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?

Is the EU starting to resemble communism?

Do you think the European Union is increasingly resembling a centralized, controlling system similar to former communist structures?

Is the European Union drifting toward soft totalitarianism? For some, it’s a symbol of peace and cooperation; for others – a growing control apparatus where bureaucracy replaces the will of the people. More and more voices claim that EU institutions are taking over member states’ competencies, pushing ideologies above nations’ heads. Is the ideal of unity quietly morphing into a centralized structure resembling former communist regimes – only repackaged in a subtler form? Or is it just another conspiracy theory for eurosceptics? See what others think – and ask yourself: do you still feel part of a free Europe?

Would you offer a bribe?

Under certain circumstances, would you be willing to offer a bribe or other material benefit to gain a specific advantage?

Corruption is a topic that continues to stir emotions — not only in public debate but also in the everyday decisions many of us face. Offering a bribe is often seen as an act of desperation, an attempt to bypass a dysfunctional system, or simply… the norm, because “everyone does it.” Where is the line between ethics and pragmatism? Do moral convictions fade when a loved one’s health or a career is at stake? This survey touches on difficult questions about the compromises we make when confronted with reality. And you — what would you do in such a situation?

Psychiatric Evaluation and IQ Requirements for High-Ranking Public Officials

Should high-ranking public officials be required to undergo mandatory psychiatric evaluations and meet a minimum IQ threshold?

Should everyone who climbs the ladder of power truly be allowed to govern? Amid increasingly frequent scandals, irrational decisions, and embarrassing statements by politicians, a new proposal is gaining traction: mandatory psychiatric evaluations and a minimum IQ requirement for high-ranking officials. Supporters see it as a basic safeguard against madness and incompetence. Opponents warn of eugenics and power being seized by the so-called “superior.” Where does concern for governance quality end and dangerous selection begin? See what others think – vote in the survey.

Women’s Voting Rights

Do you think women should have the right to vote on equal terms with men?

Women’s right to vote is widely considered a closed issue – but is it really? In an era of emotional manipulation and social media influence, more and more questions arise about whether the emotional nature more often associated with women makes them more vulnerable to political propaganda and persuasive tactics. Does equal voting mean equal impact? Or is this a taboo topic no one dares to raise? It’s time to ask society directly – what do you really think?

Equality of Votes in Elections

In your opinion, should every vote in an election count the same, regardless of which part of the country it is cast in?

Does democracy truly mean equality? This question resurfaces when we talk about the value of each vote. For some, it’s simple: one person – one vote, regardless of where they live. For others, it’s more nuanced: less-populated regions should still have real influence, even if it means unequal vote weight. This debate reveals a deep divide between arithmetic fairness and political representation. Should the system be “fair” or “balancing”? Or are those two ideas fundamentally at odds? Take the poll and share your vision of what democracy should look like.
