年轻的时候人们不懂孤独,却常常大谈什么"享受孤独",而人到老年,儿女们一个个羽翼丰满,纷纷离去,需要慰藉的苍老的心灵却不得不面对一个残酷的现实:别无选择的孤独。在"黑匣子"这篇小说里,Anne Ranasinghe 以女性特有的温柔细腻的笔触展示了一位七十老妪无可奈何的悲凉处境。不知道在渐渐进入人口老龄化的中国,是否也有这样的老妪和老翁?

虽然"安乐死"在绝大多数国家是非法的,也与传统的"救死扶伤"人道主义相左,但是西方越来越多的人开始认为当延缓生命已成为不可忍受的痛苦时,人们有权利选择死亡。荷兰成为第一个为"有条件安乐死"立法的西方国家,近年来这一问题也在我国引起了争论。然而这涉及到从法律到道德以及社会影响等一系列问题,如何看待和解决这一社会问题是很复杂的。以下两篇文章探讨了西方社会"安乐死"问题的现状,相信会有助于读者了解这一社会问题。
