Example topics that we have debated include over-population, biodiversity, genetic engineering, syringe distribution, pulbic policy, and human experimentation. The YCBS also sponsors speakers to lead forums twice a month, such as Dr. Gene Redmond, one of five fetal transplant researchers in the world and Dr. Robert Levine, head of the World Health Organization's Committee on Human Ethics.
Students lead discussions when no speaker is scheduled.
We invite people from all backgrounds and majors to come explore their own ideas and learn about issues that are not usually covered in the classroom.
