Chill out about designer babies

Scientist Joe Kaplinsky takes a critical look at IVF and overblown fears that a new generation of designer babies may be on the cards. Kaplinsky shows that these procedures, far from creating a society that will discriminate against the disabled or girls, will allow couples to avoid having children with life-threatening conditions and save others. We should chill out about designer babies and leave the decision to the parents, says Kaplinsky.

In the studio, Oxford University lecturer Chris Bickerton, discusses the nature of the EU and the Lisbon Treaty. Having apparently got it wrong and voted no to the treaty the first time the Irish were asked to vote again. Chris explains this is how the EU operates.

Don’t Shout At The Telly: The Anti-War Movement

nnIn a compelling on the sofa discussion, young volunteers examine the anti-war movement. They consider whether the anti-war demonstrations that gained momentum in the run up to the Iraq invasion, embody a new era of mass political action or merely express a confused and disengaged morass, riddled with cynicism. Leading the discussion, Brendan O’Neill, editor of the online magazine Spiked argues that the anti-war movement is little more than defeatism posturing as political argument. He asks us to consider whether, had the invasion of Iraq or Afghanistan been ‘successful’, if its oppressed citizens had been liberated, would the war then have been okay? For Brendan, the answer is ‘no’, but are his fellow discussants convinced?

Making History: Thomas Paine

On the 200th anniversary of his death, this programme examines the role and legacy of Thomas Paine, founding father of the American Revolution. Born in Norfolk, the son of a Quaker corset maker, Paine went on to become one of the most influential men in history. Planting the seeds of revolution in the minds of Americans, farmers and intellectuals alike, Paine created prose that stirred the hearts of the fledgling United States and quickly became known as the voice of the common man. With a direct call to all Americans in 1776 to fight against British colonial rule and gain independence, the 18th century revolutionary had a grand vision for society and a deep-seated belief in human freedom and integrity. Paine s ideas continue to inspire, not least his belief that we have it in our power to begin the world over again .
