The Taylor University Ethics Bowl team, the National
Champion from 2015 and
winner of 27 of its last 28
matches, is returning to the
National Ethics Bowl Tournament. It marks the seventh
straight year an Ethics Bowl
team from Taylor has qualified for nationals.
Thirty-two teams from
21 colleges and universities
participated in last Saturday’s Central States Ethics
Bowl Regional in Indianapolis. Colleges and universities
from Arkansas, Kentucky,
Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee and Indiana were represented at the event. Taylor’s
Team 1, comprised of two
seniors, one sophomore, and
two freshmen, qualified for
the national tournament by
finishing third in the field.
According to Dr. James
Spiegel, Professor of Philosophy at Taylor and coach of
Taylor’s Ethics Bowl team,
both Taylor teams were undefeated in six matches.
Taylor’s Team 1 defeated
IPFW (142-133), Heidelberg
University (167-120), and
Missouri State University
(137-122). Taylor’s Team 2
defeated Slippery Rock University (140-128), Marian
University (152-142), and
Mt. St. Joseph University
(150-140).

was as dominant a performance as our teams have had
at regionals,” said Spiegel.
“Not only did our students
perform superbly in each of
the matches, they were also
models of respect and politeness, both toward their opponents and the judges.”
Other schools participating in the Central States regional competition included,
Belmont, Butler, DePauw
(2nd place), Heidelberg,
Indiana (4th place), IPFW,
Marian, Missouri State,
Mount St. Joseph, Northern
Kentucky, Ohio Northern,
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods,
Slippery Rock, Central Arkansas, Louisville, Southern Indiana, Xavier, and
Youngstown State (1st
place).
Issues debated at the regional Ethics Bowl competition included:
Should Apple Corporation
have complied with the FBI
order to supply anti-encryption software?
Are there some topics that
comedians should not address? If so, what topics and
why?
Should an individual¹s
trash be considered private
or do environmental concerns warrant public inspection of trash?
Should medical professionals comply to Bodily Integrity Identity Disorder patients requests to have their
own body parts damaged or
removed?
Are U.S. military regulations regarding dress and appearance too restrictive when
it comes to religious practice
or are there legitimate safety
and morale concerns which
justify them?
Do private citizens have a
right to disseminate 3-D gun
printing gun design instructions?
Other cases pertained to
public nudity, the harvesting
of organs from anencephalic
babies, and gun control policies on college campuses.
The national Ethics Bowl
competition is scheduled for
February 26, 2017, in Dallas,
Texas. Thirty-six teams will
participate.
