5、英国也有一个牢固的建立晚期病人收容所的传统——只是照顾将要死亡者和他们的特殊需要的医院。茜西莉·桑德斯,国家收容所委员会主席和收容运动的发起者,主张安乐死并未考虑到照顾将死患者有多种方式。她还谈到允许安乐死就会破坏广大的人们对照料和关心的需要:“现在社会上,这很容易使老人、残疾人和依靠别人生存的人感觉到他们是负担,因此他们应该决定退出。我认为任何法律上允许缩短生命的做法肯定使这些人更容易受伤害。”

Cicely Saunders, President of the National Hospice Council and a founder member of the hospice movement, argues that euthanasia doesn’t take into account that there are ways of caring for the dying.

The sad condition of women working as domestics around the world received much media attention earlier this year in several highly publicized cases. In one of them, a Filipino maid was executed in Singapore after being convicted of murder, despite protests from various quarters that her guilt had not been adequately established. Groups lid Anti-Slavery International say other, less dramatic, cases are equally deserving of attention, such as that of Lydia Garcia, a Filipino maid working in London:

11、这三种形式保留着音乐和文化方面的特色,甚至到1965年,这三种音乐没有一种表达出任何激进的新的意识形态。布鲁斯表达黑人的情感;摇滚乐是青春活力的跳动;民间音乐表达反战友情绪、爱和恨。
The three forms remained musically and culturally distinct, and even as late as 1965, none of them were expressing any radically new states of consciousness. Blues expressed black soul; rock was the beat of youthful energy; and folk music expressed anti-war sentiments as well as love and hope.
