Contraception

Which method of contraception do you use most often?

Contraception has long sparked emotions and divided society between those who support modern methods and those who prefer nature. The intrauterine device and the “morning-after pill” are accused of having an early abortive effect, which leads to heated ethical and religious disputes. Hormonal pills, patches, or implants are considered effective and convenient, but critics point to side effects and pressure from the pharmaceutical industry. Condoms or vasectomy are regarded as safer, though still surrounded by taboo. Meanwhile, natural methods such as the calendar method or withdrawal are viewed by doctors with skepticism, but for many people they carry a moral dimension and a sense of “purity.” Is contraception an expression of freedom, or rather an interference with the laws of nature?

Your organs after death – a gift of life or an ethical boundary?

Do you support the idea of transplantation, and would you personally consent to your organs being taken after death?

Your organs after death – a gift of life or an ethical boundary? This question touches on one of the most sensitive issues of modern medicine. On the one hand, transplants save thousands of lives, and conscious consent to donate organs seems like a beautiful gesture of solidarity. On the other hand, many people fear abuses, mention cases of organ harvesting without full consent, or even suspect that the brain death criterion was created mainly to increase “resources” for transplantation. Religions raise the argument of the sanctity of the body, while skeptics warn against the risk of a purely business-oriented approach to human organs. Is donating organs after death the highest form of altruism, or a decision that opens the door to abuses?

Harvesting organs after brain death – saving lives or an ethical abuse?

In your opinion, should organs for transplantation be taken from people declared brain-dead, but whose hearts are still beating thanks to a respirator?

Harvesting organs from those in a state of so-called brain death has long sparked some of the hottest ethical debates. Doctors emphasize that this is the best moment for transplantation – the organs are still oxygenated and suitable for saving other patients’ lives. However, critics ask whether brain death is truly the death of a person, since the heart is beating and the body responds to stimuli. For part of society, it is a clear abuse – taking organs from people who still appear alive. Conspiracy theories go further, suggesting that the brain death criterion was created precisely to expand the “organ bank.” Does saving others’ lives justify such practices, or is this a boundary that must not be crossed?

September 11, 2001

How do you think the events of September 11, 2001 in the USA should be interpreted?

For some, September 11, 2001 remains a classic Al-Qaeda terrorist attack led by Osama bin Laden. For others, it was a “false flag” operation prepared by American services to gain public support for restricting civil liberties and to justify the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. Popular conspiracy theories also point to the possible role of the Israeli Mossad, arguing that many influential Jews did not show up for work at the WTC that day. Doubts also surround the Pentagon – was it really hit by a passenger plane, or rather a missile? Controversy is further fueled by the miraculously recovered passport of one of the hijackers and the almost “perfect” way the towers collapsed, which for many is evidence of planted explosives. Terrorist attack or perfectly staged conspiracy?

Should the West restrict Islam the same way Islam restricts other religions?

Since in many Muslim countries Islam does not allow the presence of other religions and their symbols, should Western states accept Islam on their territory?

Islam and its place in the Western world is a topic that divides societies and reveals the deepest tensions between religious freedom and concerns about security and cultural identity. Critics point out that in many Muslim states Christianity or Judaism are restricted, and religious symbols are outright banned. They ask why the West should be “naively open” to Islam. Supporters of pluralism reply that freedom of religion is a cornerstone of democracy and cannot be limited on the basis of reciprocity. Increasingly, however, voices arise that acceptance must not mean permitting practices that contradict the laws or customs of a given country. Should the West defend its values, even if it means restricting Islam?

Foundations supporting LGBT rights – philanthropy or a tool of a global agenda?

How do you assess the influence of the largest foundations and organizations supporting LGBT rights worldwide (including George Soros’s Open Society Foundations)?

Foundations supporting LGBT rights have long been a flashpoint in public debate. For some, such as George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, Jon Stryker’s Arcus Foundation, or Tim Gill’s Gill Foundation, they are pure philanthropy, a fight for equality and human rights. For others, they are a cover for a global agenda in which LGBT promotion becomes a political tool or even a social experiment undermining traditional values. Surrounding this issue are both facts and conspiracy theories about depopulation, demographic control, or attempts to reshape societies according to a “new order.” Is it genuine defense of minorities, or social engineering financed by elites?
