Mandatory work for prisoners

Do you think prisoners should be required to work while serving their sentence?

Is prisoner labor a path to rehabilitation or a legal form of cheap slavery? Supporters speak of rehabilitation and repaying the costs of imprisonment. Critics remind us that forced labor in confinement can be a form of repression rather than repair. Many point out that the state is eager to use free labor, hiding it under the slogan of “re-education.” Is mandatory work behind bars a fair solution or a return to camp-like methods?

Genetic Modification of Humans

Do you think genetic modification (CRISPR) of humans should be allowed?

The genetic modification of humans and embryos using CRISPR technology is a topic that ignites public debate. Supporters see it as a chance to eliminate genetic diseases and improve the quality of life for future generations. Critics warn, however, that “enhancing” appearance or intelligence could lead to the emergence of an elite superhuman caste, as well as to an ethical slippery slope where the line between treatment and human design becomes blurred. History teaches that every revolutionary technology carries both hope and risk. Is tampering with the code of life the courage of science, or the hubris of mankind?

Organ sales

Do you think voluntary organ sales should be legal?

The trade in organs is a topic that evokes both hope and fear. On the one hand, supporters of legalizing voluntary sales emphasize a person’s right to decide about their own body and the possibility of reducing the dramatic shortage of life-saving organs. On the other hand, opponents warn of the inevitable growth of the black market, exploitation of the poor, and the degradation of human life’s value to that of a commodity. In the background are questions about the limits of individual freedom, the moral consequences of the body’s commercialization, and the risk of creating “biologically privileged” castes. Is opening the organ market a lifeline for the sick or a gateway to dystopia?

Education and grading system

Do you think it is fair to grade a student with artistic or humanities talents according to the same principles as a student with a scientific mind?

Can an artistically gifted student be graded the same way as a future engineer? Today’s education system often tries to fit everyone into the same mold, where conformity to the key matters more than originality of thought. Supporters of uniform criteria argue that this is the only way to ensure fairness and comparability of results. Critics respond that this kills creativity and turns school into a factory of standardized minds. In the background lies the question: is this education, or programming society? And you – do you prefer equal rules or an individual approach?

18-year-olds – adults or still young?

Do you think 18-year-olds should already be punished as adults, or should the age of full criminal responsibility be raised to 21?

The age of majority has always stirred emotions, and today the question of whether an 18-year-old is already a fully grown adult is becoming increasingly relevant. Supporters of keeping the current regulations emphasize that at this age one can vote, drive a car, or start a family – and thus should also be held accountable like adults. Critics, however, argue that young people’s brains are still developing, and impulsiveness and lack of experience should be taken into account in criminal law. There are also theories that harsh punishments for the young serve statistics more than justice. Is raising the threshold to 21 a protection for youth, or a path to impunity?

Mandatory Military Service

Do you think mandatory military service should be reinstated?

The return of mandatory military service is a subject that divides society more than it seems. Supporters speak of national security, discipline, and patriotism. Opponents warn against coercion, a loss of personal freedom, and an outdated vision of the state. In an era of drones and cyber warfare, do we really need universal conscription? Or is it the lack of civic military training that’s weakening our defense? Does the state have the right to demand readiness to fight from young people? Cast your vote – before someone else makes the choice for you.
