Cambridge Medical Law Society debate: 'THBT patient autonomy should prevail over medical paternalism '

Join us for an interactive debate on a topical issue at the intersection of medicine, ethics and law. Expect competing perspectives, audience participation and plenty of room for discussion.

Depending on numbers, we will have 2-3 speakers on each side presenting 6 minute speeches each. POIs can be made between the 1st and 6th minute of the speech by the opposing team or by audience members. There will be an opportunity for both sides to give a 4 minute reply speech at the end, if they would like to do so. 

Interested in spectating? You are more than welcome. As mentioned above, there will be opportunities to contribute to the debate by making POIs. At the end, you will be able to deliver your verdict by voting on the motion. No sign-up for spectating required, but you may want to if you would like a reminder email prior.
