Year 12 Philosophy and Ethics Conference

On Tuesday 9th February 2010 Year 12 students took part in a conference on medical ethics. Speakers included the charity LIFE, a representative from Myton Hospice, Animal Aid, Anthony Nolan Trust and Coventry Youth for Christ. Topics discussed included vivisection, euthanasia, genetic engineering and the hospice movement. Here are some comments from students and photos from the day:

'It was a good opportunity to think'



'Thought provoking'
'Very informative'



'It made you think and question your own morals'
'I will consider stem cell donation now'



'I didn't realise hospices were funded by charity'



Many thanks to all the speakers, Miss Madden, Mrs Weaver and Year 12 IB students for making this day possible.
