Join hosts Tom Murphy and John Williams at Rewired Café and enjoy locally roasted coffee and delicious breakfast items. Each week’s discussion is typically accompanied by some readings you’ll receive in advance via email. Topics for the subsequent week are decided at the previous discussion. This week’s topics are:
In 2014, Ezekiel Emanuel, a well-known doctor and medical ethicist, wrote: “Why I Hope to Die at 75.” How persuasive is his reasoning? In general, would society and our families — and we individually — be better off if nature takes its course swiftly and promptly?“
Recently the debate on censorship and free speech has centered on banning books and suppressing Critical Race Theory in elementary/secondary schools. What are the rights and limitations of parents and politicians to impose their views OR, are they jusified in their initiatives? Does it make a difference when this debate turns to academic censorship at the college-level?
