding their augmentations. Anyone resistant to these stipulations would be placed in cities specifically built for augmented people, such as Útulek Station.

In 2028, prior to the UN vote on the Act, there is debate about whether or not it should be implemented. Coverage of the controversy is provided by Picus TV, including a debate involving the augmented singer Ny'ashia Akim and Dr. Stansfield Christiansen hosted by Eliza Cassan.

History
Mechanical augmentations rose to prominence in the 2020s with companies such as Sarif Industries and Tai Yong Medical selling them commercially. This leads to debate over how safe the technology is and how strictly it should be regulated.

Following the Aug Incident in 2027, the public's fear of augmentations becomes more pronounced. Various countries introduce laws restricting the rights of its augmented citizens, including the Czech Republic where transhumans are forced to live in isolated cities. The highly controversial Human Restoration Act is the most notable of these laws. Prior to the legislation being announced, the Illuminati carefully orchestrate a number of augmented terrorist attacks, with the aim of getting "the right kind of headlines". This is to create the right environment for the Act to be passed into law.
