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?

Pornography vs. Romantic Movies

Do you think pornography distorts men’s perception of relationships to a similar extent as romantic movies do for women?

Pornography and romantic movies are two worlds that seemingly have little in common, yet both can similarly influence people’s perceptions of relationships. Supporters of the comparison argue that both men and women are fed unrealistic scenarios – men with visions of constant sexual availability, women with fairy-tale love free of everyday problems. Critics, however, point out that pornography more strongly affects the brain’s reward system, causing addictions and distorting expectations toward a partner. The question then arises – aren’t both of these forms, in essence, different faces of the same illusion that undermines real bonds?

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?

The Whole Truth About Pharmaceutical Companies

Do you think pharmaceutical companies aim to permanently cure diseases, or are they more focused on maximizing profits?

Do pharmaceutical companies truly want to cure us – or just keep us in a state of chronic treatment? This question is being asked more and more, not only by skeptics but also by ordinary patients. In a world where billions are made on illness, it’s hard not to question the priorities of the medical industry. There are accusations of hiding effective treatments and reserving real cures for the rich. For some, it’s a conspiracy theory – for others, a logical business decision. Who really cares about our health, and who about our wallets? See what others think – and take a stand in the poll.
