Rapid population aging, once associated with only a select group of modern industrialized nations, has now become a topic of increasing global concern.

Nothing More To Do: Euthanasia, General Practice, and End-of-Life Discourse in the Netherlands
Euthanasia in the Netherlands, which has been legal since 1984, is often talked about; yet, only rarely does it culminate in a euthanasia death. In 2001, for example, only 1 in 10 of those who initiated a request for euthanasia with their physician died a euthanasia death. Using data gathered during a 15-month ethnographic study with general practitioners, families, and patients, this article explores the practice of euthanasia, a practice based …

Aelius Aristides, for example, has bequeathed us a similar verdict, although less tersely put. Here is a paraphrase from his eulogy of Rome,whose empire, then at its highest point of development, was to him coterminous with civilization: Had Hesiod been as …
Hero and Leander
IT is one of the most delightful features of classical study that so many classical authors are practically anonymous. Too often nowadays is the student of literature turned aside from his examination of a work by his examination of the writer. This may, and frequently does, assist in explaining why the author said what he did. But there is always the temptation to read the elicited biographical knowledge into the actual words, so that literary c…
