A “suicide machine”unveiled at an Amsterdam funeral fair

At a funeral fair in Amsterdam last week, a “suicide machine”,the “Sarco,” caused controversy. The person who wants to die presses the button, and the capsule is filled with nitrogen. He or she will feel a bit dizzy but will then rapidly lose consciousness and die within 5 minutes. Some people say that this machine is stupid, and even if the real machine comes out later, they will not be interested. To die is easy,while to live is hard.

比大熊猫更濒危的江豚

近日中美科学家共同发表论文称，长江江豚与海江豚之间存在着显著而稳定的遗传分化，它们之间缺乏基因交流而出现了生殖隔离，长江江豚因此被认定为独立物种。如此，长江江豚的濒危程度将比大熊猫更严重。会卖萌的孩子运气不会太差，希望你们能好好活下去呀。

Neophocaena asiaeorientalis is more endangered than giant panda

Recently, scientists from China and the United States jointly published papers stating that there is a significant and stable genetic differentiation between the Neophocaena asiaeorientalis and the Neophocaena phocaenoides. Because of the lack of gene exchange between them, reproductive isolation occurs. The Neophocaena asiaeorientalis was therefore identified as an independent species.Thus, the Neophocaena asiaeorientalis is a more endangered species than the giant panda. Hope we will put efforts to protect them.
