The GLEUBE polemics are intended to covey complex bioethical issues and debates to a general audience, assuming no prior knowledge of the subject matter. They can also be used by students to get a 'sneak peak' into a particular topic or an academic wishing to simply get an idea down on paper.

It is our intention that the following polemics will be accessible to everyone and in that same vein we will not only be including polemics from our project team but also from anyone else wishing to submit one. 

With this in mind we have set the following guidelines for all polemic submitted to the project website.

1. World limit: all polemics must be no less than 500 words and no more than 2,000 words. The ideal length would be 1,000 words

2. References: all references must be in footnotes, each polemic should contain no more than 10

3. If  you are referencing a website please hyperlink it into your document

4. They must be written in a simple accessible format for a general audience

5. The topic can be anything you are interested in writing about

6. Have fun!

All polemics will be reviewed by project staff before posting on the website. Please send submissions to our email address: Europeanbioethics@uclan.ac.uk
