Why should I join the Consilience Forum?
"Knowing many kinds of people in many social contexts improves one's chances of getting a good job, developing a range of cultural interests, feeling in control of one's life and being healthy"

Back up and running with an euthanasia debate.

Is it right to pull the plug? The scope and burden of the decision.
New discussions at the Consilience Forum


On September 27th Adam F. gave an exellent presentation entitled "I want to die, why can't I?" With this, Consilience Forum returned in a new venue, once again bringing you interesting debate on controversial topics - in english, of course.

The presentation, featuring the case of Terry Shiavo - toghether with its far less publicized aftermath - and other tought provoking examples of situations where one could be required to end a life of the another, was followed by a fruitfull discussion, and a "practical exercise" of sorts, where participants had an opportunity to read over, and attempt to fill, a Living Will form. A mini voting was held at the end of discussion, where most participants were in favor of euthanasia legistlations being introduced in Poland, albeit each with huge caveat.

The meeting was concluded over a light meal and a glass of wine.
We will be meeting again in October.
