Organization debate
s123 13 Jul 2010
I've asked prof. Johan Breackman if he would be interested to take part in this debate. He is the president of a non-profit organization called "de maakbare mens" (the designable human). This organization has to goal to investigate the ethics surrounding things like life extension, organ donation, euthanasia, nanotechnology, stem cell research, cloning and other bio-ethical subjects.
We should think about how we are going to design this debate. Will we prepare a list of questions that we will present to the debate guests? If so, how will this list be made? Will the debate be moderated? And if so, who will do this? Will we give the public the opportunity to present questions at the end of the debate?
I ask these questions because it seems to be unproductive to set the people who participate in the debate before the public and wait until one of them starts talking and comes up with a subject.

This is just an idea, but I would love to see Aubrey debate Michael West, evolutionary theory vs sens. Im not sure how contrary Michael Rose is, maybe he would fit too.
You should work the debate out though yes. Is there anybody around here who has been in debate clubs?
