- Is it ever appropriate to respond to violence with violence?
- How do we respond to health care workers and hospitals that have led to the death of family members?
- Is it wrong to take someone’s life in the case of the death penalty?
- How do I know when I’m truly ready to love and help others, and how do I know when I am ready for a long-term commitment?

- Would you consider permitting neuroscientists to study your mind, and the minds of brothers and sisters?
