1:Three states have concluded that not all suicides should be prevented.2:In Oregon, Washington and Vermont “Death with Dignity” laws allow terminally ill, mentally competent residents to ask for prescription drugs to hasten their deaths.[...]113:Such laws have no discernible effect on unassisted suicide: from 1999 to 2010 suicides among those aged 35-64 increased 49% in Oregon, which has allowed terminally ill patients to end their lives since 1997, compared with a 28% increase nationally.

And Israel can be thick-skinned about how the world views it.3:“There's a bit of a tendency to write off Europeans as Nazi-hugging anti-semites,” says a Western diplomat in Tel Aviv.4:But the vote may encourage others in Europe to do more than just urge the parties to end Israel's occupations by negotiation, as they have for 23 years.5:Earlier this month, Sweden's new prime minister, Stefan Lofven, said his country, too, would recognise a Palestinian state.6:And when the issue of Palestinian UN membership next comes to the Security Council, as it may soon, the parliamentary vote might make it a bit harder for Britain to oppose it.

1:Tennessee’s bill is not unusual: since 2004 similar measures have been offered in no fewer than 13 state legislatures.2:Only in one other state has one become law.3:Many such bills, including Tennessee’s, share a common parent: a “Model Academic Freedom Statute on Evolution” written and posted by the Discovery Institute, a conservative think-tank that has long advocated intelligent design.4:This measure protects teachers’ and students’ rights to present and hear “the full range of scientific views regarding biological and chemical evolution,” but it does little in practice.5:It changes no curriculum and does not expressly lobby for creationism or intelligent design.[...]116:Louisiana’s measure, which has been law for nearly four years, seems to have had no discernible effects.7:Instead, these bills seem a particularly successful bit of signalling.8:They let evolution sceptics express themselves in the right place: within the law and outside the classroom.

1:田纳西州的这个法案并不罕见：自2004年起，至少13个州中有人向立法机构提出类似的法案，除田纳西州外只有1个州的法案正式生效。2:这些法案中的大部分，包括田纳西州的，都有一个共同起源：由探索研究所撰写并发布的《关于进化论的学术自由法规范》。3:探索研究所这个立场保守的智囊长久以来都是宣扬智慧设计论的。4:这个法规保护了老师和学生提出、倾听“关于生物和化学进化论的所有科学观点”的权利，但并没怎么落实。5:法规并没有改变学校的课程，也没有明确地为创世说或智慧设计论进行游说。[...]116:路易斯安娜州的法案生效已将近4年，却似乎没什么明显效果。7:相反，这些法案看来在传达信息方面尤有成效，它们让进化论怀疑者在恰当的场所表达了自己意见。8:所谓恰当，即法律之内，课堂之外。

1:THE waves of invasion and immigration that have, from time to time, swept over the British Isleshave led some to refer to Britons as a mongrel nation.[...]112:A study just published in Nature by Peter Donnelly of Oxford University and his colleagues shows there is some truth in this, and that the palimpsest of those events is visible in people's genes—or, at least, that it was still discernible in the late 19th century.
