The day started off pretty lazily. We were all recovering from our late night and the return of our dear friend Patricia early that morning. Shortly after a much needed breakfast the group decided to go off and take care of their personal errands such as cleaning their rooms or showering. At two in the afternoon there was a presentation by Sergi and Dasha about the intricacies of English Parliamentary debate. Joining us for the informative lecture were Danish students who were interested in the formalized exchange of ideas. After learning the process of a formal English Parliamentary style debate, we divided into two separate teams and hosted our own Parliamentary style debate on euthanasia and its practice in the medical world. The government team centered their defense of euthanasia around humans ability to control every aspect in their life and, through euthanasia, their death. The opposite party focused their attack on the slim line between suicide and assisted suicide, while at the same time trying to zero in on the moral dilemma that the doctors face when administering the euthanasia. After about an hour of intense political exchange the judges decided that the time that did best debating was the opposite party did the best debating, but in the tradition of T-Ball games across America, who won did not matter. What truly matter is that we all shared scones in the end. After debate some went off to play volleyball while others worked on updating our blog. Dinner was served with help with the girllmasters Jenny and Lendyll. After dinner everyone went off to their separate projects. Some watched South Park while others just chilled upstairs. Compared in the other nights this was a quiet night in Aarhus.
