Felix & Sofie: The truth of a woman and science as religion
The Dutch philosopher Ellen ter Gast will discuss the future of the family with Andreas Kinneging (Professor of the Philosophy of Law, Leiden University). Must women return to the kitchen sink? What do differences between men and women mean for the care for the family, the division of roles and policy? And what about men: after all, women do not get children by themselves...

Are we able and willing to become God? Or shall we prevent this? Hans Kennepohl debates the subject with Dutch documentary maker Frank Theys (maker of Technocalyps).
