Carter Snead and Lynn Wardle Engaging on Embryo Rights and Stem Cell Research at UST Law

The Murphy Institute at UST is presenting a year-long series we call "Hot Topics:  Cool Talk", exploring "both the Catholic positions and some challenging perspectives on major policy issues likely to be the focus of debate in the upcoming 2012 election. Each program will consist of two expert speakers respectfully engaging in one of these hot topics."  Our first program was Maggie Gallagher and Dale Carpenter talking about Same Sex Marriage.  (Minnesota Public Radio aired the program as part of their mid-day programming.  You can watch the video here.)

Our next program is tomorrow, Nov. 16, featuring Carter Snead & Lynn Wardle talking about Embryo Rights and Stem Cell Research (4:00 -5:00, more details and registration here.)

Upcoming speakers in the series include MOJ'ers Greg Sisk on Balancing the Budget, Tom Berg on Personal Rights & Religious Freedom, and Mark DeGirolami on Punishment Theory.  Other topics we'll take up include Immigration Policy, Health Care Reform, and Responsible Citizenship.  We'll be posting the talks on our website, so you can catch the programs even if you're not blessed to be living in God's Country, Minnesota.
