Scientific and empathetic, thoroughly researched, open for discourse and entertaining – that is the idea of the new podcast series produced by the Faculty of Medicine. Each month, experts and enthusiasts come together to discuss various medical topics that can sometimes be difficult to talk about.

YOU ASK we explain provides a stage for hot topics and seeks to answer hard-hitting questions. Does life begin with an embryo? What is the cost of living? Can everyone afford to live? Or rather, is survival a question of money? Who sets the indication for late terminations? Where does fear of the unhealthy come from?

Let’s start at the very beginning: When does life begin? A debate about life, pregnancy (termination) and in vitro fertilization.

• When: January 18, 2023, 5:00 pm
• Where: Kulturpalast Dresden, Schloßstraße 2, 01067 Dresden
• Moderator: Konstantin Willkommen
• Panel of experts: Bernd Kreissig (Priest), Prof. Dr. med. Min Ae Lee-Kirsch (Children’s Clinic at the UKDD), Katharina Langton (Head of the Midwifery Studies degree program)

Anyone who is interested is welcome to join us! Admission is free of charge and prior registration is not necessary.

If you have questions to submit, you can send them ahead of time anonymously via the form or via email.

The podcast is available wherever you get your podcasts and at the YOU ASK we explain website.
