The Why Debate

In The Why Debate, we present you with some dilemmas that don't have a clear-cut solution. Just like in life, nothing is black and white — there are usually pros and cons to every decision you make. You'll need to consider all the factors, put yourself in the shoes of those affected by each option, and tell us what you would do and why!
